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.

It would be nice if you could collapse a comment to hide all children, third make for easier scanning of high level comments without needing to scroll through all the replies.

Relay it my reddit app of choice, and its thread navigation and searching tools are awesome, is you want some inspiration.

I like some communities easily accessible but I don't necessarily want them on my main feed.

An example is politics, I like to check in every now and again but I don't like seeing it all the time as it gets my mood down. And I'd prefer not to have to search for it when I want it.

Reddit Sync (my preferred reddit app) has this feature and I think it would be a great addition.

Is there a way to sort comments? They appear newest to oldest by default and I can't see an obvious way to change that.

I see we can adjust the font size in the settings, however this doesn't change the font size of comments which is huge.

Am i missing something or is this feature not added yet?

edit I thought I would play with the code base and found what i would consider the issue. Running a local build it is running the way i like so i will refine this into a pull request and submit it.

I'm not actually sure what the problematic character is - it might have been " " or another special character (obviously I'd rather not reveal my password 😉).

I usually use full, grammatically correct sentences for passwords ("passphrases"). It works in desktop, but in Jeroba if your password has that phrase it won't log you in.

Instead, you'll be listed as "Anonymous" and you won't be able to take any action other than switch to a different account or sign out. It took me to my home instance, but I couldn't actually do anything.

After changing my password to a more "traditional" one, everything worked fine.

Filters (lemmy.ml)

Been using and greatly enjoying Jerboa for a few months. One feature I'd love to see is a way to filter posts in the local and global feeds, for example filtering out results by instance, text in post title, community etc. I see the default Lemmy "block" function has some but not all of this functionality, I think filters would be an elegant way to enhance this.

The official Reddit app and a number of third party Reddit apps have a function where you tap on a post and can swipe left or right to continue through the feed.

Loving Lemmy so far and I appreciate the space that's been created.

While writing any post or reply, using the backspace key often deletes the previous word (merge two previous tokens) which makes writing anything longer than a sentence hell.

I happen to encounter this issues on posts with a longer title, the title gets cropped like that.

The app instantly crash when I try to run it. I had tried installing both from f-droid and the github APK, none of them worked.

0.0.21 works fine, though

is someone else having this problem? I'm on Android 10

Just curious.

Hello, I am new to lemmy and this is my first post. I use the "Jerboa for Lemmy" app, but I don't like that the size of the text font of posts and comments is big and I don't see an option to change the size. When I click "View Source" of a comment, it shows the comment in smaller size which it better and easier to read.

I get a reply from someone but I want to see the context for our conversation: in Boost for Reddit I can do that. I can't do that with jerboa as far as I can see.
