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

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?

Ah, great. Thanks for mentioning the solution! :D

Now that you mention it - I didn't even notice this! But you could still click on the title of the past and look for the reply manually. Weird that the direct response was removed from the inbox.

This is my current inbox. Don't know if there is even a difference, except for the bar below each comment missing (for voting, responding, etc.)

Thanks for mentioning, I just did this. Feels a bit more alive and you discover more niche channels this way.

Also, what helped me is to set the default sort mode to "hot" instead of "active". The former shows newer and more discussed posts, while the latter showed me posts from 4 days ago. Might be worth checking out. :)

Damn. Okay, that one is beyond me, then. Hope your problem resolves soon!

[–] Anosyn@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let's hope the change comes soon. I really like lemmy and the Jerboa App, so naturally I'd like to see it improved. :)

Might be a dumb question, but do you swipe to the left to access the posts/comments? I can also see the score, but only on the "main page" of the profile, I need to swipe left one/twice to access the posts/comments.

Seems to be another way of doing it. Sadly I still would have to leave the app for doing it this way.

I don't know, maybe I'm just too lazy, but I really don't want to attend online forums/social media (be it reddit or lemmy) through a browser. Just feels less enjoyable to me?

 

Hey! I hope this kind of post is allowed. If not, I'll remove it, obviously.

I've seen many complaints/suggestions that jerboa opens all links to Lemmy-instances in the standard browser. Which, granted, I don't know how long it would take to fix it/implement it as a feature.

So, as I've stated in the title, I discovered some kind of work around! If you see someone dropping a link for an instance, try opening their profile and look into their comments and posted, whether they posted in said channel. Chances are high (at least for the ones I tried) that they posted there already. So you could open the instance directly in the app by tapping on its name above the post/comment.

I realize that this will not work on every occasion, but at least right now most people who plug a channel seem to be a moderator or at least somewhat active in it.

So, until we get an easier way, try looking through the posters profile! :)

Also, if you also know of different work-arounds feel free to share! :D
