    The speed at which this app is being updated - and with quality updates - is insane. Keep up the good work everybody!

      Kbin is completely different software. You’ll have to ask its creators to make an app for it.

        Correct me if I’m wrong, but once kbin is federating properly shouldn’t it be possible to view and interact with the content from Kbin? Or is there a technical limitation for that on the app?

    Is there any “About Jerboa” in the app to see what version you are running?

    Nevermind! Found it. Wasn’t expecting it to be under Settings…

    Hey!

    I want to thank every contributor and developer for working on this app and to bring so many updates in such a short amount of time. :)

    Got a quick question though: if I have Jerboa installed via the playstore, is it possible to update it with the apk? Or would I need to deinstall the app and install it fresh?

      In case anyone reads this and asks the same question:

      I just deleted the app on my phone and installed via the apk. Works fine now! I had some trouble signing back onto my account, but I guess that was because of high traffic on my instance

        I can recommend the app obtainium to keep custom apk up to date via linking it with a GitHub URL!

        Obtainium gave me a notification that a new release had been made on GitHub and with 1 click it updated the all on my phone to the newer version 😄

        (I had Lemmy via the Playstore first, the uninstalled it and installed it via the apk obtainium)

    Loooove this update. The bottom navigation bar is much improved, and the new icon is superb, now I can proudly let Jerboa live in my homescreen.

    Thank you so much for your work. This app is awesome for the early stages and this update improved functionality massively. I have zero context of how to make suggestions for the app. I mean it in a constructive way. So here it goes.

    1. In your inbox have a way to see the context of that response. Currently, If you click on it, it opens the entire thread and you have to sort through it to find your comment. In large threads that’s a big issue.

    2. Not sure how possible it is to make the functionality to be able to create groups of communities. For example, if there is an aww@lemmy.ml and awwww@lemmy.world and awwwww@sh.itjustworks etc a user can add all them as they find them to a multicatagory they created named awww… consolidating them from a user’s standpoint but still keeping things decentralized.

    3. Make an option for a user to set a default sort/home page. Like clicking home can be set to default to “all” or “subscribed” sorted by “Hot” or “Active”.

    Do I need to deinstall from the Play Store in order to run the newest version? The app won’t update when I try to install the APK from github.

    How long would it generally take for the app to get updated in the Play Store? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m not very experienced with APK’s.

    I didn’t see it mentioned in the changelog, but they also added more instance links to the Android Open Links By Default section.

    Settings - Apps - Jerboa - Open by Default, click Add Link button, checkmark the new entries.

    Can the UI elements be made “tighter”? Example, hide the upvote/downvote and all other icons till the user long presses on a comment. Most lf the times people want to view the thread. That way, we don’t have to scroll as much.
