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.

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.

yep, same issue with me.

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.

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.

wow! that looks really nice! thanks

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, please! This looks amazing!

I think it looks great. Can't wait to see it evolve.

One issue I'm having is images in comments aren't showing up.

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?

I like it! Looks like a huge improvement. Are there any plans for a compact mode?

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

What do you mean by compact mode? You can change the post layout in the settings, if that's what you mean.

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

Holy shit, that's exactly what I was looking for. I'm big dumb

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

Looks good!

One suggestion:

Can you make an option to hide the controls for comments (up/downvote, permalink and so on...) and make them only pop up when I press on the comment?

When reading the comments of a post, the controls take away a lot of screen space. I don't want to interact with very comment, so hiding the controls would declutter the comment section imho

Example of what I mean in Sync for reddit:

Controls Hidden

Controls shown

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you long tap the comment, it hides the buttons.

But I agree that it should be hidden by default. And swap the long tap and short tap behavior.

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

Thanks! What version are you using? I'm on 0.0.32 and long tapping (or short tapping for that matter) just hides the whole comment

Loving it! Small bug: if I search a community and try to subscribe to it, Jerboa says I need to be logged in (even tho I already am). EDIT it seems to be working now. Weird

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

Yeah that looks great!

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

Looks good!
