I open Reddit way too often. Today I replaced my Reddit shortcut with Lemmy. Jerboa needs some refining but it'll do for now. Let's give it a go!
Jerboa has made the transition much smoother than I expected. Dark mode, card views and basic collapsing and font adjustment is such a relief.
The mobile browser version is already pretty satisfying though and feels almost like home as a long time RIF user.
I just noticed that I was 2 versions out of date (installed via F-Droid last week) and was annoyed at some usability bugs. The latest version seems nicer so far.
I'm interested in getting involved in development of Jerboa, so hopefully I find a few more annoying things that haven't been fixed yet. Feel free to complain to me to hopefully motivate me to actually fire up Android Studio and get working on it.
Well here you go :-) I can't scroll "Look and feel" settings in Jerboa. It just hovers the labels instead of scrolling down.
Hmm, I had a similar problem earlier with the " settings" for default listing type (wanted to default to only stuff I've subscribed to), and then I reinstalled from Google Play (v0.0.33) and it worked. I'll see if I can reproduce it on the latest code.
The main thing that bothers me right now is that sometimes it forgets I'm signed in when switching apps. I'm going to try reproducing that probably tonight to see if I can at least provide a workaround (e.g. pull to refresh should reconnect or something).
I too got the login issue, I found killing the app works for it to remember my account. I'm on version 0.0.33 too from F-Droid. As for the scrolling issue there is a comment on a GitHub issue mentioning it.
Cool. It looks like there's a jerboa community here: jerboa@lemmy.ml. I joined that one and intend to be a bit more active there as I try to learn how to develop Jerboa.
I've commented once already that I hope the influx of new users helps the development of Jerboa and/or encourages other developers to build on Lemmy.
It would be nice seeing Lemmy is Fun/Boost for Lemmy/Sync for Lemmy clones popping up.
Jerboa has seen huge improvements in the last two weeks alone. I think there's been a lot of traction on that front, and the dev seems particularly receive to feedback.
I personally use RedReader, the dev said he's thinking of adding support for other sites like Lemmy or Tildes, so I'll probably use that if it happens. The more choice the better though.
