Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

I use f-droid to update the app. Didn't see the recent updates and saw the failed build after a search.

I don't know much about programming... not sure whether this is an issue to be resolved from the side of Jerboa or F-droid. Had doubts whether I should inform of the issue in Jerboa's github and sharing this here because of that.

F-droid seems to have done a recent cleanup of apps, focusing on non-foss stuff. Not sure if that has an effect, but sharing the info.

IzzyOnDroid doesn't build apps, but hosts apk's of chosen apps from Github/Codeberg/Gitlab, right?

Yes, but it's the app creators themselves who created those apks. Basically it swaps out trust for 3rd party packagers in for the open source app devs themselves.
