I understand the lack of desire to create a ready made ID database for Palantir but y’all need to look at yourselves and get with 2026
There is also Jerboa in the F-Droid store
Nah, the google monopolists can fuck off right into their own dumpster fire shitholes. I won’t use any app that requires their privacy infringements. Freedom is the only way.

Voyager is great, +1 for those who haven’t tried it. Works great with my self hosted instance.
Same, I really don’t even use all the features it has already.
idk what im gonna do without jerboa. fuck google
The notification doesn’t say development is ending, just that the app will stop working on phones ruining Google’s rootkit
That’s fair, but it’s asking a little much of users to start direct dowloading apks or whatever to get their leftist shitposting app and if I wanted to try that hard for anything but an adblocker it wouldn’t be an Android in the first place.

you don’t need to be manually downloading apks. get a proper app store, like f-droid, and install jerboa that way.
I don’t get it though. uploading apps to the play store has already required devs to prove their identity for quite a long time.
The difference is, they want to remove side loading.
That means all apps need to go through play store. No more f-droid on certified android devices. You need to be on play store, or your app is not installable.
OK you’re allowed to just not do that.
The rest of us who are willing to put some effort in will likely not notice your absence.
Sure, it’ll be just one person lol
Sad, jerboa was my first experience with lemmy, but soon after switched to Voyager
Jerboa was my first lemmy app, which had it’s quirks I think. Then I switched to Infinity, and finally Voyager. Voyager is the best app I’ve used.
For ppl who use the browser and do not like apps, try your instances ui sub domains (if they have any), on Lemmy world do we have multiple, the one I like is https://photon.lemmy.world/
otherwise: I am using the app Voyager if reading on my phone which has been good to me but it is pretty much a wrapped PWA app
I would use phtn.app because it lets you log into any instance, and it’s also up-to-date. The lemmy.world version is over a year old
Come on over to boost or Voyager
Voyager is sick
What do the apps have that the browser doesn’t?
I like Boost because it seems to work really well in low connectivity areas.
isnt boost spyware
This is the first I’m hearing of this, I’m gonna need some sources.
Personally I just think it looks a lot better, and I prefer the infinite scroll. There are some things the browser version does better, like accessing the modlogs and such. I guess, metaphorically, those are your clothes “sorting piles” on the floor.
jerboa is kil?
no
Android developer verification BS
Well, more like it was stabbed by Google and is bleeding out, but I suppose America and the EU could always decide to do the right thing instead.
I have Connect, and Voyager as a backup. I prefer Connect. It sounds like a few people here dig Summit; is it better than Connect, and if so, how?
I’ve tried almost all of them, Connect had the nicer feel and I was able to customize it similar to BaconReader. The dev is quick to respond and push fixes too.
Github page of jerboa says nothing about this
Jerboa the app had a pop-up not too long ago basically saying the end was near.
You mean that Google is restricting sideloading?
That has nothing to do with the Development of Jerboa. They can just as much develop an app according to Androids standard as they could before. The only change is that phones running googles rootkit won’t be able to install it.
I use it daily and haven’t seen a popup
I still use jerboa. Got the pop-up a few times. I will keep using it until the bitter end
Ditto. Imo it’s the most similar to RIF out of all the Lemmy apps, and just like RIF, I’ll use it until it stops working entirely
What kinda phone do you have? Other comments suggest it’s for Google rootkit, and so I wonder if the message went out to folks who aren’t using an Android phone.
I am also so far from a developer so I have no idea.
I’ve been using Boost for r*ddit years ago and I’m still using Boost for Lemmy today. Shit’s too good.
Boost for mobile, Alexandrite for browser, I’m good.
Where are you getting that jerboa is ending support? There’s nothing of the sort on github or on /c/jerboa. I’ve no doubt they’re not gonna register a google developer account, but that"s really got nothing to do with development of the app.
The notification sent to users through the app itself.
I use the app and have received no such notification.
Another user posted an image of it if you’re curious to see what you probably just clicked through.
No, I saw that one. It says nothing about jerboa ending support, just that you won’t be able to run it on “certified” devices. I.E. I’ll have to go through the “allow uncertified apps” nonsense, and install it from somewhere other than Google Play. Presumably it’s available on F-Droid.
Eternity is really nice
I’m a big fan of Eternity too, it just feels the best I can’t explain it.
There are a few of us!!
Best UI by far imho (and a few smol features that benefit my daily use others don’t offer or requires more clicks).We didn’t get the normal installing (“side-loading” & displeasing the oligarchy) pop-up but it still affects us.
