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.
Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever. Your donations directly support full-time development of the project.

Heard from folks the app crashes the instant they opened it.
Reuses comments section from previous posts.
Can't differentiate search by content vs search for communities,
Can't just paste a community URL, or paste a post URL into search
Weevils.
Sometimes when I look at a thread, it will show the comments from the previous thread I viewed.
There's also another error I'm getting: Value of type java.lang.String cannot be conver...
This usually ends up in the wrong comments bug, no comments, no post, can't make comment, etc.
Yeah, it looks like Jerboa will reuse the comment section, so you'll see the previous thread's comments until the new ones load.
I've had a bug were I try to scroll back up and it scrolls itself back down, so you never get anywhere - even though it looks like it's moving.
For the ppl experiencing the typing bug, can you report it on GitHub along with a video of it. It hasn't been reported yet and I can't reproduce it.
I made a screen recording and uploaded it to Streamable, then added the link to a big report I added on Github. Hopefully that helps, I have never made a big report before lol. Link is here -> (https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/748)
Thanks everyone for these reports! Please don't hesitate to report them to GitHub so the devs see them and prioritize them.
I'll try to sift through these and get them added, but I'm probably not going to get everything.
I'm also seeing that typing bug.
Can you provide more info on the bug? Like you just type a message, and then mash backspace and it deletes the wrong thing?
I'm not seeing that on my device. But if it's reproducible, I can file a bug for it.
Btw, what version of Android do you have? And what version of the app?
In my case, I have the typing bug. I'm on Android 9 and am using app version 0.0.33 (the most recent update from f droid)
And yes, basically, say I'm typing a comment like this one. I'm writing a sentence and make a typo in a word. If I start repeatedly hitting backspace to go back and fix the typo, it will start removing the spaces before words.
It does it in order, working backwards from the last word you typed.
Not a bug specifically but the lack of pull to refresh, especially after timeouts, is super frustrating.
Also, how any submitted content is lost if an error happens after posting, eg a timeout or invalid language. It should be saved as a draft.
There's already a feature request for a drafts feature, and it's reasonably high priority, so it'll probably get worked on soonish.
And pull to refresh works for me. Try updating.
Cool, thanks.
Weird that pull to refresh is working, I'm on the latest version and it isn't for me. I'll see if I can work out any consistent repo steps.
Random crashes; opening a community shows the last community I viewed for a moment; can't jump to comment replied via inbox; viewing comments that were in the inbox only sometimes clears them; inbox count usually does not match the number of messages present; some comments are not posted, with inscrutable technical errors popping up in unhelpful toasts.
I have the same problem, and it makes commenting on the app aggravating, and posting on the app virtually impossible.
can't follow links in comments to communities and can only join them after finding a post and clicking the link.
also searching communities doesn't seem to work.
What android version and phone do you have?
Fairphone 3 with /e/OS on Android 9
The app doesnt seem to like images in the comments very much. When I try to scroll while one of those images is on the screen, the comment section jumps up and down.
I also have the typing bug, so it's not specific to you. In fact, it happened now, while writing this comment.
What device and android version are you using? Do you have a custom version of android installed by any chance?
I have it too, I use LineageOS and Version 0.0.34
If i remove the check to the checkbox "view read posts" it works, i can't see the post that i already read. Unfortunately this includes also the post that i created or commented. I need to re-check that checkbox to br able to see those.
