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.

I prefer the old list view design with lines separating each post. Maybe an option to change font weight would be nice.

Oh man, I don't have the alpha, but getting rid of that one would make me consider switching away.

Yeah the posts/comments tabs have smaller fonts which is hard on my eyes, but the rest of the changes look good.

The small font for tabs is a bug, and not intentional design.

Thanks, glad you all are on top of the app!

Now to find something like rtv in the terminal for lemmy...

We'll fix those eventually as part af a larger rework of font sizing. Sounds easy, but android does not make it easy for you to use a base custom font size.

I hear you. I've done a few android apps. No worries, it's just a bit uncomfortable ATM. Android is such a different platform haha.

Can we stop tryna reinvent the wheel and just use a normal upvote/downvote system?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

When the next Lemmy version is released, it'll have much more fine-grained vote display settings. See here.

Can you expand? The comment/post scores UI changes? Dessalines changed the default for that, it a setting with lots of options, but persistence isn't implemented yet so it isn't exposed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

On my app it's now a percentage instead of just numbered arrows.

Like if I had 10 upvotes and one downvote it'll show the total score with a 90% next to it

Great work comrade

I like it, thank you! Can we suppress the overlay seen below?:

It doesn't show when scrolling posts, just when viewing comment sections.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's not intended, what android version do you experience this?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's Android 14; OneUI 6.0

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I manage to reproduce it, I'll fix it by next release.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Thank you :)

Should be good now with this new release, thanks to MV-GH.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Cool, thanks!

Anyone else having issues with strikethrough formatting? It still shows the tildes and the word gets smaller and lower.

Like ~~this~~

Yes it's a problem, mainly due to us not finding good sample plugins for our android markdown library, markwon, in the same way there are great plugins for the js equivalent, markdown-it.
