Is there any "About Jerboa" in the app to see what version you are running?

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.

You need to click the hamburger menu > settings > about
The speed at which this app is being updated - and with quality updates - is insane. Keep up the good work everybody!
The bottom bar is much improved but it says search twice, the right one should be saved
"New users complain about discoverability, so we doubled the search functionality!"
~ Jerboa devs probably
I didn't see it mentioned in the changelog, but they also added more instance links to the Android Open Links By Default section.
Settings - Apps - Jerboa - Open by Default, click Add Link button, checkmark the new entries.
Looks much cleaner, love the magnifying glass instead of the three lines.
Noticed that the "Saved" tab also says "Search" though...
"search"
... "also search" 🤣
Came here to say this
Lets keep it going! Until june 30 we will be ready for mass adoption haha
Hey!
I want to thank every contributor and developer for working on this app and to bring so many updates in such a short amount of time. :)
Got a quick question though: if I have Jerboa installed via the playstore, is it possible to update it with the apk? Or would I need to deinstall the app and install it fresh?
In case anyone reads this and asks the same question:
I just deleted the app on my phone and installed via the apk. Works fine now! I had some trouble signing back onto my account, but I guess that was because of high traffic on my instance
I can recommend the app obtainium to keep custom apk up to date via linking it with a GitHub URL!
Obtainium gave me a notification that a new release had been made on GitHub and with 1 click it updated the all on my phone to the newer version 😄
(I had Lemmy via the Playstore first, the uninstalled it and installed it via the apk obtainium)
Legend, I'm gunna give this a go
Legend, thanks for suggesting this.
Where can we request kbin support?
Kbin is completely different software. You'll have to ask its creators to make an app for it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but once kbin is federating properly shouldn't it be possible to view and interact with the content from Kbin? Or is there a technical limitation for that on the app?
Yes you'll be able to subscribe to their magazines which would be seen as communities on lemmy and people on mastodon.
The api which apps like jerboa etc. speak to won't be compatible out the box however.
I wouldn't go as far to say it's completely different software, but the api is different to lemmy.
Hot damn!! That one mighty fine update since the previous one.
Which was like 3 days ago 😂
This app is starting to look pretty awesome! There's a feature I really want from Infinity for Reddit which is swiping between posts. Can that be implemented?
Magnifying glass instead of three lines was very much needed, thank you!
Yeah perfect !
Post item thumbnail opens comments instead of pic/link
Edit: not consistent. Sometimes works normally
Do I need to deinstall from the Play Store in order to run the newest version? The app won't update when I try to install the APK from github.
How long would it generally take for the app to get updated in the Play Store? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm not very experienced with APK's.
It's already updated in the playstore!
I think it's about one day for the app to arrive in the Play Store.
Loooove this update. The bottom navigation bar is much improved, and the new icon is superb, now I can proudly let Jerboa live in my homescreen.
The speed at which this app is being updated - and with quality updates - is insane. Keep up the good work everybody!
Maybe I'm (again) overlooking something, but where is the "button row" below messages? I can't interact at all with messages, just read them and tap the "mark all as read" button.
Not seeing it in either Play Store or F-Droid yet
Thank you so much for your work. This app is awesome for the early stages and this update improved functionality massively. I have zero context of how to make suggestions for the app. I mean it in a constructive way. So here it goes.

In your inbox have a way to see the context of that response. Currently, If you click on it, it opens the entire thread and you have to sort through it to find your comment. In large threads that's a big issue.
-
Not sure how possible it is to make the functionality to be able to create groups of communities. For example, if there is an [email protected] and [email protected] and [email protected] etc a user can add all them as they find them to a multicatagory they created named awww... consolidating them from a user's standpoint but still keeping things decentralized.
-
Make an option for a user to set a default sort/home page. Like clicking home can be set to default to "all" or "subscribed" sorted by "Hot" or "Active".
It would be nice to be able to see images fullsceen. Particularly, those posted the the replies.
Thanks so much for your efforts! This app is really great, and I'm really excited for the future.
Thanks!
This update is amazing! Thank you so much for putting your efforts to make this app better.
