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.

Great work! One suggestion: I think the bookmark icon on Jerboa should probably be changed to match the star icon on the lemmy instance website.

Preferably I would like the opposite (the star to change to a bookmark), but either way I think it should probably match.

Any news on when this might be rolled out?

Will you make a PR? I see all this concepts here, but imaging something is not as easy as actually implementing it. Hope, Jerboa's dev team will grow with current reddit user influx.

Do it! This layout finally looks usable enough.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks nice but I usually use the list view!

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

I'm sure it will be an option. It already is currently so you should be good 👍

Looks nice! I like the existing version so far. Will you add swipe gestures for navigation and upvoting/downvoting comments?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I have been enjoying this app and it's great to see even more improvements

This may be a stupid question but does Jerboa support other instances or just Lemmy.ml? I'm on Lemmy.world.

Edit: It does. I just needed to open the sidebar, click on "Anonymous" and it brought up the login dialog where I could select my instance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

It does. I'm at beehaw, currently using the app, and I leave the setting at federated so I can see the content across all instances.

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

I use it on feddit and can see content from lemmy.ml as well

Sorry, that gif is comically large lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I get Object Error. Can't see it. Room for improvements!

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

Feature not a bug 😏

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

wow! that looks really nice! thanks

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

Looks good!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Looks awesome. Can't wait to see it in the next update.

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

I feel stupid. I can't for the life of me figue out how to reply to replies. (Edit: reply to replies in the inbox, it's not changed in the wild)

Other than that, everything looks good 👍

Edit²: Here is my bug report for the missing inbox interactions, if you are having this issue bump this report instead of opening a new one.

Edit³: issue closed, I would ask for more clear indication of the feature than (i think this is it) "comment action bar interaction improvements". I know the changelog needs to be succinct and must avoid excessive verbosity, but it took a while to figure out that long pressing in the username/vote counter bar reveals the interactions. Also an option to have them revealed at all times would be appreciated.

Works really well. My only complaint is when trying to collapse a comment tree if I accidentally tap a user's name instead then swipe to go back all the comment trees I've collapsed are no longer collapsed.

[edit]

Replying to a comment also uncollapses all collapsed comments.
