    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 😄

        (I had Lemmy via the Playstore first, the uninstalled it and installed it via the apk obtainium)

    Is there any “About Jerboa” in the app to see what version you are running?

    Nevermind! Found it. Wasn’t expecting it to be under Settings…

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    This app is starting to look pretty awesome! There’s a feature I really want from Infinity for Reddit which is swiping between posts. Can that be implemented?

      “New users complain about discoverability, so we doubled the search functionality!”

      ~ Jerboa devs probably

      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?

        I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s completely different software, but the api is different to lemmy.
