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.

Hi, While Jerboa is improving with quite a pace, I've a few suggestions

  • Grey out title of visited thread immediately.
    • Right now, unless one refreshes, title is displayed normally, making it difficult to distinguish between visited and non-visited posts
  • Open links within the app
    • Right now all the links, videos, etc. are opened outside of the app which takes the focus away. It's not ideal
  • Multi functional FAB button
    • Right now FAB button only adds new post, but it can be used to refresh the feed, remove the read posts, etc.
  • Swipe right go hide the current post and go back to feed

A dedicated Button to hide/unhide read posts would be nice too

This is my No. 1 I'm looking forward to getting. I'm a scroller and it's so nice to be able to hide everything I've seen and get to a sea of new stuff. The "read on scroll" is a close second but I don't mind interacting with stuff to mark it read. Cool username by the way haha.

Awesome suggestions!

Adding a "Random Community" button that just takes you to a random Community in any instance would be nice too. I used this a lot on Sync to discover smaller subreddits.

Also, the option to choose when/how posts are marked as "read". For example, it can be after you open the post, or interact with it in any way (upvote, preview...), or just scroll past it.

Is really like a swipe to hide on post cards.

Yes, a random community button/link would be really nice!

And PLEASE: add an Option to

  1. collapse whole comment threads (its extremly annoying having to scroll through all answers to a comment to get to the next comment especially when searching a comment you want to answer to in a 700 comment thread)

  2. Given an option to show context in the "comment replies" tab in the messages section. (When someone answers "you are wrong" to one of my comments I want to see my comment he replied to (and the other comments around it, so I can answer appropriately without doing 1.)

(3. Sometimes the post/comment function behaves weird, but I don't know if this is only on my device: when I change the cursor position, it sometimes keeps typing on the position where the cursor was bevor I dragged it somewhere else, and in the "next post" screen added pictures disappear, when I choose a community and I need to hit the "add picture" button again and add the picture again)

NSFW content needs to be more blurred. The way it is now it's easy to tell what's hiding behind the blurring in Jerboa. NSFW content in Reddit wasn't all sexual. It was news stories or possibly triggering images in the mix. It's why I turned it on in Jerboa. But I may need to turn it off if the images are easy to decipher behind the masking. Going to All instances and New content shouldn't be nerve-wracking.
