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.

Not going back to Jerboa unless the basic feature of searching contents other than just communities is implemented. I find this fundamental feature sorely lacking in Jerboa while every other app around there have this.

Kind of surprising, because this is pretty basic feature, and has been open for over two years.

Getting "Posts failed loading, retry" button after scrolling to the end of Subscribed feed (does not matter if Scaled, New).
Verified across multiple instances.
E: And the button does nothing, specifically, after clicking it it vanishes and comes back (the loading bar does not appear). No problem in All.

k, just did a release with this fixed, thanks to mv-gh for this one.

Was just checking the issue out and seeing MV-GH had a fix ready, awesome work and thanks for the quick release!

Is there a way to revert to an old version of the app? This issue is annoying enough for me that I'm now temporarily on Voyager. I don't hate it, but I'd rather be on Jerboa.

If you installed through f-droid, you can install older versions.

Update plugin com.android.test to v8.5.0 by @renovate in #1561

Was it properly checked for backdoor injections?

Is there a reason you're suspicious about that particular dependency, or are you just asking about dependencies in general?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I'm worried about that one specifically. Dependencies in general can be suspicious if they come from untrusted sources but in that case it's suspicious by being related to testing (like the xz thing was) that shouldn't even be in a released app anyways.

It's not included in the final build artifact. It's a Gradle plugin.

If you have a security concern you should raise this with Google using a minimal working example to demonstrate yourself.

Do you have a genuine concern and can you provide a working example of the attack surface in a repository that you can share?

What's the context there? We update dependencies very frequently.

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

The context is the name of the dependency and its very questionable purpose.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I have no idea what this means. Why is the android testing dependency is less secure than all the other android deps we've updated?
