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.

It's not a supported feature at the moment I think?

Is this just not on jerboa, or not on Lemmy? There is a section for messages to you.

FYI don't use Lemmy DMs to discuss anything sensitive. It is not a secure chat. This is why we have the option to put Matrix contact info on our profiles

matrix is integrated into the lemmy messaging system tho, so it should be safe.. i think

At the moment it don't seem like it's supported in this app. But Lemmy has this supported and if you use other apps like Voyager you can send messages to other users.

And yes the app supports messages in the inbox but I've yet to see an option to send messages to users I'm afraid.

Hope they will implement it soon. Note that the dev of this app is the same as the lead of Lemmy and it might take time for them to update it as he has his hands full with Lemmy as well.

The last time I replied to a message it just sent it to myself. So it works, just not as intended.

I fixed that a while ago. And I have added support for dming users in Jerboa, should be there in the next release.
