Jerboa

Since the last release, I find that gifs won't play in Jerboa anymore. For example, this comment just appears as a static image for me, even when I click on it. Do you see the same behavior?

Edit: solved by user merde alors:

did you enable "auto play GIFs" in settings>look&feel ?

Then close and reopen the app and that should fix it.

Additional info, I checked via the web in the instance doesn't appear to have any problems showing the upvote down vote counts, it is just in the main screen on jeroba. If I click a post, I can see the current score in the upper right.

When you click on an image and double tap to zoom, it zooms to the microscopic level or is it just me?

I have typed a longer comment before and then accidentally pressed the "back" button on my smartphone before I posted it. The comment was sadly lost and the time I invested was wasted.

I haven't seen an option, which I could enable, such that Jerboa would show me a prompt whether I really want to go back, if I haven't posted the comment yet.

Did I miss it? If not, feel invited to see this as a feature request. (:

I don't get it. The only possibility for searching is the 'search' button at the bottom. But that just searches through all community names.

How can I do the same for post titles or whole discussions? Am I missing something? Thanks a lot.

Go to settings and check off 'show actions bar by default for comments'

For some reason the default is to NOT show the reply button to individual comments resulting in you needing to long press the comment to unhide the reply button.

Is there any way to do this? I keep opening the reply thing while attempting to scroll, not sure if it's my phone being too sensitive or the way I swipe but it's driving me up the wall.

Is this something I can disable? Going to poke in settings to look as well

Edit: omg one of the first few options. Feels dumb. This is a non-issue and resolved.

Just curious. I looked through the settings and didn't see anything regarding push notifications, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask in case I'm missing anything.

If not, are there any plans to introduce them? I wouldn't complain either way, honestly. I'm not sure if I'd even enable them. On one hand, they can be too attention-grabby. But without them, sometimes I feel like I have to keep opening the app to check. I know I'm a little phone dependent, but I'm working on it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

This is unrelated, but I just wanted to say thanks to the devs! I've been on here for a few months and it's been a great experience. Y'all rock :D

For example that red "no person" symbol. I've seen another one that looks like a redish pinkish "no message" icon. What do they mean and are there more symbols like that on Jerboa?

EDIT: While I do appreciate the input, it's surprising that there is no authoritative answer. The git also doesn't specify what these icons mean.

If I was logged into several instances at once in the client and seeing the composite feed and then could choose instance when replying or posting (with some set default, like from: field in e-mail clients) lemmy.world could ban piracy all it wants and it'd still be in my feed without me having to leave it or change instances.

FiskFisk23 and my comment are both replies to Botree's comment, it gets even more confusing when tapping Show context a second or third time.

Is there a query or filter to view only NSFW posts? Sometimes I just want to see the good stuff only.

I'm not hating on this by the way, in fact I think it's kinda funny!

With a lot of talk around new apps in development & coming on stream, something I've been happy to see, & commented on, as choice is always a good thing... I thought I'd just voice my appreciation for the Jerboa team, love this App, such nice Ui & UX, I find it very easy to use, all the view options, post layouts, especially the compact view are really easy on the eyes, & great to scroll through quickly. I know there are some errors from time to time, & the odd glitch here & there, but thats something to be expected, given that Jerboa is still in its Alpha form.. Thanks for all you do, each iteration makes the experience, better & better..🙌🏼

Anytime I open up Jerboa it defaults my feed to local instances only. Any way to have it default to subscribed?

(not because of Infinity obv, it's an amazing reddit app)

I heard on mastodon you can apparently interact with lemmy users, although it presents itself horribly. Is it possible with Jerboa to interact with mastodon?

Just that the icon doesn't fit my homescreen rn, the rest of the app uses material you, however.

Is there an option to be a beta tester? If yes, how can we sign up?

When I open links to other communities in the Lemmyverse, they don't open in Jerboa. They open in chrome. As a result, I'm not logged in and can't subscribe or interact. I've found lots of communities this way but it's a hassle to subscribe to them.

My inbox appears to not refresh. If I switch accounts then go back to the other account it finally shows the new messages.

Perhaps I'm just impatient? Pulling down to refresh doesn't seem to help.
