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.

Prior to 0.0.33 there were all the buttons below messages, vote arrows, show context, mark read and reply. Have they been hidden and I just don't know how to show them? Is this a bug? Am I dumb?

EDIT: Added my bug report as embedded post link.

EDIT²: Closing my bug report, solution is to long press on the username area of the message.

0.0.33 update log should mention this. It's a good feature, but frustrating if it's not mentioned in the documentation.

Edit³: I believe that the line in the changelog:

"Comment action bar improvements by @twizmwazin in #453"
Refers to what is happening, I'm not entirely sure.

Just out of curiosity, can you make a screenshot of your inbox? I'm still running 0.0.32, so I don't know how the new design looks like.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

This is my current inbox. Don't know if there is even a difference, except for the bar below each comment missing (for voting, responding, etc.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@[email protected] figured it out, long press in the username/vote count bar to reveal the interactions.

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

THANK YOU.

That was so frustrating for a bit there.

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

No worries, I feel like this feature should be optional.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Beat me to it!

I'll go make a bug report.

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

Can you share with the rest of us here ? If other people have the same issue, then people can find it and not create duplicate bug reports.

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

I've edited the post to embed the bug report

No sweat!

I'm enjoying being part of the process.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same! Even tho I am not even affiliated with the project.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

🥳🥳🥳🥳

And touching the text (or title) of a comment doesn't reveal the bar below the comment ?

I just went over the changelog in the release, it doesn't mention that change anywhere. Except expanding the tappable area for a comment. See https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/436. Maybe it's a bug ? You can always fill a bug report at the Github page.

Long pressing the top bar where username and vote count is located reveals the interactions. I've closed the issue.

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

Thanks! I just updated to the latest version as well and my god, that's finicky to get right.

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

Also seems like the votes aren't working, could be a server load issue though.

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

Yeah most likely. All the servers are currently smoking.

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

Surprised I am not. Reddit Hug of Death strikes again, hopefully it's a final gasping breath.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit's hug of death before we let it die...

It's almost poetic.

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

Almost brings a tear to my eye.

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

No, the only tappy interaction is the collapse comment function

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

I've already filled out a bug report

EDIT - further to the below, I've got it working. If you long hold on the number of upvotes the reply has, the bar reappears.

Just wondering the same - oddly enough when I was looking at my inbox just now, I managed to get the up/down/reply options to appear on one of my replies, but I'm not sure how I did it, and I couldn't reproduce. I thought maybe I had long-held on the reply, but it didn't work when I tried again. Hopefully just a bug.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

YOU'RE A GODDAMN GENIUS!

Long hold on the name, not the text body.

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

Woop! Glad it's working for you too. Would be good to have the option to have it always visible, but this works for now :-)

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

Absolutely. Or at least have it documented in the change log.

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

Well this is really bad user interface design. Really a wtf moment for me at least.

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

I'm personally not a fan, it does make things cleaner looking but it did my head in before it was figured out.

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

Now that you mention it - I didn't even notice this! But you could still click on the title of the past and look for the reply manually. Weird that the direct response was removed from the inbox.

[–] sanguinepar 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Solution found - long hold on the username (or anywhere horizontal to that) and the interaction bar reappears :-)

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

Ah, great. Thanks for mentioning the solution! :D

[–] sanguinepar 3 points 1 year ago

No problem 👍

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

That's what I've been doing. On a small post like this one, it's not a big deal, but trying to find my comment in a 300+ comment thread makes me not want to reply or upvote....
