Many thanks to @mv-gh for these quick fixes.

Like the title says. There are communities whose purpose is to just repost Reddit posts using bots and they're flooding my front page. I'd like to block it using Jerboa. Is it possible? Or can it be done via the web interface?

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

If you look at the very bottom of the screen shot you can see that the home, search, etc buttons are cut off.

Happy to provide more info to help. I'm on a stock pixel 3a.

I've encountered a small issue with Jerboa that I wanted to see if other people were experiencing. And or if there was a fix for this issue.

Hey there,

I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this behavior where the swipe to navigate back gesture would register twice within the app, taking you back two steps instead of just one.

I'm not sure exactly when this behaviour was introduced, though it persists with today's .72 alpha release. I was to say it came about in the .6X timeframe.

I've not found this reported on the github, though I just wanted to check that this isn't a system specific issue before submitting. #1399 may be relevant as it refers to swipe input sensitivity but I think that's more of a gesture threshold matter than input registering twice in the app.

My app settings are attached in a photo:

and I have a short clip:

Steps to reproduce:

• Using the provided gesture settings in Jerboa
• From the home feed, tap into a community name
• From the community view, tap into a community post
• Swipe left to navigate back to the community view
• Observe two steps back in response to a single input

Not sure if this is user error, a lemmy issue, a jerboa issue, or just inactive communities. A lot of communities I'm subscribed to, with many active members, show no posts more recent than a week or a month. At first I thought this was just a lack of activity, but recently I noticed that a post I had commented on was not visible from the community page (under either hot or new), although I was still getting replies and the post is visible from my comments page.

As a test, I tried posts from /all/, and was quickly able to find one that is visible for me from /all/ but does not appear on its own community page under new - the post on [email protected] about a 271 page document on Vance (about an hour ago).

All I can think is that either a lot of posts are being deleted (but somehow still showing up through other methods), or the community pages on jerboa are not updating even when explicitly told to refresh, either by dragging down from the top or selecting refresh from the community options menu.

Anyone else encountering this problem or know what might be causing it? I've noticed the lack of posts on subscribed communities for a while and always assumed the communities were just inactive (which obviously makes lemmy much less useful for me), but the politics test is making me think it's something else.

Edit: another point of reference, the newest post showing for me on this community (jerboa) is from a week ago, regarding switching language on gboard.

For me, both of those functions open the link in the built-in browser. Is this a common problem?

• Fix subscribed feed paging not working by @MV-GH in #1597

Full Changelog: 0.0.70...0.0.71

I always thought I was seeing too many copies of the same post. Usually chalked it up to cross posting or reposts, but today I just saw the exact same post twice almost back to back, from the same user to the same community on the same instance. Is this a bug? What's going on?

Where's the button to set default comment sorting?

I wasn't 100% sure this was a problem, as I had noticed a lot more people commenting what appeared to be static image responses to comments. But there's this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/16932878 which makes it easy to be sure that in fact they are definitely GIFs, and they don't play when you click on them. It just opens the first frame of the GIF like a static image.

I've noticed with the last 2-3 versions of the app (currently 0.0.69, nice); the app crashes 2/3rds of the time when returning to it from being in the background.

Open the app, switch to another app, switch back a couple min later and it closes then reopens as if you'd just started it for the first time today (losing whatever post you had open).

Curious if others are experiencing this?

I done goofed up. I hit the 'block user' option instead of the 'go to user' option (need glasses) and I can't now find an option to unblock them. Is there one?

Number of up, number of down, and total score next to the heart, that's the perfect way to display that, well done.

I thought something was causing people to double post more recently, but after testing voting on some examples, I'm pretty sure posts are getting duplicated by the app.

Since recently (2-7 days, dunno) my Jerboa crashes when I hit those bars in the corner that let you "sort by...".

Honestly I have no clue how to report such a thing, sorry if I'm messing it up rn. Shoutouts to everyone making this app work!

Since the last release, I find that gifs won't play in Jerboa anymore. For example, this comment just appears as a static image for me, even when I click on it. Do you see the same behavior?

Edit: solved by user merde alors:

did you enable "auto play GIFs" in settings>look&feel ?

Then close and reopen the app and that should fix it.

Fixes a minor bug with showing scores for legacy servers.
