Looks much cleaner, love the magnifying glass instead of the three lines.
Noticed that the "Saved" tab also says "Search" though...

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.

"search"
... "also search" π€£
"Yo dawg, I heard you like to search"
Came here to say this
The speed at which this app is being updated - and with quality updates - is insane. Keep up the good work everybody!
Lets keep it going! Until june 30 we will be ready for mass adoption haha
Ya'll are kickin ass with the updates! It's literally getting better each day. I love watching the progress. History in the making right here.
The last few days have been incredible with the amount of contributions pouring in. We had 13 first-time contributors in just 3 days, and the release before that was 14 contributors.
Is there any "About Jerboa" in the app to see what version you are running?
The bottom bar is much improved but it says search twice, the right one should be saved
New users complain about discoverability, so we doubled the search functionality! ~ Jerboa devs probably
Can't search comments for text (ala boost for Reddit) so:
- Login in for the first time is confusing. Make profile take you to the login screen.
- Make the "need to login first" Pop Up (can't remember exacr wording" act as a link when you tap on it, so you can go to the login screen.
Absolutely. I was so confused as to how to login when I first opened the app. I literally had to do Google search to figure out how.
Where can we request kbin support?
Kbin is completely different software. You'll have to ask its creators to make an app for it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but once kbin is federating properly shouldn't it be possible to view and interact with the content from Kbin? Or is there a technical limitation for that on the app?
Yes you'll be able to subscribe to their magazines which would be seen as communities on lemmy and people on mastodon.
The api which apps like jerboa etc. speak to won't be compatible out the box however.
I wouldn't go as far to say it's completely different software, but the api is different to lemmy.
I don't think kbin is much of a priority at the moment since kbin isn't a Lemmy instance.
Hot damn!! That one mighty fine update since the previous one.
Which was like 3 days ago π
Hey!
I want to thank every contributor and developer for working on this app and to bring so many updates in such a short amount of time. :)
Got a quick question though: if I have Jerboa installed via the playstore, is it possible to update it with the apk? Or would I need to deinstall the app and install it fresh?
In case anyone reads this and asks the same question:
I just deleted the app on my phone and installed via the apk. Works fine now! I had some trouble signing back onto my account, but I guess that was because of high traffic on my instance
I can recommend the app obtainium to keep custom apk up to date via linking it with a GitHub URL!
Obtainium gave me a notification that a new release had been made on GitHub and with 1 click it updated the all on my phone to the newer version π
(I had Lemmy via the Playstore first, the uninstalled it and installed it via the apk obtainium)
Legend, thanks for suggesting this.
Legend, I'm gunna give this a go
Loooove this update. The bottom navigation bar is much improved, and the new icon is superb, now I can proudly let Jerboa live in my homescreen.
The speed at which this app is being updated - and with quality updates - is insane. Keep up the good work everybody!
I used some images found on the web to make shortcuts, and Nova Launcher was nice enough to round the edges.
Magnifying glass instead of three lines was very much needed, thank you!
I didn't see it mentioned in the changelog, but they also added more instance links to the Android Open Links By Default section.
Settings - Apps - Jerboa - Open by Default, click Add Link button, checkmark the new entries.
Inbox Replies working!
Do I need to deinstall from the Play Store in order to run the newest version? The app won't update when I try to install the APK from github.
How long would it generally take for the app to get updated in the Play Store? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm not very experienced with APK's.
I think it's about one day for the app to arrive in the Play Store.
It's already updated in the playstore!
Good news - I'm not seeing it yet (UK) but hopefully it won't be long.

Are you working on a fix for community links not working?
Post item thumbnail opens comments instead of pic/link
Edit: not consistent. Sometimes works normally
I think there's an empty bar above the keyboard when searching something.
Liking this app more & more with each update, thank you allππΌ
Maybe I'm (again) overlooking something, but where is the "button row" below messages? I can't interact at all with messages, just read them and tap the "mark all as read" button.
Can the UI elements be made "tighter"? Example, hide the upvote/downvote and all other icons till the user long presses on a comment. Most lf the times people want to view the thread. That way, we don't have to scroll as much.
It would be nice to be able to see images fullsceen. Particularly, those posted the the replies.
Not seeing it in either Play Store or F-Droid yet
Download apk straight from github
This update is amazing! Thank you so much for putting your efforts to make this app better.
How do i search for posts? Just upgraded to the new alpha with a big search button but just shows the communities I'm subbed to.
Try typing your query in the search field...
