Jerboa

I use that feature in Boost for Reddit a lot, where a comment has a triangle-up quick-view button which shows the parent comment in a pop-up box (and that box has another such button asf.). An alternative, less quick but more permanent, would be a button which collapses all comments above the chosen comment so that the parent is visible.

edit: github issue #480

Post title basically sums it up, but it'd be nice to have a better option than leaving comments like this if I see something I want to explore more later and I'm wondering if something like that exists already and I just haven't found it

Unrelatedly, shout out to whoever added an AMOLED friendly black theme to the app, it looks great on my device

edit: ask a stupid question and get helpful answers, the bookmark button right in front of my face was exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

BoostForReddit uses PhotoView and ExoPlayer. Would the dev be open to using these? (or a non-google alternative to ExoPlayer, I'd understand)

The title, also here's a picture of my cat to drive engagement.

I am guessing this is not a current function within Jerboa; however, is there an easier way of sharing your community list with a second account on a different instance than individually searching for communities?

If I am within one instance, I may not see the same communities available to join as I do from another instance. I have had to go into the individual instances and search for !community@instance in order to add a bunch of communities to subscribe to.

Was wondering if at a later point, perhaps Jerboa might have the ability to sync subs between accounts on different instances.

Thanks for all the work you have put into this app. Really enjoying it so far.

When I try to view images linked (e.g., from the meme community), Jeroba just reloads the main feed. Anyone else experience this, and is there a solution?

I can't find any way to change the sorting of comments on a post, I can do this in the web up fairly easily though. I think this is pretty much the only think keeping me from using the app rn.

Reproduction steps:

1. Add a profile from some instance that has unread replies
2. Verify that the inbox icon shows the badge with the count of unread items.
3. Add a 2nd account to the app from a different instance. Be sure this account either has a different number of unread messages or has none at all

Expected Behavior:

The badge on the inbox tab should change to reflect the inbox unread number for each respective account

Actual Behavior:

The badge on the inbox tab shows the number for whatever account has unread messages. Changing to an account with zero unread messages will not clear out that badge when using that account.

I want to make a community but idk how, can someone explain

Android 12 fucking sucks. There's this new "feature" where you can no longer go into app defaults and manually define what urls can be opened by which apps. There are "verified links" now which means nothing other than your browser gets to open shit.

When someone posts a link to a lemmy url, that means I can never open it in jeroba. It always opens in my web browser. This significantly reduces the overall usability of the app.

Is there any way around this? I'm one of the lucky few to have an unlocked bootloader phone so maybe I can get an older rom but I wish there was another way.

Hey @Dessalines, I wanted to report an issue on github repo, and I noticed there are 64 open issues, and you are virtually the only one contributing.

I would offer my help triaging the issues. My GH nick is the same as here. 😊

I have been playing around with the Jerboa UI to make it a bit more usable for my style.

Since I would call some of these UI adjustments significant to the original design and I have used a couple different libraries I don't think I should create a pull request for them but I might need to see.

• Changed the theme to an amoled dark style.
• Fixed the weird font scalings for comments.
  The comment (markdown) text fields were set to scale to x1.3. I am sure this was probably to fix something somewhere but it made the comments way to big for me and restoring it caused no ill effects from what I can tell on my phone.
• Fixed the flash bang transitions. Optimized for the dark theme.
• Activity transitions changed for proof of concept but work pretty well so far for my style.
• Comment cards made significantly more compact.
• Comment toolbar (voting options) are now hidden as they take too much space for my liking. Clicking the comment shows/hides the toolbar.
• Collapsing comment chains now collapses smaller with a better indication of being collapsed.

I am sure there are other items I adjusted as well and there is always more to do, although I figured I would put this out there and see what the feedback is like.

This might already be being worked on, but: I noticed that when I subscribe to a community the state of the Subscribe button doesn't change to Joined until I restart Jerboa. Similarly, the list of subscribe to communities in the burger menu doesn't update.

If I should file an issue on GitHub instead, do feel free to moderate this away.

hi all!

first off, sorry, I'm completely new with Jerboa (and also Lemmy). but sometimes it seems I can't directly open links in posts.

the upper post has this issue (I can still copy the link, but there is no way to directly open it), the lower post in the screenshot has the link functioning.

am I missing something?

thanks for any suggestions!

edit: it seems sometimes the thumbnail isn't loaded correctly. so just "clicking" into the empty dark space on the right opens the link.

at least for me that has worked now in every case. (sorry for also posting a comment with the same content, mis-clicked and I let it stay, if someone only checks new comments or something)

edit 2: I think this is a Lemmy, and not Jerboa, bug, because I think this two are the same:

seems some images aren't processed correctly, when it's an image post. all my Pixsl 7 Pro photos aren't working, but are shown without problems, when inserted in the post body or a comment

Sometimes when reentering the app it puts my account between signeditn and signed out. Meaning, that I can still upvote posts and see my comments/posts but loose acces to the subscribed tab.

Title

It would be nice if you could collapse a comment to hide all children, third make for easier scanning of high level comments without needing to scroll through all the replies.

Relay it my reddit app of choice, and its thread navigation and searching tools are awesome, is you want some inspiration.

I like some communities easily accessible but I don't necessarily want them on my main feed.

An example is politics, I like to check in every now and again but I don't like seeing it all the time as it gets my mood down. And I'd prefer not to have to search for it when I want it.

Reddit Sync (my preferred reddit app) has this feature and I think it would be a great addition.

I see we can adjust the font size in the settings, however this doesn't change the font size of comments which is huge.

Am i missing something or is this feature not added yet?

edit I thought I would play with the code base and found what i would consider the issue. Running a local build it is running the way i like so i will refine this into a pull request and submit it.

Been using and greatly enjoying Jerboa for a few months. One feature I'd love to see is a way to filter posts in the local and global feeds, for example filtering out results by instance, text in post title, community etc. I see the default Lemmy "block" function has some but not all of this functionality, I think filters would be an elegant way to enhance this.

The official Reddit app and a number of third party Reddit apps have a function where you tap on a post and can swipe left or right to continue through the feed.

Loving Lemmy so far and I appreciate the space that's been created.
