Renaming Jerboa to Lemmy

thayer@lemmy.ca to Jerboa@lemmy.ml – -13 points –

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.

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.
