Looking for a Jerboa alternative that wont be affected by the non-anonymous Google dev bullshit. I cant hop over to graphene or any other OS for that matter for reasons I wont get into. Getting my shit up and running on Jerboa was a hassle so Id like to figure out which lemmy apps will be viable for the future on basic boy androidOS.

Edit: added the app alert this morning as an image

    huh, what’s the matter with Jerboa? I’m using it, haven’t heard anything negative about it (yet).

      I guess OP is looking for a jerboa alternative that can be installed through the playstore. Isn’t the Google shit this thing in which your phone will now not allow sideloading?

        ahhh is that the issue, I hadn’t understood. Thanks for clarifying, glad it’s nothing bad with Jerboa itself.

          I still use jerboa quite often but have been considering moving. It worked well for a couple years but the last month or two there are stupid things like, not being able to scroll back up through the comments where it’ll get stuck, or if I collapse a comment, and try to reopen it the content is blank so I have to exit the comment section and reopen to be able to the top of the comment section and start over. If it is a long comment thread you then have to scroll slow because if you miss the comment you collapsed by accident you can’t scroll back up to find it because the first problem. At that point I just give up on that and move on.

          I made a post about it in the jerboa thread a month ago, it appears to be happening to more than just me, and across multiple devices, even someone on graphene said it was happening to them.

            Trouble with Jerboa is that it’s developed by the same people developing Lemmy it’s self.

            So their focus is split and jerboa is almost certainly the less important of the two
