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.

I think it's so funny that there's a post with the majority of the comments agreeing that a feature that exists should be implemented!
But I have to admit I had no clue myself. Was even contemplating making a post like OP did. Thanks for the tip!
you know whats ironic. i got replies to this post, and when i see about that in jerboa it is pretty cryptic. i have no idea what i posted or what reply i got based on the interface. plus i dont remember anything because i drink too much. 🤷♂️
Totally agree. I wasnt sure what comment of mine you were replying to, and it took me a minute to find your comment when I clicked on the thread title. It's definitely hard to know the context of inbox replies.
I wish it functioned more like reddit permalinks.
In Jerboa it's buried in a submenu. In the inbox screen, click on the three dots menu for a comment reply and there will be a "go to comment" button
Doesn't the little link button do that already?
Yes, I was thinking of the profile page
I actually had the same problem, the solution is to click on the little chain icon underneath the message.
But I agree that that should be the default when you press on an item in the notification list.
When I use the link button it takes me to the post, but does take me to the exact reply.
My problem is, that these icons aren’t there for me. Just the text, then nothing/the next replay.
If you hold on the area with the upvote number it will pop up.
Tap and hold the comment header, that will expand the options. This should be fixed in the next version.
I was going to say, that it doesn't work, but it seems that I just missed the right spot to tap. That works, thanks!
Maybe try long pressing? There's a setting to always show this toolbar under comments, might also influence this view
Sadly, no...
You have to long press on the "1" in the top right. The number of upvotes.
Then you'll see the bar with the options arrive.
Yes. This is very very intuitive and the bae should be expanded by default. Don't ask me 😅
Huh, seems to be a bug then. What version are you running?
I'm on 0.0.33 from the Google Play Store. I just checked, there's no update listed for me
0.0.34 in my case, maybe try that version through github or f-droid
I don't see that, which version are you on? I'm on 0.0.34.
Seconded. This is the most important feature for me that's lacking right now.
Seconded! This would be very helpful!

Would be good to have it jump to the comment, or have a way to reply directly
I can reply directly from my inbox. Can you not?
Nope. Though I'm not using the latest build, only the one on play store. I tried to reply yesterday but had a language error on my other account
If you click the chain icon, does it open the thread?
It opens the post, but doesn't take me to the thread i was focused on so I have to scroll through comments to find it.
The first part at least is already there in version 0.0.34 (which isn't available in the Play store yet): https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/597
Nice!
Help to be able to reply from my inbox as well.
I can do this on Jerboa with no issues.
Actually, the web UI takes you to that particular comment, but not Jerboa 🤷. Haven't looked at code, but I bet it's a bug, cuz sometimes (rarely) it does work, but most of the time, no.
In Jerboa you just have to click the link icon and it takes you to the context, just like it was on reddit
Sometimes, yes, most of the time, no. It just takes me to that thread/post, that's it, not the actual reply/comment.
This one?
Yeah, that one, the chain. I presume it has something to do with too many nested comments, but I'm not sure.
This is already there, but very very hard to find and know unless you know it. This definitely needs UX improvement.
First long press on the upvotes/time on the top right, to have the lower bar expanded. Then press on the chain link button below to directly open the post!
