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.

It would be nice to be able to reply to replies in your messages or notification damn directly from the tab. Instead of having to open the post and find where the reply was. Especially for situations where it is a post with a lot of comments searching for the specific replies little tedious

You can, but it's difficult to find since the last update. To the right of the username at the top of the post there's an invisible field. If you long press it then the menu at the bottom will show... Somewhere right of username, left of votes.

The only reason I know is that I tried the app before the update, so I knew it was possible and someone posted about it previously.

I really hope they fix this soon. Not only is the space saved not worth the hassle but it's also completely impossible to find, and on longer comments it makes no sense to long press the top to open a menu at the bottom, and long pressing is an insane gesture to use for an invisible field. The same feature is on all regular comments, except that the menu is visible by default.

Ok this is awesome, thanks. I've been wishing for this all day today!

Yea its a bit weird that you have to select that one specific area. Even if I could do it from the entire message, which is what I tried initially, that would be fine. Nevertheless, thanks for the help!
