I’m gonna sound a bit like an a-hole but… just move to Liftoff.

Open source, and more (necessary) features.

Do not uninstall Jerboa, it has potential, so keep an eye on it, specially as it is native Android. But as of now, it just hurts the experience and Liftoff will give you what you need for now.

Is there a reason for working like this and not simply be a portal to the other instance’s community?

Instances hold copies of other instances’ communities? I thought it was simply an API call to the other server. Not an expert, tho.

This reads like an AI generated conversation trying to sell PeerTube.

How couldn’t you guys know about PeerTube?? 😅
