What do you guys think?
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.
Jerboa could definitely benefit from an in-app browser so images and links don’t push to other apps.
Seconded.
Ha! I was confused for a moment until I realized the same thing.
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
Thanks for the tip, this works great for me!
Glad to be able to help!
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks I’ma suss
It even opened in my reddit app by default lol
Yea this would absolutely be awesome. Definitely one of the top requests for me.
They just added a native image viewer, I imagine this is not too far away.
It would be nice to have the app highlight new comments when you come back to the post, like in Boost
Can you make an issue on github? This is something we should definitely implement.
Done 👍
Since you are asking, here’s my primary 2 complaints about the UI so far that so far seem unaddressed:
- not having placeholders for community icons and user avatars is jarring. This pushes the text around which makes each card slightly missaligned with the last depending on if there are icons/avatars. This gets tiring to read. It doesn’t need to be fancy. It could be a black box, or even just padding.
- in the same vein, it’s hard to see what post/comment link is in what instance. This is especially important because different moderation rules apply to different instances. Also, celebrate the diversity of federation!
I was thinking about the placeholder icon thing for a while, it’s a big pet peeve of mine too but I’m not sure what to put instead.
We talking about for users or communities? I think a Lemmy mouse or a jerboa would do the trick for now
How about each community having its own theming?
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.
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. :(
+1 for Relay. Great UX
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.
Yup only Reddit app I’ve consistently used for years. None of the others were quite the same
Thanks for the update, can we get a feature to change default setting for home page like “Hot” instead of “Active” and “All” instead of “Local”?
You can already do that! Go into settings, your profile settings, and there are options there for default sorting :)
Edit: huh nvm, it seems like I’m able to see them from Jerboa but can only change em from the webpage.
Yeah have to change them on the instance and then it becomes like that in the app I believe.
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.
Looks awesome, but please add a separate setting to set the font size of the front page and the posts/comments.
The way it works currently, front page font becomes too small when changed in settings.
It would be really nice if the app could keep its scroll position more reliably. It always refreshes if I switch to e.g. messages or open my foldable.

I just want to thank you for putting in the work.
The fact you can use Android password manager is already a huge improvement.
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
Now that’s sexy. Made me forget about the porn subreddits that I left behind
I think it looks great. Can’t wait to see it evolve.
One issue I’m having is images in comments aren’t showing up.
I’m seeing the same, not sure if it’s all images in comments or just that one
I think it looks pretty nice, I think adding the ability to jump to the context of a reply to a comment would be pretty cool as well.
Like seeing the little notification for it in your messages and being able to tap on it to bring you to the context would be nice. I got pretty used to it in BaconReader.
Yes! Sometimes I need to know the context of the thread or the post
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.
