Yes, this is always the biggest turn-off for me and it kind of doesn't make want to try it out. Post screenshots, people! Pictures can say more than a thousand words! They just have to be at the very top of the readme.
Was Jerboa the one crashing on opening?
I was also having the Jerboa startup crashes. Version 0.0.35 fixed it for me (it might not be on vanilla F-Droid yet but it is on the IzzyOnDroid repo)
Are you actually looking at it from your instance? The post should say via myinstance.com at the top. I think there is someone working on making this behavior more intuitive. Also I posted this on liftoff.
I've got the same problem. In order to subscribe to communities from different instances I need to do it through a browser first. Only then I'm able to post using liftoff.
After installing Liftoff I use frequently than Jeroma, for me it's simple app with better view of instances than other android app. I hope so that will be Liftoff soon on FDroid repos.

Considering it's a front-end, I'm surprised there are no screenshots of what it actually looks like on their readme.

it looks like it's a fork of discontinued Lemmur https://github.com/LemmurOrg/lemmur

I tried the other two clients on F-Droid but one wouldn't install and the other crashed when opening. So for now I'm on Liftoff.

I just tried it again and it's working. Liftoff isn't letting me interact with anything outside my instance.
