Jerboa needs a lot of work. Especially on the UI front.
The thing i haven't worked out yet, is how to get it to open links to lemmy communities by default. For example if I click on a link from community promo it opens in Firefox focus rather than Jeroba. If I search for said community on Jeroba, it usually won't find it.
You can get it to open some links by going to app info, by holding the app on the homesceen. Then default links, you can toggle open support links and add the links available from there
thanks. It lists links to 8 instances. For some reason I couldn't add https://lemmy.world to it though.
Yh it only seems to support those sadly but better some links than no links
I'll give it a try later, but I think Google broke that in the current version of Android unfortunately. I personally have to use "Better Open With" and some odd assortment of settings to get some control back.
Yes! How do you even search for a community in Jerboa?
To search on Jerboa I've been clicking the bookmark bar next to home icon, I can normally find communities this way
Thanks! I actually had somehow missed that.
There's a communities item, but some instances require that somone searched for that community by url (the full url of the community) on the instance main page before searching for the community in Jerboa will work. Be better if the Jerboa community search just scraped some master list or something.
I want to be able to collapse children comments from the parent.
If I'm not mistaken, you can do that by tapping and holding on the top of the parent comment.
Did you try it recently? I think it looks great now.
I'm using it right now, yes. Unless your referring to the alpha, than not yet.
No just the default version. I think it's pretty great, just some things that I would change. But in general, the app really works.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy it exists. Lots of good in this app. There are some key features though that I miss. Specifically the RiF interface for subs search and joining and the sub-grouping feature.
Yup agree, some things can be improved and I'm very convinced it's being worked on. Many people are working together on the app right now to make it become stellar.
