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 can go back to the post, but it's hard to find my comment when there are many. And having my name not be highlighted makes it even harder.

i found it dicey to get to the thread. have to click on the tiny thread title, which is not the expected behavior

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

Looks like this is fixed for the next version: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/634

I think it's so funny that there's a post with the majority of the comments agreeing that a feature that exists should be implemented!

But I have to admit I had no clue myself. Was even contemplating making a post like OP did. Thanks for the tip!

If you click the chain icon, does it open the thread?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would be good to have it jump to the comment, or have a way to reply directly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can reply directly from my inbox. Can you not?

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

Nope. Though I'm not using the latest build, only the one on play store. I tried to reply yesterday but had a language error on my other account

In Jerboa it's buried in a submenu. In the inbox screen, click on the three dots menu for a comment reply and there will be a "go to comment" button

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

Doesn't the little link button do that already?

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

Yes, I was thinking of the profile page

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

The first part at least is already there in version 0.0.34 (which isn't available in the Play store yet): https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/597

I actually had the same problem, the solution is to click on the little chain icon underneath the message.

But I agree that that should be the default when you press on an item in the notification list.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My problem is, that these icons aren’t there for me. Just the text, then nothing/the next replay.

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

Tap and hold the comment header, that will expand the options. This should be fixed in the next version.

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

I was going to say, that it doesn't work, but it seems that I just missed the right spot to tap. That works, thanks!

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

Maybe try long pressing? There's a setting to always show this toolbar under comments, might also influence this view

Huh, seems to be a bug then. What version are you running?

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

I'm on 0.0.33 from the Google Play Store. I just checked, there's no update listed for me

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

0.0.34 in my case, maybe try that version through github or f-droid

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

I don't see that, which version are you on? I'm on 0.0.34.

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

Actually, the web UI takes you to that particular comment, but not Jerboa 🤷. Haven't looked at code, but I bet it's a bug, cuz sometimes (rarely) it does work, but most of the time, no.

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

In Jerboa you just have to click the link icon and it takes you to the context, just like it was on reddit

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

Sometimes, yes, most of the time, no. It just takes me to that thread/post, that's it, not the actual reply/comment.
