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.

How long does it take for new versions to show up in Fdroid?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

F-droid, about a week. Izzyondroid, about a day.

This is great. Just installed and the image viewer is great along with the fonts being consistent.

Nice update. I'm glad I can now login to any community from any instance regardless of if it's in the list or not.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A great update!

Wish the image viewer would work in small card and list view. Is this a bug, or intentional?

Thanks to all the contributors!

That's definitely a bug, I opened an issue here: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/513

How can we help with localization?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, instructions in the release notes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm actually curious to see how well GPT-4 could handle translations. Particularly because each translatable string has an identifier key in camel case English which gives clues about the context of the line to the translator, so I suspect it would do quite well compared to a naive "Google Translate all the strings" approach.

Anybody else experiencing lag on this app?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It might be the server you're using. For example, lemmy.ml has been completely down for me. Switching to another account on different server made the app work instantly 🤔

I think there is definitely some scrolling lag and performance issues from all the new stuff going in. Some good fixes bring proposed on GitHub so hopefully it's better in the next release or so.

I still haven't figured out how to log in...

edit: thanks, figured it out.

I have also been looking for a while. You have to open the sandwich menu in the upper left corner. Then there is a dropdown at the top and when you open that, you can click on "Add account".

How long does FDroid usually take to show the update?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

F-droid can be like a week, but izzyondroid should take less than a day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I don't have patience, I just grabbed the apk from the github page...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you so much to all the contributors. This new user is very pleased with his new home on Jerboa/Lemmy !!

I'm not sure but is there a bug of buttons not showing under comments in the inbox? I can't manage to open comments in their context

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Try a long tap on the comment body. If that doesn't work, try a tap or long tap on the comment header. It's possible there's a few bugs with some of the new comment interactions.
