Be aware that this is a closed source app, and since lemmy doesn’t currently have proper oauth, that it could potentially be storing your login creds. Be very wary of any lemmy app that isn’t open source.
An Open Source app that you don’t compile yourself after reviewing the source code has the exact same risks.
There is no guarantee that the version of Jerboa you install from the Play Store corresponds to the source code you see on GitHub.
It’s also on f-droid, which does their own builds, and you could also compare the build with one you do on your own machine. So no, you don’t have to trust me.
Is Lemmy planning on implementing a proper oauth down the road?
There are some ideas for it, and a PR which puts some of them out there, but not anytime soon.
Why would anyone get Lemmy with adds or paywalled features when there are plenty of Foss/adfree options?
Because it is a freaking awesome app and has a huge amount of followers, it is worth giving it a glance at least, if it is as polished as the former Reddit app then I assure you it is worth it.
