About Jerboa

Jerboa is a native Android client for Lemmy, a federated alternative to Reddit where communities live on independent servers. It is developed by the LemmyNet team that also builds Lemmy itself.

You use it to browse communities, read threads and comment from an account on any Lemmy instance. The project is open source on GitHub with 1,500 commits and automated dependency updates, and its F-Droid-style fastlane metadata is kept in the repository.
