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.

Minor Bugs / QoL Discussion (lemmy.world)

Just started using Jerboa over the last week or so. Definitely filling the Reddit void and so far the community has been lovely here.

Couple of things with the app:

  • Scrolling to load more posts seems very inconsistent, sometimes I have to scroll back up.

  • Sometimes when I click on a post I just get a black screen instead of comments, and this seems very dependent on where I click on the screen. Not really figures this out yet but seems a bit temperamental.

Anyone else noticed any QoL or bugs to raise?

I've experienced some laggyness, but that's it (I'm on Version 0.0.38). It's hard to tell if issues are Jerboa's or Lemmy's fault. For example, this comment wouldn't submit the first time and I'm typing this on the website. I see you're on lemmy.world and from what I remember, that's an instance experiencing some capacity issues, so that might be the source of your problems? If it is a Lemmy bug/your instance's fault, maybe Jerboa could handle errors more gracefully, so you know what the issue is?

I'm on a Pixel 7, Android 13.

So far, I like Jerboa.

Maybe a bug:

When I go to all, I get a few posts loaded. I scroll to the bottom, and nothing else loads. I have to click into a post, swipe back to all, and then more posts will load, allowing me to scroll.

Feature requests: A version of all that automatically filters out tagged nsfw or porn. And maybe a version of all that automatically limits to tagged nsfw.

An ability to minimize or hide what I am subscribed to in the menu. Ie, I need to click on subscriptions to load what servers I am subscribed to, instead of them being top loaded and visible in the menu.

comments decollapse after you do anything to bring you out of the comments page. for instance i sometimes accidentay click links, or click the reply button, and all comments I collapsed earlier are now exploded.
