Pinching the screen (especially with single hand) doesn't reliably zoom images and I have to try multiple times to get it to work

Are you sure this is not an issue with your phone? I can zoom just fine on Jerboa

Nope, I have the same issue, but I have narrowed down the exact behavior.

If you put 2 fingers on the screen in a fullscreen image and slide them even the tiniest millimeter it will go into "pan mode" or so instead of zooming mode. You can no longer zoom until you release your fingers and place them without moving them at all before you pinch to zoom. (I have this happen much more often in practice while using the phone 1 handed on an unstable environment like a tram or train.

Interestingly, you can pan and zoom at the same time if already zoomed in, but on a full image where panning doesn't do anything, it will lock both actions until you release your fingers.

It's hard to reproduce because it is not consistent but I see what you mean. Could you link the exact image that you managed to reproduce this. I'll see if I can report this to the image library that we use.

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
