Jerboa 0.0.84 seems to blindly try to force-open this webpage as a PDF document, when it needs to actually open it up as a webpage for the age verification HTML script. (lemmy.world)

This link drove me nuts last night, until I stopped tapping the link in Jerboa and instead copy/pasted the link directly into Fennec web browser.

If this bug has been resolved in a newer version of Jerboa, well just let me know and I'll make a point to update later.

That is fascinating and if I was more paranoid I would say it's also suspicious lol. I'm joking. I'm sure numatic and dessalines are overall more happy that so many tools have popped up over the past few years.

Edit: also, this totally reaffirms my decision to go through the effort to make it an instance agnostic link.

Yeah, I'm long past any Google paranoid suspicions, it's gotta be within Jerboa and not necessarily recognizing the true document type before proceeding.. 🤷

At least I figured out loosely what's up and a workaround for now. Others suggest I just jump ship and start using a different Lemmy app, but I actually appreciate trying to help spot and report errors and glitches so other devs can improve their own projects, including Jerboa.

An unreported issue is an issue that might likely never get discovered or fixed...

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.
