Renaming Jerboa to Lemmy

3 years ago by thayer to c/jerboa

If Jerboa is the official mobile app for Lemmy, why not simply call it Lemmy, or Lemmy Mobile, or Lemmy for Android? It seems more practical to make use of the official platform name, branding and trademark.

Edit: Thanks everyone for the correction, I was under the impression that Jerboa was the official app because it's made by one of the two core Lemmy devs.

It’s not the official app. There are no official app.

Thanks, I assumed it was official due to being made by dessalines. If it's just one of many side projects then I understand the separation.

It just says

Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers [...]

But I get what you wanted to say. I think some versions earlier ths was even more prominent. Like they really advertised it as the app by the official lemmy devs.

I don't think it is. I don't think there should be 1 official app.

Jerboa is a 3rd party Foss app.

Reddit had a few and lemmy has a few.

Currently you can use:

  • Mozilla Firefox
  • jerboa for lemmy
  • liftoff?
  • wefwef?
  • other forks of the above?

There is no official app and probably won't be.

its just jerboa not jerboa for lemmy. There wasn't any other jerboa and I have to admit that I hate these bloated and unnecessary additions. Just decalre openly that your app now only works with lemmy. Problem solved.

Memmy and Mlem both are on TestFlight, although I think Memmy is on the App Store now.

It's just a web app so no download required. Works well on Android or iOS.

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.
