About this app
Jerboa is a app for Lemmy, a federated reddit alternative. Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever.
Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse.

you have to sign up, not on the app itself; but through a hyperlink. from there you have to fill out your display name and email as well as a reason why you are there. if the mods dont like the reason or feel like you arent "cool" enough to join, they deny you and you gotta rinse and repeat on another instance. This app is for friends of the mods/admins only, not for anyone else.

Nice interface. There are some functionality issues though. First tapping a link to a community opens it in your browser rather than the app. Some links just crash the app entirely. Also it would be nice to be able to preview the url for links (like rif does) before opening them. Also opening a post, then going back takes you right back to the top of the feed. It would be nice if it could remember where you scrolled to. Anyway, it shows promise. Better than using browser.

"Couldn't connect to the instance." It was working, and I can access the instance through the web site, but this app seems to be broken.
