Thanks for all the hard work! Jerboa is better in alpha than the official Reddit app ever was (or likely will be).
Its no probs. This one was all volunteer contributions by skilled android developers who just want to make the fediverse better. I’m extremely grateful to all of them.
a few days i use jerboa daily : it’s not perfect but i can deal with all the restrictions
But i really miss an option to make all post as ‘read’ with a single button Just a suggestion for the next release. Thank you for your great work
Open up an issue on the github if there isn’t one already if you would.
Really appreciate the fast feedback and uptake from you & twizmwazin (I’m coming back to my topbar MR have it working somewhat now with the full app on my phone wifi paired or in the virtual device - has been a fun experience seeing the end to end Android dev setup for the first time after building software for 20 years!)
that first time committer list is fire!
Yeah, the number of skilled android devs contributing now is unreal. We’re gonna loop past A LOT of reddit apps in two weeks at this rate.
The in-app image viewer is such a welcome feature!
thank you all for your hard work and contributions to making our experience on Lemmy so niceI’m not even joking when I say that this app, despite being in alpha, is a more pleasant experience than the official Reddit app.
- Jerboa has not begged me to turn on notifications
- Jerboa has not yelled at me for taking a screenshot or begged me to send it as a link to the site instead
- Jerboa has not warned me that I am “low on coins”
- Jerboa has not tried to make me create an NFT avatar
- Jerboa contains more formatting options in comments than the Reddit app (!)
- Jerboa is smart enough to autopopulate the link title when I highlight text to be converted to a link. Reddit app still lacks this feature (!)
It is extremely impressive how much money these large tech companies throw at an app and it turns out to be shitty as fuck. I wonder what bullshit features they pack in to make it like that.
a considerable amount of code is used for “telemetry” and tracking.
This app is like… a soft fluffy blanket. Love it.
It’s amazing what devs can accomplish when they don’t have a bunch of greedy MBAs breathing down their necks
That decision to lay a solid foundation for an Android app really bearing fruit right now. Thanks for all the hard work and thanks to all the new contributors.
I’ve been incredibly impressed at how fast the Jerboa team is working to catch up with the influx of new users and issues. Massive thanks for all the work getting done!
Much easier to collapse comments now. Thanks!
I actually hate it, I keep doing it by accident.
Yeah, in Boost, I used a long press to hide comment, it was harder to do accidentally.

I wish it only hid the children comments, like Relay does, but this is better than it was.
There’s a toggle for that in the settings.
You have to check “Show content for collapsed comments”. The default is actually Apollo/ Alien Blue style. Also I would recommend unchecking “show action bar for comments” so the vote buttons are hidden until the comment is long pressed.
Hmm, I don’t see that setting…
Thanks to everyone who has opened issues or submitted PRs! 14 new contributors this round!
How long does FDroid usually take to show the update?
F-droid can be like a week, but izzyondroid should take less than a day.
I don’t have patience, I just grabbed the apk from the github page…
Same, I did have to remove the older version installed via f-droid before installation of the apk from GitHub would succeed though. That was when I updated from 0.0.31 to 0.0.32. Updating to 0.0.33 then worked without uninstalling anything. Liking it so far!

Thanks for all your and contributors hard work. I’ve signed up for your Patreon and hope to see this platform flourish.
This is great. Just installed and the image viewer is great along with the fonts being consistent.

Pull request is open.
Fantastic - thanks for your contribution!
Could you please explain this to me? I have no idea what you’re talking about
Apps on Android 13 can support dynamic icons that adapt their background color based on the Monet coloring scheme.
This means if I set a blue wallpaper, all my apps become uniform with a white logo and blue background. Apps that do not support this immediately become an eye sore, as you get a perfectly uniform screen… And suddenly that bright red Netflix logo, for instance.
Where is this setting?
Are you asking about Jerboa or Android in general? It depends on your vendor’s Android version and skin. For Samsung devices, it’s found within the Color Palette options in the Settings app. On Realme and Oppo devices, it’s a beta feature in the home screen customization tab.
I was looking for Samsung - thank you! Unfortunately it appears that a large percentage of my apps on my home screen don’t support it, so it looks pretty funky.
Great update! Thanks!
Only thing missing for now is the ability to sort comments in posts (as in new/popular/best,etc) like in the browser version, which has been sorely missing for the main community of one of my instances. Any info on when is that going to be implemented?
I’m so glad that white flash you used to get when switcing tabs is gone.
That’s weird, still happens for when switching to basically anything. Like starting this comment for example!
Could it have something to do with your phone being set to light/dark mode? I’m not seeing the white flash.
Are you sure you’re on the latest version (0.0.33)? Maybe it wasn’t updated yet. You can go to the play store and check.
I get it from f-droid rather than the play store and I did see the 0.0.33-alpha changelog on update earlier today so I would have expected to be on that version. Having said that the “What’s new” link still says 0.0.32 which could be just a bad processing of the version number but maybe the f-droid version isn’t right. Not sure. Still getting th flashes basically all the time.
expired
Should I raise an issue to resolve?
expired
This resolved for me yesterday I finally got the 0.0.33-alpha release. I understand there’s sort of an in-built delay on F-Droid so maybe I got caught by that.
The user experience is great for me. Terrific app even in alpha.
Oh wow it’s looking so much more polished and that annoying white flash is gone.
Yay. Good job guys.
