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 seem to be unable to change my feed view or sort type either using the drop down at the top or the menu, and changing it in the settings seem to just revert back to all/active as soon as I press save. (Have checked using an account on an 0.18.0 instance.)

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Same issue, I can set the defaults in account settings for list type & sort, but cannot change them from the menu or drop down, it simply maintains the default from your account settings... interestingly when logged out & viewing as anonymous, the list type & sort are working.....I think ๐Ÿค” Will drop back on the previous version for now..

I have four main problems:

  • Posts sorting is still broken;
  • Getting "Network error" way too often;
  • Can't open Lemmy links in the app (result in an error);
  • Choppy scrolling on profile comments if you suddenly change the direction while scrolling.

Edit: found a 4th problem.

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Mine is stuck on Local. Nothing changes it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stuck with the same problem, both Subscribed and All take me straight back to Local.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, this problem is known and a GitHub issue exists.

https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/888

This should be fixed soon

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am the only one who gets giddy just knowing issues are being worked on by people that care?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

yep, i recommend rolling back to .35 for now unless .36 gives you something you need.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Thanks very much for the language setting very appreciated ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I just want to say thank you for the hard work!

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I just want to say that I really love this app, thank you for you're great work.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Thank you for this!

My feed keeps defaulting to 'old' no matter what I change it to. Anyone else having the same issue?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. It's an issue with Jerboa, I don't have the issue with Connect for Lemmy which I switched to now since its much less buggy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah thanks for the update. Have many bugs but still good work.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I keep getting timeouts when commenting with this version

Fix default sort and listing type to read from db by @beatgammit in #854

Yay!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Default sort got fixed, but now you can only default sort. :(

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I went back to 0.35 until the sorting is fixed.

Is there a way to manually switch languages? I don't like it when an app decides for me what language to display the UI, and specifically the one that it does chose has terrible line-break issues right now.

Maybe it could just respect the profile language setting from lemmy instead of choosing it based on Android?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This got merged, go into your settings.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can do that from Jerboa's settings.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please let me know where, because I triple checked it now and there is no such option in version 0.0.3.5

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's in the new update (0.0.36)

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, then I'll wait for F-Droid to provide the update. Thanks ๐Ÿ˜Ž

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It seems that totp login was added but I can't get the field to appear ... Am I doing anything wrong ? Should I open an issue ?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks for the great work!

Just a question so I don't refresh the play store every 5 mins. How long does it typically take to go from a GitHub release to play store?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm already on 0.0.36, using F-Droid instead of the Play Store

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

In my experience sometimes a week or longer.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does 36 fixes the issue of .world users not being able to update to 35 because of the instance not updating to v18?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Nope. 0.0.35 and above requires v18.

The swiping to return to the feed from the comments is so nice!
