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.

Is anyone having issues with nested replies not showing up as nested? (lemmy.rollenspiel.monster)

The title. Basically, when I look at the replies (notifications) and I tap to see where that reply is, the nest comment sort is reverse ๐Ÿคจ, and in some cases, not present at all (it shows up as a new comment in the post, but in fact it's a reply to my comment).

If you just look at that post and comments in "normal mode", everything's fine, no reverse nested order of comments. I've noticed this problem only shows up when viewing replies, but only if you follow (tap) on the links from Notifications.

EDIT: To everyone reading this, this is not a Jerboa bug, it's a backend bug (BE). Instances that have BE version 0.18.4 don't have this bug... so, we have to bug our admins to update the BE.

Yeah I've been seeing the "reversed" comments as well. It shows only when I click a link to a comment which is deeper down a comment chain (eg. Clicking a comment from my profile and looking at the replies)

Edit: lemmy.ca got updated and it's back to normal now.

It's a BE (backend) bug. Our instance admins need to update the BE to version 0.18.4.

I'm seeing the same bug, and I don't see a github issue for it. Wanna create one?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No need to create an issue, it's a BE (backend) bug, fixed in 0.18.4, but our instance admins haven't update to the latest BE version ๐Ÿคท.

Got it, thank you!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'll create one ๐Ÿ‘. Just need more confirmations, a few more replies should do it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I appreciate your commitment to informing folks about the bug being with lemmy once you learned the details :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, and it's super annoying.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's a BE (backend) bug, so it's not Jerboa related. Our instance admins have to update the BE to 0.18.4.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Which Jerboa and Instance backend versions are you seeing this with? There was an issue in the backend that could produce this behavior but should be fixed in 0.18.4: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3823

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

0.0.42... that's the version in the About section.

BE of my instance?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, when you open the homepage of your instance in a browser and scroll to the bottom, it should say something like "BE: 0.18.4".

If it says that and you still get this bug, it's a new one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

BE of my instance: 0.18.3.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then ask your instance admin to update to 0.18.4. I don't see this bug using the same Jerboa version on my home instance, which has already updated.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, that should be super easy, since In don't speak any German ๐Ÿ˜’.

Nevertheless, I'll try and see if they reply.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see this with accounts on lemmy.dbzer0.com and lemmy.ml

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's not a Jerboa bug, it's a BE bug, confirmed a few posts below. Lemmy.ml should be on 0.18.4, so should lemmy.dbzer0.com.
