Jerboa

I'm certain my login info is correct as I'm able to login from a browser. It just says incorrect login. I see that only a few instances are listed by default but I assume we can just type in an instance if it's not listed.

currently at least for me jerboa has verified open by default links and I can't add more to it manually.

am I missing something? I'd like to add some instances that are missing on it myself but see no way to do so, and asking the Devs to add more links manually to the verified list seems like a temporary solution as more instances pop up.

EDIT: I find this annoying because in comment threads when people link to other instances not in the open by default links I have to view them in the browser

When visiting Lemmy while using a browser, the screen follows my thumb just fine. But with Jerboa, while it provides a better experience moving between posts, just trying to scroll down I get lots of delay and halting. Using Android 12.

I get this error whenever I want to comment on one specific community. Anybody knows how to fix this problem?

I have selected Undetermined, English and French in the language setting of my account.

Hello, is there a way to block post from a specific instance (Lemmygrad) to prevent them from showing up on my feed? Thanks!

How can I review the posts that I previously upvoted in Jerboa?

Compare this to the browser:

The spoiler tag not working is particularly concerning.

So I'm mostly a mobile user, and would like to start some community on the instance I'm on, is there a way to do this from the app?

i want 'subscribed' to show when i open the app but it is stuck at local.

i cannot change it in the app but i logged onto my instance thru the browser and changed it. in my app settings it shows it as default but it still opens to "local"

does this not work?

I'm working on a draft MR to fix https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/7 any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Never done any android dev before but let's see how this goes.

I want to see issue #175 get fixed along with giving correct labels to anything else that reads "todo". This would appear to need issue #1 fixed as well.

To claim once your pull request has been merged and a version is released with your fixes comment with your monero address on #175.

As I'm posting things, I'd like to avoid reposting stuff. But it's hard to tell if right now if I am, especially in more active communities, because I have to scroll through the existing posts manually.

title

Hi all!

I tried to attach a image directly to a post, but although the link seems to ok (at least it works inside the comment body as a link), it isn't loaded or shown in the thumbnail

did I do something wrong or is anyone else having similar problems?

thanks!

I've tried multiple Reddit apps in the past, from the official one to Boost to RiF, yet all of them used way more battery charge for the same amount of browsing I do on Jerboa.

This is great! Well done devs!

Not 100% sure that's the right terminology, but it would be nice to be able to keep an eye on the time and my notifications and battery level while using this app without having to pull down the notification shade or go home

Really small thing I can live without, but if there's a way to do that I'd love to know

Edit; I think these two users figured out my issue in this thread, thanks to both of them!

It's driving me a little insane how the transition from one screen to another fades to white. It feels like I'm getting flashbanged. Is there any way to disable this? I couldn't find much in the options.

Question in the title and yes I marked everything and jerboa has every permission

Hello, a feature I'd love, both in jerboa and in the lemmy web interface, would be to mark all messages in a new discovered community as read. I set my account not to show read stuff. So to have a fresh start. If now I decide to subscribe a massive popular community, like technology, after the recent post, I will see old messages forever

It seems like comment text is always much bigger than the rest of the text in the app. If I change the text size from 16 to 12 in the settings, then most text gets very small, but the comment text is still around 14.

This feels backwards and makes it sort of hard to read, I'd much rather see all the other text at 16 and comments at about 14. Is there a way to set that up?

The post

I'm using a bluetooth keyboard with Android 11. In Jerboa's text fields, the left/right cursor keys work alright but up/down seem to work outside of the context of the text box. Meaning, those keys will switch the focus between form elements rather than moving the cursor inside the text box. With muscle memory already in place, this is of course a major inconvenience.
I'm aware that the dev has a lot of work to do right now, so i didn't tag this as a higher-priority bug.

edit: switching between UI elements on Android applicatons is usually done with the Tab key. Jerboa uses the Tab key in text fields more in the original way, inserting a Tab space. Those are used in markdown as a monospace text indicator, so that is useful. In other text fields, Tabs might get converted to spaces, anyway.

edit2: github issue #479

Seeing points absolutely affects how I vote, and I'm curious to see how differently I interact with the app if I can't see that stuff. I don't want to see ANY numbers.

edit: I was confused. I already had that 'feature' on, but it didn't change anything on my device. I thought I just didn't understand what that checkbox was supposed to do.

Up to version 0.0.31-alpha, the sole contributor for almost every release was @dessalines@lemmy.ml. In 0.0.32-alpha, 5 new contributors (@a1studmuffin, @Anna-log7, @oscarnylander, @russjr08, @twizmwazin) joined and contributed an additional 12 changes.

I can't wait for version 0.0.33-alpha and up, to see all the future improvements to the app. :) \o/
