On iOS: tap the share button in browser => add to home screen
On Android: tap the 3 dot menu button in browser => tap “install” or “add to home screen”
Until the websocket issue is fixed, I’m gonna stick with Jebora
Progressive? Conservatives disliked that
Hey I wanted to tell that joke
I use jerboa for lemmy. Not sure how different it is though. Never used that webapp
I find that jerboa has some missing features that are there in the web app. Things like being able to go from a comment in your inbox to that same comment in context in it’s thread.
Mybe I will try to add that feature to the app tomorrow if no other contributer hasn’t already. Development of the app seems to move quite fast and a bunch of people are adding stuff. But I agree, there are still a lot of smaller and bigger things missing or wonky.
Nice to hear that it’s active
Actually I ran a current development build of the app which seems to have the feature already. There is a small chain icon next to the vote arrows which jumps to the comment and it’s parent and allows to load even more context. So maybe it will ship in the next app update when release :)
Oh yeah, you’re right. The main version has it too.
Have you written for the app before? How did yiu find it? I took a very quick look and plan to try working on it at some point but I don’t know kotlin at all. It’ll take some spinup for me.
Yes, I made two small contributions till now. The maintainers seem pretty responsive when new PRs are opened and open to the stuff people are adding. Did not have a thorough look through all the code of the app yet but what I have seen seems structured quite good and I look forward to working more with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Am a Java Dev for work, quite some time since I last worked on an Android App but making small contributions first should get you started
I’ll give it a shot as I have time. I’m primarily a Python developer with experience in Go, C, and a smattering of other languages. Should be easy enough to learn enough to contribute some small PRs.
Think so too, good luck 👍
It does have that feature already, you need to press the link button in the inbox below the comment.
That works for you in the app? It works for me on the web but not in the app.
I’ve been doing it in the Jerboa app.
Edit: I lied, it’s not directly from my inbox. NVM. I go to the commenter’s comments and go to the context from there. The comment is usually first or second on their list, so it’s not hard to find. But yeah, extra steps. I wish I could reply from the inbox in general.
Someone else pointed out that the dev version of the app may have this feature now, so this feature should be coming pretty soon!
Thanks! Right now I am willing to give devs all kinds of slack on what features they offer. They have their hands full with the massive growth the last couple weeks, and I am perfectly happy waiting.
So it’s not just me? Thank God, it’s so annoying.
Just encountered that for the first time with this comment lmao
I’m primarily using the pwa for now. Jerboa has a nicer UI in most cases, but pwa is a lot smoother, less buggy, and external links open up a lot faster. Also, jerboa has a bunch of minor annyonaces, like trying to select text and it keeps minimizing the comment instead, or how it opens Lemmy links in an external browser.
A bit more devtime and I’ll switch to it, especially if they add a feature to group multiple communities in a single entry.
Been trying the place and just have jerboa a shot in comparison. The actual app is better by miles. So much faster than the browser.
Clean animations, simple tap to collapse threads
App > browser for now
Agreed. I’m liking Jerboa quite a bit so far. Feels similar to Boost a long while back.
tap to collapse threads
I haven’t been able to collapse threads on Jerboa, how do you do that? Am I missing something?
At first it wasn’t doing it for me but since last night it has
Tapping anywhere in the text of a comment seems to do it, holding like i would back on Boost for Reddit simply removes the extra toolbar at the bottom, and the title area did nothing
Sometimes it just doesn’t but i find restarting the app fixes that, though i usually just move on to the next topic when that happens
Maybe the F-Droid version is just behind, I can’t get that to work. Thanks for the input!
I am on the FDroid and have had this feature since I installed
F-Droid is always behind. Get it from the GitHub
Using Mlem myself and with the recent update it’s much more stable and definitely more responsive than the web app. Really scratches that Apollo-shaped itch.
I just wish it used screen real-estate better. I’m using it right now. I wish it could replace RIF.
Jerboa is pretty much close enough to rif for me.
Be sure to enable “list” view for posts
I’m using list view but it still feels a bit crowded.
Where do I find this setting?
Settings -> Look and feel -> Post View
First thing I did. Makes it a little more app like. Still can’t wait to see what clients get released in the next few months.
The WPA’s layout is not crazy good on mobile, but at least I got some real estate.
Now, how can I contribute? I’m a frontend web developer.
Join the Lemmy development room on Matrix https://matrix.to/#/#lemmydev:matrix.org
Makes it very difficult to open posts in a new tab though, I scroll and open like 6 posts to go through afterwards.
This should be pinned to the top of every instance lol
I love that this is possible and I gave it a go but for some reason scrolling in the browser is really hard to do, it keeps adding new posts while I’m scrolling and moves everything around making it near impossible to actually read, I thought it might be just loading still but it doesn’t ever come to a stop, not sure if this is just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This happens to me on desktop Firefox also. Even if I’ve sorted by Top, new posts with 1 upvote will get inserted at the top of the feed repeatedly.
Same
as far as I know this is a bug that has been identified, although I don’t know if there’s a fix for it yet
I am on the IOS web app and it still happens to me. I’ve had better experience on my browser.
Already did that for Lemmy and Mastodon. I have more problems with Jerboa then benefits.
What problems?
The most annoying is that the space between two words got deleted, if i use backspace, to correct an word i was writing on.
For example what happens to a sentence, when i use backspace:
“This is for examol” (backspace) “This is forexamo” (backspace) “This isforexam” (backspace) “Thisisforexa”
This is fucking annoying.
I haven’t had anything like this… maybe you should try a different keyboard?
Interesting. I don’t get that at all (just tried it).
The not being able to click on a message in the inbox and get to the comment in context is a big one for me.
Apparently the latest build on github has fixed this!
Yeah, that’s the main issue I have with it, but it’s generally pretty good and I’m using it anyway.
Also: No option to open links in real browser rather than the web view thing No notifications for replies (not that important)
I kept getting some json error with Jerboa. It’d just show a dark screen. I didn’t try to troubleshoot at all, just used the mobile site.
Both have native apps on Android and iOS that are better imo.
Yes even KBin has an Android app now too.
What’s the KBin app called? Last I checked, the iOS Lemmy app is in beta, and the only Android app for Lemmy is Jerboa.
deleted by creator
Someone mentioned it elsewhere in this thread. I haven’t tried it so I am not sure.
Link to the native iOS kbin app that’s outside of TestFlight? Same for lemmy?
Did that with lemmy, but at least in my case it just happens too often that I get an infinite loading circle when switching threads and then I have to reload the entire page, which isn’t possible when not in the real browser. Even closing the web app and reopening them doesn’t help but once I open the page in Safari it works just fine.
Mlem for iOS just got an update which gives us the compact thread style I much prefer over the current web app look but it seems like I can’t edit comments there and I also don’t see any notifications so there’s still a lot of work to be done before it becomes an option.
And kbin I just don’t use on the phone at all as long as we can’t collapse comment chains.
Just FYI you can do this in the new version of MacOS (Sonoma) and add sites to your dock which is quite nice.
You can do the same on windows! I forgot it was a feature tbh its weird not having the top of my browser lol
didnt know it was a thing on windows, how do you do it?
Thank you just did this with Chrome on Android! Easier than having to open a new chrome tab every time for sure
Still a better user experience than the official Reddit app.
