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.

MODERATORS
IDK if this is possible, but can the downvote button be removed or hidden if I'm part of a community that disables downvotes? I'm afraid that every time I misclick it the admins are gonna boot me for being a negative nancy.
This was fixed in this PR: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/390, it should be available in the next app update
I think that setting works on a per instance basis. No need to worry.
Someone's been looking at Sync for Reddit to get some good ideas 😁
This is how I will end up staying at Lemmy
The creator of sync said that he's considering adapting the app to use Lemmy. Fingers crossed.
That would be huge for lemmy if the 3rd party reddit apps tried to adapt to lemmy.
i'm sure that will be a monumental task but here's to hoping!
I'm going to miss sync. I bought pro in January of 2014.
I'd love an option to load top-level comments only by default.
Great work devs
Thank you :) I'm a third party but I'll try to get my changes added to the official app
can i please filter out image posts i think memes are extremely annoying
wow! that looks really nice! thanks
nice, but looks too flat imo. I rather all black or have some more thickness.
I added a monochrome mode
It looks great, thank you very much for your work!
If you're looking for inspiration on UI design, you might check out Sync for Reddit while it's still active. It's one of the best apps I've ever used.
Relay also has excellent UI. I tried pretty much every Reddit app available on Android and kept coming back to Relay.
+1 for Relay. Great UX
The ability to swipe away posts, or collapse out all the 'read' posts was awesome for browsing
Swiping up to close the link and swiping right to go back to the feed was a game changer. I'm finding Jerboa hard to use without it. :(
Yup only Reddit app I've consistently used for years. None of the others were quite the same
Relay was the only app I could use consistently. I tried all the others. There is a Reddit API proxy that someone was creating for Lemmy that has been linked to /u/DBrady - hopefully he uses it to port his app here too.
Looks good!
One suggestion:
Can you make an option to hide the controls for comments (up/downvote, permalink and so on...) and make them only pop up when I press on the comment?
When reading the comments of a post, the controls take away a lot of screen space. I don't want to interact with very comment, so hiding the controls would declutter the comment section imho
Example of what I mean in Sync for reddit:
If you long tap the comment, it hides the buttons.
But I agree that it should be hidden by default. And swap the long tap and short tap behavior.
Thanks! What version are you using? I'm on 0.0.32 and long tapping (or short tapping for that matter) just hides the whole comment

Just a note to say thanks for your hard work on making Jerboa, really enjoying using it.
I don't think I'd be able to figure out Lemmy without it
It's terrific! Tried it last week but decided to just use the Lemmy website on my phone instead. Now I'm back to Jeroba as my daily driver. Update is excellent. Thank you!
I still haven't added my changes to Jerboa yet (I'm a third party), glad Jerboa is improving though.
The fact that Jerboa makes me click an Imgur link rather than embedding the Imgur content under this post when I click it feels like a possible area for improvement.
In the meantime, you could use ImgurViewer. Setting it as a default app makes it work pretty seamlessly.
edit: didn't realise I'd linked the Spanish page, oops lol
Thank you so much for this!
Works really well. My only complaint is when trying to collapse a comment tree if I accidentally tap a user's name instead then swipe to go back all the comment trees I've collapsed are no longer collapsed.
[edit]
Replying to a comment also uncollapses all collapsed comments.
We'll likely add an option soon to turn off small links (like inline user names and community names) so you won't be taken to the user's profile in the first place if you accidentally tap it.
Could you use a long tap for opening names/links
Yeah, though long tap is already used for toggling the action bar for comments, so you'd end up with a similar issue of using to interact with small links and getting the wrong result sometimes. So probably a user setting to turn the small links on/off entirely would be safest.
This may be a stupid question but does Jerboa support other instances or just Lemmy.ml? I'm on Lemmy.world.
Edit: It does. I just needed to open the sidebar, click on "Anonymous" and it brought up the login dialog where I could select my instance.
It does. I'm at beehaw, currently using the app, and I leave the setting at federated so I can see the content across all instances.
I feel stupid. I can't for the life of me figue out how to reply to replies. (Edit: reply to replies in the inbox, it's not changed in the wild)
Other than that, everything looks good 👍
Edit³: issue closed, I would ask for more clear indication of the feature than (i think this is it) "comment action bar interaction improvements". I know the changelog needs to be succinct and must avoid excessive verbosity, but it took a while to figure out that long pressing in the username/vote counter bar reveals the interactions. Also an option to have them revealed at all times would be appreciated.
Loved it! Been using this client for a while and I like it currently but I like that better.
