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.

Any time I click on any of them now it says the image can't be viewed and if I try to open them externally it just says the site can't be reached. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I'm on wifi or not. It seems like almost a third of the images people are posting are hosted there

Im not sure why, but Jerboa suddenly went a bit blue on me this morning.

Is it an update, or something I did? For context, its always had this reddish/purple tint to it:

I don't get it. The only possibility for searching is the 'search' button at the bottom. But that just searches through all community names.

How can I do the same for post titles or whole discussions? Am I missing something? Thanks a lot.

Since the last update, I don't see the total number of upvotes and downvotes but a ratio. So when it is at 0, I see 50% which is less interesting than seeing how many people interacted. Was it me upvoting and a single downvote or is it highly controversial with 100-100? Also: in a highly downvoted comment, I want to see how many people actually upvoted it.

Can I change this back in the settings somewhere?

I updated Jerboa from 0.0.60 (or 0.0.59 I don't remember) to 0.0.61 (all are F-droid versions) and I noticed this issue: the "create post" ("plus") floating action button hides under the navigation panel. Cleaning the cache and disabling-enabling the panel didn't help. The button is still clickable but it doesn't look right. When the panel is disabled it looks fine if course. I'm on Android 13 btw

Before the newest update I was able to collapse a comment and all of its replies by tapping the "headline" of the comment. Now this action only hides the replies.
Can I get the old behavior back?

Does anyone else has this cut off menu bar at the bottom? Or is this a design choice? Feels like something is missing.

Other apps and the UI seem to be working . I have edited out the username and password for privacy reasons. Also i am running version 60 but i was running it the previous week too.

EDIT : Uploaded the wrong .jpeg and now have replaced it i don't know if the change has been federated for everyone .

I know it can be changed back from settings but honestly this just shouldn't happen at all.

I thought 0.62 was supposed to fix the settings scrambling

Reddit had a feature where you're able to configure multireddits, or basically a custom feed of select subreddits and only those, kinda like a preset subscribe list. Does Jerboa have this feature?

Go to settings and check off 'show actions bar by default for comments'

For some reason the default is to NOT show the reply button to individual comments resulting in you needing to long press the comment to unhide the reply button.

I see that the voting arrows and the comment section icons on the front page have swapped sides, maybe in a recent update. I'm using the mobile app of course. I don't know if this is the right spot to voice my complaint. I just think it was better the previous way, arrows on the right.

Hi, I'm using Jerboa in List mode and I recently noticed that posts are marked as read simply by scrolling by. I feel that might be a reasonable change for Card mode, but an entry in a List should not count as read unless it was opened. Or am I doing something wrong?

Hey, folks.

I'm not sure if this is a Jerboa question or a Lemmy question, but is it possible to (or possible to implement) search within a community?

For instance, on this community, I would have loved to have had a search field to search "search" and it only searched the Jerboa community, so I can make sure I'm not reposting something someone else has already asked. It would make it a lot easier to find information, especially in communities geared towards advice or niche information.

I'm not a techy person, though, so apologies if this is something very difficult to implement or a feature that's already there and I'm overlooking it.

Thanks!

I noticed that since the update, the Create Post button doesn't appear on the Home view, do we have to navigate into a community now before we can post? Or is this now located in some other menu or setting?

Also, any update about reverting back to the old method of displaying upvotes and downvotes, as individual totals next to the arrows? Or at least providing that as a display option?

Opened jerboa today, it says this app does not allow screenshots lmfao

Edit: I cleared the apps cache and data and now it works 💪

The comment itself is still fully visible, which is especially annoying for longer comments. This changed after the update.

I've looked for an option to disable but haven't found it. If it's not an option, it would be good to add that option, otherwise I might just not see it?

Solution: An option for this exists. See comments if you can't find it.

After the latest update the icons on the bottom are barely visible/touchable, and i can no longer take screenshots for some reason, please help!!

Jerboa devs, thank you so much for the latest updates - I'm really digging the swipe-to-vote functionality! I do find that it's a little too sensitive and registers votes when I'm simply trying to scroll up or down in my feed or a comments section. I guess I don't always scroll in a perfectly vertical path. Would it be possible to decrease the sensitivity for the swipe-to-vote - maybe requiring a greater deviation from the vertical before a vote registers?

Another really helpful feature would be to add vote indicators to the right of comments - the entire rightmost edge of the comment could have a color matching the vote I gave it, or no color if I haven't voted. Often if I'm reading a long comment I upvote it halfway through, then by the end of the comment I can't remember if I've voted so I have to either long-press or scroll back up to find out. Color indicators in the margin would be helpful!

I've started noticing this icon more and more: usually on comments with no downvotes. What's it mean?

I wanted to post screenshots of my riced KDE setup on Unixporn so I copied them to my phone using a USB cable. And now when I'm trying to add them to a post, it seems to always show the same error (Client request(POST https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image) invalid: 403 . Text "<..."). The app has all the required permissions granted and I'm not banned from the community. What can it be then?
