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.

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

love the work! Jerboa has always been quite inconsistent, but this makes it much more visually appealing and clear. Can't wait to see the PR for this :)

Having an issue with images posting horizontal instead of vertical when taken on my phone. I feel like it's probably an easy fix, just something being read funny from the meta data or something? Idk I'm not that clever but I would love if someone fixed it.

If i press on an image, i want it to be opened within Jerboa. Not exit & open in web browser. Could you & team kindly fix/ consider this?

I've just joined the community throught Jerboa, I like it but I miss a couple feature, and hope they can be implemented: ~~I use(d ?) Slide for reddit and a thing I like very much is to be able to fold comment threads so the scrolling becomes a bit more fluent letting me skip threads I don't find interesting~~ (Edit: I'm dumb, pressing the author name does the job).

I'd like to be able to choose default view (Local/All/Subscribed).

Either way, thank you very much for your work so far!

You can change the default view in your account settings, right from the app.

Well, that doesn't work for me but it's the same from browser so I suppose it's not an app problem

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I know why, I've downloaded the latest version from GitHub, and if you've downloaded it on the Play Store, it probably isn't updated yet to the last version, There's a F-Droid repo that is updated quickly as I heard, but I didn't try it this way.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I've downloaded the F-Droid one just today, I don't think is that. But I managed to change the settings via browser using chromium instead of firefox, even if some buttons don't work here too. I'm convinced it's not a Jerboa problem since it reproduces on my pc browser. It looks like some buttons are not fully active

Strange, are you on Jerboa v 0.0.32? I don't know if changing the option via the website update the setting in the app too

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes it does, luckly. My version is 0.0.31 but the 32 isn't available in F-Droid yet, they usually need some time to check the versions, if with the next version it'll already be fixed il just patiently wait. After all I'm not expecting everything to work immediately in a v0.0.x.

Edit: actually, it only shows the updated configuration in the setting page but still shows the Local as default. I'll check with the next version if the problem will be solved

Yeah, the Lemmy dev said that the IzzyOnDroid repository for F-Droid has faster updates than the default repository, so that's probably why.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yay! I've updated and the problem is now fixed!
