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.

How to Jump from Inbox Comment to Comment in Post (feddit.de)

As me and many others, you might have encountered the problem, that tapping on a comment in your inbox doesn't get you to the comment and it's context. However, you can actually directly jump from the comments inbox to the correct comment + context in the post.

Check the image. First long press on the upvotes/time on the top right, to have the lower bar expanded. Then press on the chain link button below to directly open the post!

It was hard to find and know unless you already know it. This definitely needs UX improvement. Hence, this post here.

Wow that's amazing! Thanks for finding that

[–] mcpheeandme@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome! This has been puzzling me. Thanks!

[–] withersailor@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

How'd you find that? This is Easter egg level hidden.

First long press on the upvotes/time on the top right, to have the lower bar expanded.

Just FYI, you can long press anywhere on the body of the comment and don't have to specifically on the upvote/time.

Hm... that doesn't work for me :/

Not sure if this is because it was fixed in a newer version. I am using 0.0.34 from the Github repo. What about you? Here's a video in action.

[–] swnt@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting. I have 33 instead of 34 but can't update it via play store 🤔

Oh, hell yeah. Now, how do I open a link to a post on a different instance than mine from within my instance (also without getting sent to my browser)?

[–] swnt@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For me it just works. But maybe it's because I made this Android setting?

[–] Kurt@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Ah okay. Looks like it will only work for certain instances. I don't think I can add any others besides these ones.

If Jerboa can follow comment links from the inbox natively, why does it let Android handle the links everywhere else? Maybe Jerboa could insert a little link button next to every hyperlink so that you can choose whether to open a link with Android or natively with Jerboa.
