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.
Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever. Your donations directly support full-time development of the project.

That being said, my above instructions should make it clear why this was a completely brain-dead UI change and should be reverted/configurable.
I was really unhappy with that change in the last update as well...
I couldn't find a setting to change it back to the actual numbers, but I think that should absolutely be an option in settings.
As you said, the numbers provide a lot more information regarding engagement/views/how controversial a comment/post is.
Some people may feel it's frivolous, but I'm considering a new app if it remains a percentage.
Agreed. It's a deal breaker.
It takes out of the equation how many people actually interacted with it at first glance.
Edit: The 10% downvote is the most reasonable of the bunch. Please let it be configurable.
The next lemmy release has this PR, which will make how you display votes fully configurable. I based this temporary default off of 3 other lemmy apps, which use the Score + Upvote Ratio method.
My recommendation: Revert your app version to alpha v60 for the partial change that looks closest to the latest. See below:
Screenshot
The options are implemented in Jerboa between showing/hiding scores, upvote percentage and upvote/downvote ratio. You can build your own where you set your default option to what you want. Strangely, it was decided by @[email protected] that it would only show when 90% or below, I disagree it should show as long as is it's less than 100%.
I think it has to do with coordinating some back-end lemmy change to make it a lemmy user account setting but Jerboa nor Lemmy.ca have this implemented yet so there's no in-app way of adjusting it currently. It's too bad.
Refer to Jerboa issues/PRs 1378, 1400, 1402. Lemmy PR 4449/4450 adds this to back end but this was 5 days ago, so it's definitely not functional for anyone on the latest minor release version. Imo it should have defaulted to the old behaviour.
@[email protected] @[email protected] see my comment above re: Jerboa. I suggest downgrading to Jerboa alpha v60.
