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.

Opening instance/community/post links. (self.jerboa)

There was already an issue on GitHub about this

I don't know if this is a feature or not, but if it is, it's not working for me. When opening a link that refers to a post or community it opens an in-buildt browser inside of the app, instead of ridercting me inside of the app itself. It's a real pain when openig lemmy links and having to switch to a browser every time.

If this isn't a feature, is it planned?

Same, especially when it's a link to a community that I want to join, that's on a different instance than mine. Because then I can't just hit "join" afterwards lol

This is a known problem and has been addressed on GitHub:

If you use this syntax:

  • !community@instance
  • /c/community@instance

Then the upcoming release will handle it (forget if it's 0.0.34 or the one after it).

But for regular links like https://instance/c/community, that's not implemented yet, and I'm not sure if it's planned.

I have jerboa from the play store and when I see for example [email protected] it doesn't highlight the exclamation mark and instead when I click on it, it asks to open with an email app.

It's very hard to use [email protected] because there are only 2 things that happen:

  1. Opens a new tab in the browser where I am not signed in and can't sub. This happens if someone linked the entire address so for my case: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

  2. Crashes. This happens if it is linked like this: /c/[email protected]
