    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.

    I’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.

      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.

    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!

      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.

    Thank you devs, great release.

    Might I add some remarks?

    • The login feature is not really intuitive. When not logged in and pressing on any of the icons below, instead of displaying a “login first” notification, bring the user to the login screen?
    • Possibility to collapse and expand comment threads (as @[email protected] pointed out this already works by touching the comment)
    • When I click on a link and it for example opens an image, allow me to press the Android back button to go back to the discussion. Right now the only option is to press the back arrow hovering over the image.

    If there’s a better place to post these requests let me know and I’ll post it there

      This!

      I started using Jerboa today and the login confused me. Jerboa demands login but I couldn:'t find out how to login first

      I remember Slide for Reddit having similar issues with their UX but their error message is more informative IIRC

      Comment threads are collapsible afaik, just touch and hold onea comment and release again. Admittedly there are no visual hints that this is possible, there a tutorial or something like that might help.

    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?

      F-droid can be like a week, but izzyondroid should take less than a day.

        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!

        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.

            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.

    This is great. Just installed and the image viewer is great along with the fonts being consistent.
