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.

Scrolling is not smooth. I don't have the same problem with other apps.

Scrolling is very laggy for me as well:
OnePlus One LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11)
Jerboa v34

I noticed this as well, it's likely because the app is loading not enough posts to buffer for faster scrolling in both directions.

But I consider it a minor issue, if at all.

Super laggy for me. Sometimes I switch to the website but then the article refresh there annoys me and I switch back. My guess is prefetch, and possibly server load

[–] cefadroxilthranduil 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I do the same. Switch to the website, lose my scroll location and switch back to the app.

Not superlaggy.. But not smooth either.

Would you like to tell my your device, Android version and Jerboa version? I'm trying to collect performance reports and hoping to find any pattern for bad performance

[–] geranimo2112 1 points 2 years ago

Galaxy Tab S6, Android 12, Jerboa 0.0.34

[–] Kureteiyu 1 points 2 years ago

I think this is nowhere near a minor issue.

Experiencing the same on my Pixel 7 with Android 13. Scrolling through the posts index feels quite sluggish for me. I am on version 0.0.33 installed through Play Store.

Could you please clarify what phone and which Android version you're using? This sounds like some compatibility problem.

There have been some reports of performance problems and compatibility problems with older phones or Android versions.

Hi, thank you. It's Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite with Android 13.

[–] sockenklaus 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks, what's your Jerboa version?

[–] cefadroxilthranduil 1 points 2 years ago

0.0.34 F-Droid version

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Butter smooth for me. Samsung s21 here and Samsung galaxy Tab s8 plus. Lemmy jerboa is silk.

[–] sockenklaus 1 points 2 years ago

Would you like to tell me the Android version of those two devices and the used Jerboa version?

And also alpha, lot of more bugs. Maybe in future releases get better, for me the website is best option for now

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

I have the same issue. It's worse when the header is sliding in and out, but I have no idea what causes it. It's not unusable though, just a bit laggy.

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

This has been a problem since forever. But it's much better now.
