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.

Thank you for all the hard work! The app is getting better very quickly.

Cheers!

Another question, is there a way to collapse comment chains?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Click and hold the comment header.

i tried your app and so far, so good. good job 👍 May i suggest you a single click to expand/collapse comment ?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Click and hold the title bar of the comment.

I appreciate you for making and working on this app

I'm a Reddit Is Fun user and soon to be full-time reddit refugee. Coming from RIF, this app already feels a bit intuitive, so thank you for that too.

I look forward to seeing how this app progresses, and Lemmy as a whole. Once I get my bearings here, maybe I can share some earnest input and/or suggestions

[–] Servais@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's quite good, using it so far

Can we use this thread to suggest features and bug reports?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd suggest using the github issue tracker to request features and report bugs. This community is better for discussions, questions, etc. If the request isn't on the issue tracker, it'll probably get lost

[–] XLRV@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok I understand, but I think a megathread for suggestions could be nice too, it would be more accessible than creating a GitHub account, and users could vote for the most requested features directly from Lemmy.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

For sure, that would be fine, there's just a decent chance I won't see all of them.

[–] notExactlyI20@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just started here in Lemmy with the app. Feels great, but it still needs work. Nonetheless, thank you for your work on making the internet a little bit more libre :)

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! Yep Jerboa is definitely still alpha-level. Usable, but buggy.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't seem to find the way to search for communities, via the app.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The bottom bar has a community search.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bottom bar? Where? Which tab is it on?

[–] Adda@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At the bottom of the app, you see a bar with icons: home, three lying exclamation marks, envelope, bookmark, person. The second one, the three lying exclamation marks, is a community search button which takes you to a simple UI with communities listed and a search prompt at the top.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh thanks. I swesr it wasn't working before but now it is.

[–] Adda@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Glad it works for you now. Have fun exploring.

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for making it

[–] Yoru@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

is there an iOS alternative of this? I would like to use lemmy on my iPad as well.

Is there any chance support will be extended to Android 7.0?

I left lemmy when Lemmur started having certificate issues, and would like to come back in light of reddit's impending nuke of 3rd party apps, but I really only use this kind of thing on my mobile, and it's quite old...

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think jetpack compose supports android variants that old now.

[–] MiscreantMuse@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

C'est la vie, I suppose. Thanks for the response.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I think Compose actually supports API levels as low as 21 (Android 5.0).

[–] Adda@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you maybe use PWA of Lemmy on your phone?

[–] MiscreantMuse@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look.
