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 only tried Liftoff and the lag was significantly worse there. Maybe they fixed it by now. As for Jerboa it isn't that bad that it would bother me much. Honestly I'm not even noticing it anymore.

It's funny. I hadn't really noticed it til the comment pointing it out made me think about it. It's still not enough to bother me, but I will say that other apps do feel smoother when casually scrolling the feed.

But do they have such a clean and minimalist UI like Jerboa? I really love how this app sticks to the flat and simlke material UI without any visual clutter. I mean have you seen the size of the app? It's some few megabites!
