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.

Test reply. Please disregard. Sorry.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't disregard! As matter of fact I'm paying full attention to your comment! You don't tell me what to do

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

True. My bad. And my regards.

Make me. I will value the shit out of your reply.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I actually forgot this post, and then I read your reply in my inbox and I was like wtf did I say? I value the shit out of you, bonnetbee. Just for being here. So there. What the fuck are you gonna do about it?

[–] dot20 0 points 1 year ago

Hold on, how am I able to see your reply? I thought Beehaw blocked Lemmy.world (the instance I’m on)?

This is great and all but what is being done to load pictures of cats faster?

This is nice, this app keeps getting better and better, but for me the only reasons to go back to it would be if they add mark as read post while scrolling and a button to hide the read posts when you are on the feed.

Voyager and Summit already do this, and Connect for Lemmy does it in a similar way as well.

Now that Lemmy is growing a lot I need my feed fresher as I think the sorting algorithms aren't polished enough to hide read stuff (or move it to the bottom at least).

ooh didn't know Summit had this, might make it my main.

I agree, this is an essential feature for all lemmy apps imo

[–] kratoz29 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it has it and it is the most closest one to Sync and Boost so far... But I don't think it is great... I mean it takes its time for what I have seen.

[–] bappity 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

there is a setting for hiding read posts and there's a pull request on the GitHub for Mark read on scroll so might see it soon

[–] kratoz29 1 points 1 year ago

Nice, that way would function just like Connect for Lemmy, which is not a bad thing, but I like more how Voyager and Summit implement it.

PLEASE add a confirm to exit app when pressing the back arrow. This is killing me!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I updated, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that exists in the current version, it asks to press back twice to exit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I had an older version installed, sorry my bad.

Anyone else have the top status bar be awkwardly dark gray while in light mode? I've had that since Jerboa has existed, but wonder why no one else has mentioned it.

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

Just tested it and I have that as well.

I imagine most people use dark mode so maybe that's why it hasn't been mentioned before lol
