What do you guys think?
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!
I’m going to miss sync. I bought pro in January of 2014.
Now that’s sexy. Made me forget about the porn subreddits that I left behind
IDK if this is possible, but can the downvote button be removed or hidden if I’m part of a community that disables downvotes? I’m afraid that every time I misclick it the admins are gonna boot me for being a negative nancy.
This was fixed in this PR: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/390, it should be available in the next app update
I think that setting works on a per instance basis. No need to worry.
Great work devs
Thank you :) I’m a third party but I’ll try to get my changes added to the official app
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. :(
+1 for Relay. Great UX
Yup only Reddit app I’ve consistently used for years. None of the others were quite the same
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.
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.
nice, but looks too flat imo. I rather all black or have some more thickness.
I added a monochrome mode
can i please filter out image posts i think memes are extremely annoying
You could block the meme subs I guess.
if this place is anything like le reddit then thay will not work because they will be almost everywhere
deleted by creator
If you really really don’t like memes, make your own frontpage without the memes. Browse the meme page every now and then to discover new communities.
Works really well. My only complaint is when trying to collapse a comment tree if I accidentally tap a user’s name instead then swipe to go back all the comment trees I’ve collapsed are no longer collapsed.
[edit]
Replyinf to a comment also uncollapses all collapsed comments.
yep, same issue with me.
We’ll likely add an option soon to turn off small links (like inline user names and community names) so you won’t be taken to the user’s profile in the first place if you accidentally tap it.
Could you use a long tap for opening names/links
Yeah, though long tap is already used for toggling the action bar for comments, so you’d end up with a similar issue of using to interact with small links and getting the wrong result sometimes. So probably a user setting to turn the small links on/off entirely would be safest.
The fact you can use Android password manager is already a huge improvement.
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.
Jerboa could definitely benefit from an in-app browser so images and links don’t push to other apps.
They just added a native image viewer, I imagine this is not too far away.
In the meantime, you could use ImgurViewer. Setting it as a default app makes it work pretty seamlessly.
edit: didn’t realise I’d linked the Spanish page, oops lol
Thank you so much for this!
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’d love an option to load top-level comments only by default.
It looks so much better! I am looking forward to the future of the app!
This may be a stupid question but does Jerboa support other instances or just Lemmy.ml? I’m on Lemmy.world.
Edit: It does. I just needed to open the sidebar, click on “Anonymous” and it brought up the login dialog where I could select my instance.
It does. I’m at beehaw, currently using the app, and I leave the setting at federated so I can see the content across all instances.
It works for most, if not all Lemmy instances. When you set up your account you tell it what instance your account is on. For me that’s beehaw
