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
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

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.
I’d love an option to load top-level comments only by default.
wow! that looks really nice! thanks
nice, but looks too flat imo. I rather all black or have some more thickness.
I added a monochrome mode
oh wow, I live that design!
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.
+1 for Relay. Great UX
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. :(
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.
Yup only Reddit app I’ve consistently used for years. None of the others were quite the same
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
[Edit] ok I was blind, there is already an option for that in the settings called “show action bar by default for comments” not sure, if this came with .33 or not but I’m happy now :D
Looks good!
One suggestion:
Can you make an option to hide the controls for comments (up/downvote, permalink and so on…) and make them only pop up when I press on the comment?
When reading the comments of a post, the controls take away a lot of screen space. I don’t want to interact with very comment, so hiding the controls would declutter the comment section imho
Example of what I mean in Sync for reddit:
If you long tap the comment, it hides the buttons.
But I agree that it should be hidden by default. And swap the long tap and short tap behavior.
Thanks! What version are you using? I’m on 0.0.32 and long tapping (or short tapping for that matter) just hides the whole comment
I’m on 0.0.33 and long tapping works
Interesting! I’m using the f-droid version which only has 32 right now. Does play store have 33?
[Edit] ok nevermind, had to refresh the package sources on f droid and got .33
I get the same long press behaviour as you guys now. Wish it would affect the whole thread at least and not just a single comment. Kinda useless right now I feel
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.
I feel stupid. I can’t for the life of me figue out how to reply to replies. (Edit: reply to replies in the inbox, it’s not changed in the wild)
Other than that, everything looks good 👍
Edit³: issue closed, I would ask for more clear indication of the feature than (i think this is it) “comment action bar interaction improvements”. I know the changelog needs to be succinct and must avoid excessive verbosity, but it took a while to figure out that long pressing in the username/vote counter bar reveals the interactions. Also an option to have them revealed at all times would be appreciated.
Thanks for the update, can we get a feature to change default setting for home page like “Hot” instead of “Active” and “All” instead of “Local”?
You can already do that! Go into settings, your profile settings, and there are options there for default sorting :)
Edit: huh nvm, it seems like I’m able to see them from Jerboa but can only change em from the webpage.
The fact you can use Android password manager is already a huge improvement.
