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.

Just curious. I looked through the settings and didn't see anything regarding push notifications, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask in case I'm missing anything.

If not, are there any plans to introduce them? I wouldn't complain either way, honestly. I'm not sure if I'd even enable them. On one hand, they can be too attention-grabby. But without them, sometimes I feel like I have to keep opening the app to check. I know I'm a little phone dependent, but I'm working on it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

This is unrelated, but I just wanted to say thanks to the devs! I've been on here for a few months and it's been a great experience. Y'all rock :D

Do others encounter hidden comments in Jerboa? Many comments do not appear in the app. I can tell they are missing based on the comment count at the bottom of a post.

Sometimes, I can only read child comments. When this occurs, the following error message appears in place of the parent comment.

There is no record of this comment.

However, I can read those same comments in a web browser. Also, I can read replies to my post or comment in my inbox in Jerboa, but not on the community page in Jerboa.

Is this a known or new bug?

For example that red "no person" symbol. I've seen another one that looks like a redish pinkish "no message" icon. What do they mean and are there more symbols like that on Jerboa?

EDIT: While I do appreciate the input, it's surprising that there is no authoritative answer. The git also doesn't specify what these icons mean.

If I search for an instance and go onto it Jerboa is only loading the 10 most recent posts for me, no further. It only started doing this recenty. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I keep missing the vote buttons and accidentally tap on comments which then collapses them. I've accidentally collapsed/expanded some comments several times trying to vote.

Is there a setting somewhere I'm not seeing that changes this? Maybe to a long press or force needing to use the three dot menu to collapse instead.

Back in my days on Reddit, my favourite feature was the ability to hide individual posts if I had downvoted them. It made it easy to hide things which I didn't want to see or felt shouldn't be seen

If so, how? If not, please could that be added as a feature?

This post doesn't show up in the feed of the community to which it was posted when seen via Jerboa and cannot be opened in the app by any other means. For more details and comparison to other apps, please see this post.

I mentioned in a comment a few days ago that updating to the new version broke for me. I tried updating again and managed to get a screenshot of the errors I see. Uninstalling the app and reinstalling fixes it, so it may be a JSON format change or something causing it.

After the lemm.ee server upgrade to v0.19, when I scroll past the first loaded Subscribed "page" in the Jerboa app (v0.0.54), it provides a "Posts failed loading, retry" message. It seems to dynamically load multiple pages for "Local" and "All" just fine. I have no idea if this is a server/lemm.ee or client/Jerboa issue, just wanted to see if anyone else has seen a similar problem or has ideas to fix. I have gone so far as to reinstall and log back into the app. Thanks.

PS - I was unable to post this via the Jerboa app, either; trying to do so using the mobile web browser instead. Not sure if that might be related somehow.

Couldn't access anything while the server was down, now they're back up, I had to relogin on sync, but jerboa won't log me in. No error message but a small Grey bubble comes up at the bottom. Thanks!

The Jerboa app crashes when I try to login from infosec.pub (V. 0.19.0). I hadn't used the app for a while, so I can't guarantee that this issue started with the server's switch to 0.19.0.

Is there a way to hide read posts across all instances I'm signed into so when I switch to an account in another instance I don't see the same things?

119
 
 

When can we expect a release that supports Lemmy 0.19? The bug has been fixed a week ago and imhu fixing a breaking bug should justify releasing that patch, no?

I suggest printing an error instead.

I don't like using Chrome anymore, but any link I open goes to Chrome. Way more importantly, any YouTube video opens to the YouTube app, which is a huge problem imo. I end up not viewing 90% of the videos posted on lemmy, because I don't want my YouTube feed to be screwed up.

Even innocuous content is a problem for me. Like, I may be interested in seeing a satisfying wood working video one time, but I don't want my feed thrown off.

As it stands, I pretty much only watch videos on this platform if there's a piped link accompanying them. My 3rd party app for reddit had the option of an internal browser, which I always used.

I love Jerboa, think it has the best UI, and recommend it all over lemmy. But I feel like it's lacking important features, without an internal video player, and less importantly an intenral browser for non-video links.

Even the implementation of a setting that would allow me to open links to Firefox instead of Chrome or YouTube would solve my problem.

Anyway, just a thought.

Edit: So I'm dumb and changing default settings in my phone solved that problem. I would still like to see an internal browser and video player tho.

Hi,

I've been using Jerboa for some time, but one day it started saying "unable to verify JWT token" and I appeared to be not logged in any more.

So I removed the account and tried to re-add it. It crashes every time after entering my password.

Tried clearing the cache. No good.

Any ideas?

(Version 0.0.50 on a Samsung phone running Android 13)

Is there a way to hide posts? I have slight arachnophobia and want to be able to hide posts when they contain spiders without having to block a community or a user.

Can we add the option to exclude communities and/or posts that are in a different language than our chosen default? I'm guessing filtering communities would be easier than individual posts but I'm not sure how language would be flagged. I understand some people may want to see some of these posts but even multilingual people must be bombarded with posts in languages they don't speak. I'm getting pretty annoyed that half of my feed is stuff I can't read.

I've looked through the settings multiple times but I suppose it's still possible this already exists and I just missed it.

I created a second account and use both of them on Jerboa. Is there an easy way to share saved posts with another account? I messaged myself the links using Voyager but for some reason, only the picture but not the link to the post itself was copied.
