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.

Please forgive my ignorance but i am new: When i subscribe to a non-local instanced community. I can see the posts from that community only in "all". Is there a way to filter posts by community?

All I see is local or all as options. Am i doing something wrong?

They should show up in Subscribed, I think. They do for me. Although it did take a little while after I first added them, for some reason. Maybe give it a day and see if non-local posts start showing up in your Subscribed then?

I have the option for local and all. To which i assume all implies subscribed but i was hoping to have an option to have a filter per subscription.

Say if i am subscribed to, say, world news, i would like to be able to just see world news. Even if it's not local... if possible.

Oh that's interesting. I have three options: Local, Subscribed, and All

But to see just one community you should be able to tap on the community name / image and browse just that one, regardless of what instance it's on. I don't think you can set a single community as the default view though

I see the option here but doesn't work... And not clickable.

How did you get to your option list in your screenshot?

Not really looking for a default view per se... Just a way to filter per community honestly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I closed and opened the app and they appeared

Looking at your screenshot, you aren't logged in....

I got to it via this button at the top of the UI:

It looks to me like your app hasn't caught up with your subscriptions yet. The first day I used Jerboa nothing showed up in my subscriptions list even though I hit subscribe on a bunch of communities. I went to bed and by the next morning it was working fine:

This is probably one of those "growing pains" things that Lemmy and Jerboa are gonna be going through for a while while the folks behind the scenes get things ironed out. I'd just give it a bit and see if they spontaneously appear tomorrow like mine did.

Edit: you might also want to try force-stopping the app and reloading it? That might force it to pull your subscription data again, idk

If you'd prefer you can probably open a ticket on the jerboa github about it, although I'm sure the developers have a lot of things to work on at the moment so it might not get priority yet.

Interesting! Indeed, the subscription list only updates when i force quit and reopen.

Thank you very much! At least i have a workaround.

Do you not see an option to view subscribed ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I see a header like label on the sidebar on my phone but there's nothing underneath or clickable.

My only two working options is local and all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Same for me, it's impossible to change default view in user settings.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Do you see a list of the communities you are subscribed to, under the subscriptions heading, in the lower portion of the menu??

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

It appears the list communies i am subscribed to only refreshes when i force close and reopen the app on my phone. Which is why i was initially confused.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I noticed that also, having subscribed to a couple more, they didn't appear in the list, until I closed and reopened the app...🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Im using Jerboa. And there is annoption for subscribed view only.

I see the sidebar with subscribed header... But nothing there underneath on my android phone.

Maybe a bug perhaps?

Which version of Jerboa do you have? The latest is 0.0.32. New updates are first released on F-Droid, in the izzysoft repository. It's in active alpha development, so updates are coming every couple of days. I remember having a similar issue in the beginning with an older version. If you have the playstore version installed and want to change to the F-Droid one, you want to first uninstall the playstore version.

I do have the google play version but it is indeed 0.0.32.

I'll look into the f-droid version. Thank you
