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.

If I see a "sub" in my feed I can click on it, which takes me to the sub. From there tapping "subscribe" works just fine.

But I can only search for new subs via the web (browse.feddit). Clicking a link there takes me to Jerboa, but not to the sub. Somehow I just can't navigate to a new sub via a weblink, or any other way for that matter, unless that sub just happens to appear in my feed.

Anyone having similar issues?

Federated subscribes yet don't work. And I'll likely completely remove in-app deeplinks, as they don't really work for federated services, since android requires you to hard-code your site URL(s).

I'll likely have to add in-app pasting / searching of urls, and load the content that way.

I would add a share intent with a label to which you could share links from other apps, which would then make Jerboa open the link. I think I can work on this.

My solution so far: search on browse.feddit. Copy complete link. Go the web interface of your instance. Go to search and there select search ALL on ALL instances, enter the complete link. Click the found result and subscribe from the sidebar.
