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.

Is there any way to search in a particular community? (self.jerboa)

I have been trying to search for a specific topic in a community and I just can't find the option if there is one.

Jerboa doesn't currently have a feature to search posts/comments in a community. The most they offer is search the list of communities. I'm sure other people want this as well, and the web-ui has it, so it's definitely possible to implement. I think just no one has gotten to it yet.

The last few jerboa releases have had a list of new contributors a mile long though, maybe somebody will grab this feature soon.

I hope so. Thanks for the response! :)

How do you use the web-ui I don't see any executable, launch file whatever. is this only for Linux? the jeroba apps is good. I know its in alpha but looking for all kinds of ways to interact with lemmy

[–] PriorProject 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I'm reading right, your account is on https://lemmy.world/. So you go to that website in your browser and log in with your username and password. The web-ui is literally just the website of the instance where you created your Lemmy account.

Aw, lol. I thought it was something else that I wanted to try. Thanks

I don't know if I'm just stupid, but I don't see a way to search the list of communities. Do you mind telling me how?

Bottom bar, second icon from the left. Until very recently it looked like a checklist icon, I think as of today's update it might be a magnifying glass.

That brings up a list of your subscribed communities, with a searchbox at the top that searches all the communities your instance knows about (not just your subs).

Apparently I'm stupid. I just missed the search bar at the top. Thank you!

No worries, mate. The UI in jerboa isn't always intuitive. It took me a bunch of days to notice it too. Happy lemmying.
