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.

As the title says, if I click on a link to a Lemmy post that was deleted, or can't be found for whatever reason, Jerboa goes back to the start of the feed instead of going back to where I was.

Especially annoying when I've been scrolling for a while. Sorry if it is a known bug, I haven't seen any post about it.

Edit: trying to reproduce it, test

Edit2: this !madeupcommunity@sopuli.xyz lets me go back normally, so I think it's a weird interaction when opening urls in jerboa through URLCheck that makes another instance of it, restarting it. If I find any links that actually break it without this interaction I'll update the post, but until then, consider it a false alarm/special case ;)

Do you remember the post? So that I can reproduce it.

I linked a deleted post on the body of this post, try clicking on it. It should bring up a "couldn't find post" screen and reset Jerboa after going back.

I'll say I also use the app URLCheck to open urls, and my phone uses MIUI OS, in case that's relevant.

Edit: okay I think it might not be jerboa's fault, rather a weird interaction with URLcheck when opening links that aren't handled directly by jerboa.

I think it creates a different instance of the jerboa app or something, resetting it. But I have to do more testing.
