Jerboa

I use that feature in Boost for Reddit a lot, where a comment has a triangle-up quick-view button which shows the parent comment in a pop-up box (and that box has another such button asf.). An alternative, less quick but more permanent, would be a button which collapses all comments above the chosen comment so that the parent is visible.

edit: github issue #480

Post title basically sums it up, but it'd be nice to have a better option than leaving comments like this if I see something I want to explore more later and I'm wondering if something like that exists already and I just haven't found it

Unrelatedly, shout out to whoever added an AMOLED friendly black theme to the app, it looks great on my device

edit: ask a stupid question and get helpful answers, the bookmark button right in front of my face was exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

BoostForReddit uses PhotoView and ExoPlayer. Would the dev be open to using these? (or a non-google alternative to ExoPlayer, I'd understand)

Heya, first of all thanks for this great Software, both lemmy an jerboa. I'm looking for a certain feature, that i loved in RedReader, which is a list of all the communities that i subscribed to. I like it way better than just having a "home feed". Thanks for pointing me to how to enable it!

The title, also here's a picture of my cat to drive engagement.

Hey everyone,

I just want to present my fork of the Jerboa app, to backport it for Android 5.0 through 7.x, for anyone that still has older (but not too old) phones. Codenames Lollipop, Marshmellow and Nougat supported.

Let me know if this is helpful for you, or if there are any major crashes/strange bugs that aren't present on newer devices.

No guarantees that I will update it but we will see. Thanks, Rentlar

I am guessing this is not a current function within Jerboa; however, is there an easier way of sharing your community list with a second account on a different instance than individually searching for communities?

If I am within one instance, I may not see the same communities available to join as I do from another instance. I have had to go into the individual instances and search for !community@instance in order to add a bunch of communities to subscribe to.

Was wondering if at a later point, perhaps Jerboa might have the ability to sync subs between accounts on different instances.

Thanks for all the work you have put into this app. Really enjoying it so far.

I've been playing around with Jerboa's UI trying to make it more consistent and readable

When I try to view images linked (e.g., from the meme community), Jeroba just reloads the main feed. Anyone else experience this, and is there a solution?

I can't find any way to change the sorting of comments on a post, I can do this in the web up fairly easily though. I think this is pretty much the only think keeping me from using the app rn.

Reproduction steps:

1. Add a profile from some instance that has unread replies
2. Verify that the inbox icon shows the badge with the count of unread items.
3. Add a 2nd account to the app from a different instance. Be sure this account either has a different number of unread messages or has none at all

Expected Behavior:

The badge on the inbox tab should change to reflect the inbox unread number for each respective account

Actual Behavior:

The badge on the inbox tab shows the number for whatever account has unread messages. Changing to an account with zero unread messages will not clear out that badge when using that account.

I want to make a community but idk how, can someone explain

Android 12 fucking sucks. There's this new "feature" where you can no longer go into app defaults and manually define what urls can be opened by which apps. There are "verified links" now which means nothing other than your browser gets to open shit.

When someone posts a link to a lemmy url, that means I can never open it in jeroba. It always opens in my web browser. This significantly reduces the overall usability of the app.

Is there any way around this? I'm one of the lucky few to have an unlocked bootloader phone so maybe I can get an older rom but I wish there was another way.

Is there a way to do this? Currently, clicking a link (from a comment, as an example) to a community using !community@instance or instance/c/community opens a browser window to that community as opposed to loading in the app. Thanks in advance, and sorry if it's been asked and answered somewhere before.

Hey @Dessalines, I wanted to report an issue on github repo, and I noticed there are 64 open issues, and you are virtually the only one contributing.

I would offer my help triaging the issues. My GH nick is the same as here. 😊

observed this in this thread https://beehaw.org/post/433016 : scrolling up in this picture thread doesn't translate the screen position correctly with pictures in mind. It skips the screen upwards to where the screen would be if no pictures were present. It seems to base the position on empty chat box while the picture is still unloaded.

if relevant my device pixel 6 pro

If I see a "sub" in my feed I can click on it, which takes me to the sub. From there tapping "subscribe" works just fine.

But I can only search for new subs via the web (browse.feddit). Clicking a link there takes me to Jerboa, but not to the sub. Somehow I just can't navigate to a new sub via a weblink, or any other way for that matter, unless that sub just happens to appear in my feed.

Anyone having similar issues?

I have been playing around with the Jerboa UI to make it a bit more usable for my style.

Since I would call some of these UI adjustments significant to the original design and I have used a couple different libraries I don't think I should create a pull request for them but I might need to see.

• Changed the theme to an amoled dark style.
• Fixed the weird font scalings for comments.
  The comment (markdown) text fields were set to scale to x1.3. I am sure this was probably to fix something somewhere but it made the comments way to big for me and restoring it caused no ill effects from what I can tell on my phone.
• Fixed the flash bang transitions. Optimized for the dark theme.
• Activity transitions changed for proof of concept but work pretty well so far for my style.
• Comment cards made significantly more compact.
• Comment toolbar (voting options) are now hidden as they take too much space for my liking. Clicking the comment shows/hides the toolbar.
• Collapsing comment chains now collapses smaller with a better indication of being collapsed.

I am sure there are other items I adjusted as well and there is always more to do, although I figured I would put this out there and see what the feedback is like.

This might already be being worked on, but: I noticed that when I subscribe to a community the state of the Subscribe button doesn't change to Joined until I restart Jerboa. Similarly, the list of subscribe to communities in the burger menu doesn't update.

If I should file an issue on GitHub instead, do feel free to moderate this away.

hi all!

first off, sorry, I'm completely new with Jerboa (and also Lemmy). but sometimes it seems I can't directly open links in posts.

the upper post has this issue (I can still copy the link, but there is no way to directly open it), the lower post in the screenshot has the link functioning.

am I missing something?

thanks for any suggestions!

edit: it seems sometimes the thumbnail isn't loaded correctly. so just "clicking" into the empty dark space on the right opens the link.

at least for me that has worked now in every case. (sorry for also posting a comment with the same content, mis-clicked and I let it stay, if someone only checks new comments or something)

edit 2: I think this is a Lemmy, and not Jerboa, bug, because I think this two are the same:

seems some images aren't processed correctly, when it's an image post. all my Pixsl 7 Pro photos aren't working, but are shown without problems, when inserted in the post body or a comment

Sometimes when reentering the app it puts my account between signeditn and signed out. Meaning, that I can still upvote posts and see my comments/posts but loose acces to the subscribed tab.
