It now looks like this in 0.35:

Still should be at the bottom of the form IMO.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Came to say this as well. Still much better than before

This. It's a pain in the ass to use with a big screen smartphone.

I think the Lemmy devs are great backend guys but quite poor at front-end design. That's OK, but they should ask for some advice here. :)

Same with default Lemmy theme, its designed to be functional, not beautiful.

Agreed. It's a UX nightmare to look to the top right to "submit". I understand the desire to make use of an otherwise empty and useless space in the upper right, but it is unintuitive.

A normal button in the bottom right of the form/screen makes most sense.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Loads better!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's much better

A new version of Lemmy was released, and the Jerboa app that updates to that new version isn't released yet on Google Play.

Try the new 0.0.35 alpha here: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases

Or on IzzyDroid: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.jerboa

It looks like FDroid main repo doesn't have it yet, and it'll probably be a week until the Google Play version is updated (it's still on 0.0.33 lol).

Majority of people will use google play because it is the most convienent. Its not officialy released to most users if its not on google play

A new version of Lemmy was released

It's not yet released!

Yeah, I keep tapping the "create post" text wondering why nothing is happening before realizing my mistake.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I kept closing my app thinking I had pressed create post my mistake

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Same always wondering where to click, I think something on the bottom right would be better.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Top right is also fine but make it look like the Send icon when you're posting a comment

EDIT: It's been changed apparently, yay!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Update your app. 0.34 has an arrow to post. 0.35 has more fixes, but its only on Github as of the time of this comment.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

0.34 still has the + symbol for me, and I have it from fdroid. Will need to wait a bit i guess

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.
