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.

I can go back to the post, but it's hard to find my comment when there are many. And having my name not be highlighted makes it even harder.

I actually had the same problem, the solution is to click on the little chain icon underneath the message.

But I agree that that should be the default when you press on an item in the notification list.

My problem is, that these icons aren’t there for me. Just the text, then nothing/the next replay.

Maybe try long pressing? There's a setting to always show this toolbar under comments, might also influence this view

Huh, seems to be a bug then. What version are you running?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm on 0.0.33 from the Google Play Store. I just checked, there's no update listed for me

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

0.0.34 in my case, maybe try that version through github or f-droid

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

Tap and hold the comment header, that will expand the options. This should be fixed in the next version.

I was going to say, that it doesn't work, but it seems that I just missed the right spot to tap. That works, thanks!

Would be good to have it jump to the comment, or have a way to reply directly

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

I can reply directly from my inbox. Can you not?

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

Nope. Though I'm not using the latest build, only the one on play store. I tried to reply yesterday but had a language error on my other account

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

Seconded! This would be very helpful!

If you click the chain icon, does it open the thread?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In Jerboa it's buried in a submenu. In the inbox screen, click on the three dots menu for a comment reply and there will be a "go to comment" button

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Doesn't the little link button do that already?

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

Yes, I was thinking of the profile page

Actually, the web UI takes you to that particular comment, but not Jerboa 🤷. Haven't looked at code, but I bet it's a bug, cuz sometimes (rarely) it does work, but most of the time, no.

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

In Jerboa you just have to click the link icon and it takes you to the context, just like it was on reddit

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sometimes, yes, most of the time, no. It just takes me to that thread/post, that's it, not the actual reply/comment.

Yeah, that one, the chain.
