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.

If so, how? If not, please could that be added as a feature?

This post doesn't show up in the feed of the community to which it was posted when seen via Jerboa and cannot be opened in the app by any other means. For more details and comparison to other apps, please see this post.

I mentioned in a comment a few days ago that updating to the new version broke for me. I tried updating again and managed to get a screenshot of the errors I see. Uninstalling the app and reinstalling fixes it, so it may be a JSON format change or something causing it.

After the lemm.ee server upgrade to v0.19, when I scroll past the first loaded Subscribed "page" in the Jerboa app (v0.0.54), it provides a "Posts failed loading, retry" message. It seems to dynamically load multiple pages for "Local" and "All" just fine. I have no idea if this is a server/lemm.ee or client/Jerboa issue, just wanted to see if anyone else has seen a similar problem or has ideas to fix. I have gone so far as to reinstall and log back into the app. Thanks.

PS - I was unable to post this via the Jerboa app, either; trying to do so using the mobile web browser instead. Not sure if that might be related somehow.

The Jerboa app crashes when I try to login from infosec.pub (V. 0.19.0). I hadn't used the app for a while, so I can't guarantee that this issue started with the server's switch to 0.19.0.

Is there a way to hide read posts across all instances I'm signed into so when I switch to an account in another instance I don't see the same things?

When can we expect a release that supports Lemmy 0.19? The bug has been fixed a week ago and imhu fixing a breaking bug should justify releasing that patch, no?

I suggest printing an error instead.

I don't like using Chrome anymore, but any link I open goes to Chrome. Way more importantly, any YouTube video opens to the YouTube app, which is a huge problem imo. I end up not viewing 90% of the videos posted on lemmy, because I don't want my YouTube feed to be screwed up.

Even innocuous content is a problem for me. Like, I may be interested in seeing a satisfying wood working video one time, but I don't want my feed thrown off.

As it stands, I pretty much only watch videos on this platform if there's a piped link accompanying them. My 3rd party app for reddit had the option of an internal browser, which I always used.

I love Jerboa, think it has the best UI, and recommend it all over lemmy. But I feel like it's lacking important features, without an internal video player, and less importantly an intenral browser for non-video links.

Even the implementation of a setting that would allow me to open links to Firefox instead of Chrome or YouTube would solve my problem.

Anyway, just a thought.

Edit: So I'm dumb and changing default settings in my phone solved that problem. I would still like to see an internal browser and video player tho.

Hi,

I've been using Jerboa for some time, but one day it started saying "unable to verify JWT token" and I appeared to be not logged in any more.

So I removed the account and tried to re-add it. It crashes every time after entering my password.

Tried clearing the cache. No good.

Any ideas?

(Version 0.0.50 on a Samsung phone running Android 13)

Is there a way to hide posts? I have slight arachnophobia and want to be able to hide posts when they contain spiders without having to block a community or a user.

Can we add the option to exclude communities and/or posts that are in a different language than our chosen default? I'm guessing filtering communities would be easier than individual posts but I'm not sure how language would be flagged. I understand some people may want to see some of these posts but even multilingual people must be bombarded with posts in languages they don't speak. I'm getting pretty annoyed that half of my feed is stuff I can't read.

I've looked through the settings multiple times but I suppose it's still possible this already exists and I just missed it.

I created a second account and use both of them on Jerboa. Is there an easy way to share saved posts with another account? I messaged myself the links using Voyager but for some reason, only the picture but not the link to the post itself was copied.

It's been a week or two now since the top-right menu buttons stopped working for me. I can use the one to select between "Local", "Subscribed", and "All", but the buttons for the sort/time and the three-dots button don't do anything anymore. Has anyone else been having this problem? (And if so, have you found a way to fix it?)

Edit: Jerboa Version 0.0.49, Android Version 12, Surface Duo 2

Also, after a force stop of the app and rebooting the phone, it now works on the left screen, but not the right screen. I tested to make sure it wasn't a dead spot on the touch screen, and that corner is responsive in the OS and other apps. So apparently it's just this app in the top right corner of the right screen which seems very odd.

Another edit: the top right corner button for saving posts or comments and other interactions work fine in the top right of the right screen, it's just the menu buttons that don't work on the right screen

This way one can blur NSFW on their main they'd use in public, and can have NSFW unblurred on their NSFW alt. account. I know of several Lemmy apps that already do this.

I recently became aware of the Accrescent app store after reading this article: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/. It's still in alpha, so it might make sense to wait for it to mature before adding jerboa, but I think it'd be good to have jerboa on there eventually

Since the last update, I cannot write or respond anymore with one of my accounts in Jerboa. The same account works as expected with Voyager and the web UI.

With the present account, I can post without problem (and I wrote this in Jerboa). I don't believe that I modified the configuration in any way.

I get the following messages in the other account:

  • This account is not yet in a ready state
  • This account (name of the account) is b... [cannot see more displayed]

The problem is not limited to any specific lemmy instance (same issue on feddit.de and lemmy.world).

Any idea what is going on here?

When I am in Jerboa on any device (phone, tablet, pc) and I go to my profile and click on posts... it is empty. Yet I have of course made posts. Is there something I need to do to get it to save my posts? Comments has my comments.

It happens to me sometimes when I edit my post, and after clicking the save button, it doesn't save; instead, it gets deleted. Anyone else getting same problem?
