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?

[-] Anosyn@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Frostcoins@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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 ๐Ÿ˜„

(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

[-] NonDollarCurrency@monero.town 1 points 1 year ago

Legend, thanks for suggesting this.

Magnifying glass instead of three lines was very much needed, thank you!

[-] Dream_state@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah perfect !

Where can we request kbin support?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Kbin is completely different software. You'll have to ask its creators to make an app for it.

[-] Natejka7273@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] blackbrook@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lets keep it going! Until june 30 we will be ready for mass adoption haha

[-] evev13@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It would be nice to be able to see images fullsceen. Particularly, those posted the the replies.

[-] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

  1. 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.

  2. Not sure how possible it is to make the functionality to be able to create groups of communities. For example, if there is an aww@lemmy.ml and awwww@lemmy.world and awwwww@sh.itjustworks 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.

  3. 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".

Post item thumbnail opens comments instead of pic/link

Edit: not consistent. Sometimes works normally

[-] Appie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think it's about one day for the app to arrive in the Play Store.

[-] Ebonator@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

It's already updated in the playstore!

[-] dukethorion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Looks much cleaner, love the magnifying glass instead of the three lines.

Noticed that the "Saved" tab also says "Search" though...

[-] CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

"search"

... "also search" ๐Ÿคฃ

[-] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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?

[-] Cybermass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Are you working on a fix for community links not working?

[-] dukethorion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks so much for your efforts! This app is really great, and I'm really excited for the future.

[-] SuitedUpDev@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Hot damn!! That one mighty fine update since the previous one.

Which was like 3 days ago ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] ShatteredScales@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not seeing it in either Play Store or F-Droid yet

[-] bruhduh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Download apk straight from github

[-] kadu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] joaopluis@lemmy.pt 2 points 1 year ago

The speed at which this app is being updated - and with quality updates - is insane. Keep up the good work everybody!

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.
