What do you guys think?

    The fact that Jerboa makes me click an Imgur link rather than embedding the Imgur content under this post when I click it feels like a possible area for improvement.

    Since you are asking, here’s my primary 2 complaints about the UI so far that so far seem unaddressed:

    • not having placeholders for community icons and user avatars is jarring. This pushes the text around which makes each card slightly missaligned with the last depending on if there are icons/avatars. This gets tiring to read. It doesn’t need to be fancy. It could be a black box, or even just padding.
    • in the same vein, it’s hard to see what post/comment link is in what instance. This is especially important because different moderation rules apply to different instances. Also, celebrate the diversity of federation!

      How about each community having its own theming?

      I was thinking about the placeholder icon thing for a while, it’s a big pet peeve of mine too but I’m not sure what to put instead.

        We talking about for users or communities? I think a Lemmy mouse or a jerboa would do the trick for now

    It would be nice to have the app highlight new comments when you come back to the post, like in Boost

    Someone’s been looking at Sync for Reddit to get some good ideas 😁

    This is how I will end up staying at Lemmy

      The creator of sync said that he’s considering adapting the app to use Lemmy. Fingers crossed.

        That would be huge for lemmy if the 3rd party reddit apps tried to adapt to lemmy.

        i’m sure that will be a monumental task but here’s to hoping!

    It looks great, thank you very much for your work!

    If you’re looking for inspiration on UI design, you might check out Sync for Reddit while it’s still active. It’s one of the best apps I’ve ever used.

      Relay also has excellent UI. I tried pretty much every Reddit app available on Android and kept coming back to Relay.

        The ability to swipe away posts, or collapse out all the ‘read’ posts was awesome for browsing

          Swiping up to close the link and swiping right to go back to the feed was a game changer. I’m finding Jerboa hard to use without it. :(

        Relay was the only app I could use consistently. I tried all the others. There is a Reddit API proxy that someone was creating for Lemmy that has been linked to /u/DBrady - hopefully he uses it to port his app here too.

    Thanks for the update, can we get a feature to change default setting for home page like “Hot” instead of “Active” and “All” instead of “Local”?

      You can already do that! Go into settings, your profile settings, and there are options there for default sorting :)

      Edit: huh nvm, it seems like I’m only able to see them from Jerboa but can only change em from the webpage.

    Looks awesome, but please add a separate setting to set the font size of the front page and the posts/comments.

    The way it works currently, front page font becomes too small when changed in settings.

    It would be really nice if the app could keep its scroll position more reliably. It always refreshes if I switch to e.g. messages or open my foldable.

    The fact you can use Android password manager is already a huge improvement.

    It’s terrific! Tried it last week but decided to just use the Lemmy website on my phone instead. Now I’m back to Jeroba as my daily driver. Update is excellent. Thank you!

      I still haven’t added my changes to Jerboa yet (I’m a third party), glad Jerboa is improving though.

    Just a note to say thanks for your hard work on making Jerboa, really enjoying using it.

      I don’t think I’d be able to figure out Lemmy without it

      I’m focusing more on UI but I’ll see if that’s possible to implement
