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.

Hi, While Jerboa is improving with quite a pace, I've a few suggestions

  • Grey out title of visited thread immediately.
    • Right now, unless one refreshes, title is displayed normally, making it difficult to distinguish between visited and non-visited posts
  • Open links within the app
    • Right now all the links, videos, etc. are opened outside of the app which takes the focus away. It's not ideal
  • Multi functional FAB button
    • Right now FAB button only adds new post, but it can be used to refresh the feed, remove the read posts, etc.
  • Swipe right go hide the current post and go back to feed

Awesome suggestions!

Adding a "Random Community" button that just takes you to a random Community in any instance would be nice too. I used this a lot on Sync to discover smaller subreddits.

Also, the option to choose when/how posts are marked as "read". For example, it can be after you open the post, or interact with it in any way (upvote, preview...), or just scroll past it.

Yes, a random community button/link would be really nice!

Some Reddit apps like RedReader have this feature, can be useful to discover new communities or land on some wierd ones
