Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

A few feature Ideas (feddit.de)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I would appreciate a option to unblur all images (its kinda annoying sometimes)

A nsfw switch would be useful (like show/hide nsfw like in Boost for Reddit for example)

Customizable UI would be cool (ad/remove Buttons from the bottom bar and Posts)

Open pictures in app (and a download button)

Ideas for lemmy in general

User and Post Flairs

Custom feeds

Polls maybe?

Anyway, for such a small app its alright working great and looks nice. (ᗒᴗᗕ)

A few more that I've been thinking about:

If you do implement a NSFW toggle, make the NSFW and NSFL toggles separate. One of my big issues with reddit is you can't enable porn without also enabling the kind of stuff that makes you want to quit reddit.

A way to exit from a post, the same as the back button, by swiping right. Like how infinity does it.

A button to suggest features or bugs to either the instance or devs.

More documentation for various things. In particular I'm curious if it's possible to run an instance without opening any ports on your router? Maybe using swag or tailscale-funnel?

That's the smartest thing that anyone has ever said.

I agree with all your points. That's the one that spoke to me the most.

Does lemmy even have a specific NSFL tag? The whole separating out NSFL and NSFW content been talked about on reddit since the beginning of the site. But I don't think any site would do so, because that acknowledges that NSFL stuff is on the site and that could be legally messy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

While I understand how it could cause issues if lemme were on the stock market or were a corporate entity, that's not the case. Even if such things applied, which laws apply? The laws of the country the instance is hosted in? Why would the devs be affected by that? And I'm fairly sure most laws don't regulate nsfl content besides age filters, and they do so way less strictly than NSFW stuff too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't have to be public for issues like that to be a problem. Yeah maybe I was wrong to say "legally" specifically (but yes you probably don't want to host that kind of instance in a country/state were that is illegal). The last thing lemmy needs to do is get bad publicity on the major outlets or even get on the bad side of telecoms and get denied access like liveleak.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The instances themselves would be liable, so the hosters. If they sit in a country with basically no rules it can be here, also lemmy isn't just one Domain so super hard to block, and then the instances can just rename themselves...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

NSFW and NSFL are features that Lemmy would have to implement first not Jerboa

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

New to Jerboa, so far really clean though.

  • Hide comment actions & toggle visibility w/ long-press

  • Swipe to go back

  • Support incognito Gboard & Chrome tabs

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Coming from Relay for Reddit everything feels fairly familiar but I'm really missing swipe to go back.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Swipe to go back and hiding the bottom bar when scrolling.

Also a share button.

Imma miss relay

Google is bad... Hmkay

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

I think themes mimicking popular third party reddit apps would be very nice, I use RIF for reddit, really sad it has to go :c

[–] imaqtpie 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Really love the app so far. I would like to see a feature to save or discard comment drafts, like on boost. I tend to write long comments and having the ability to save a draft is quite nice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Post preview would be good as well. I'll explain how it works on Relay.

As I type this the top half of the screen is your comment that I am replying to, as soon as I type any formatting, e.g. this, it changes to preview what my comment will look like. I can swipe right on it to return back to your comment I'm replying to and left to view the comment preview. Note that if I don't add any formatting I can still swipe left on your comment to preview my post.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah the ability to minimize long threads either through a long press or via a carrot icon would be preferable

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I think that's already a feature. If I press and hold on a comment it gets minimized.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Press and hold to the right of the username

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't have to hold, just tap

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just tried and it didn't work with just tapping for me. Holding worked though. 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tapping works for me, holding not. We're all using Jerboa, right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yup, Jerboa. Mine is from F-Droid. Is yours from Google Play?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

F-Droid is outdated.
Last i checked F-Droid had 0.0.29 whereas the most recent version was 0.0.32 or something.

Edit: checked again and an update to 0.0.31 is available!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm already on 0.0.31

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, version 0.0.32

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ah that's it. Downloaded it from the IzzyOnDroid repo and now tapping works.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'd love an option to change the font comments are shown in. I really prefer reading with a serif font.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Would really love some more customization. Hiding multiple read posts with a button was one of my favorite things with Boost. I miss it lol.

Also maybe an optional internal browser? Not everyone wants to have an internal one and some prefer the external, but i do like having an internal one for most things.
