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.

Starting a few weeks ago, everytime I click on a link in Jerboa it opens Chrome to the default page, rather than navigating to the link I'm supposed to go to.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

I don't want to write the whole name of communities to link them. We should have a feature that make appear the community link we want to share or way to easily copy paste the !communityname

Sometimes, it may be good for one's mental health to "take a break" from a community or user. It would be nice to be able to temporarily block posts from a user or community that one may otherwise enjoy in a 1h/6h/1d/1w or possibly arbitrary time period.

Hey, is there any way to make Jerboa showing by default the new posts from subscribed communities, instead of the top posts from all Lemmy?

Are there plans for allowing Jerboa users to create new communities?

And if that's the case, is it going to be implemented soon?

After the most recent update, the view always return to the top of local homepage.

This is very disruptive, since some users would press home when they want to use another app, and would tap the icon on the homepage to go resume what they were doing.

I actually tried to write this post earlier, but something came up that requires me to context switch. When I was done with that, I tapped Jerboa icon on my homepage (muscle memory). To my surprise, the post I was writing disappeared, replaced by the local homepage. I don't even browse local that often...

Whenever I try to click on any post link, it opens up whatever my most recent Chrome tab was. Clicking any post link essentially just works as a shortcut to open Chrome. This just started happening to me this morning.

I've noticed that lately when I try to click on a hyperlink or something like that my internet app will open but it just sits at the home page. Is anyone else dealing with this?

Markup let's you label a link which is really nice for readability but can also be used to trick people into opening a different site from what they are shown. For example the link below suggests it takes you to a Mastodon instance but if you blindly tap it it will take you somewhere else:

https://mastodon.social/explore

Is there a quick and convenient way to check the actual URL behind a link? I know that it's possible to show a post as plain markup but in longer posts with potentially multiple links it's cumbersome to correlate what is what.

Ideally long tapping a link should show you the actual URL or alternatively you always get a small confirmation pop up with a simple tap (that's how it worked on RIF for instance).

Just sanity checking if I'm missing anything, else I might submit a feature request.

Edit: looks like this was added in a recent update. Get the newest version and it will let you long press a link to get an options menu.

Is there any way to disable thumbnail downloads on mobile data?

When I am typing and press the backspace, the words get clumped together that shouldnt have been.

I want to know if any option is available for cross-posting.

Pinching the screen (especially with single hand) doesn't reliably zoom images and I have to try multiple times to get it to work

Sometimes when scrolling it just abruptly starts scrolling up with massive speed. I don't know how to reproduce this issue.

I'm a bit lost. Is there a way to see the included Matrix username when visitng someones profile? Or is that not the point at all, and I'm misunderstanding something?

It would be so great if I could share pictures and videos directly to other apps much like in other lemmy clients (sync, infinity, etc..)

Occuring on the newest version on android. Maybe someone knowledgeable ongithib can open an issue or even fix it themselfes.

The last shown symbol might also weirdly get smaller if there is not enough space for the whole symbol.

Sometimes I come across a image that I want to share with someone. Currently it takes a bit more time, and I have to download the image in order to do it. I would love to have share functionality built in the image viewer.

Is there a way to group the communities I'm subscribed to? Let's say:News, Work, Sports, etc.

Trying to expand comments (e.g., 3 additional responses in the pic below) is causing the app to crash.
