Jerboa is a really good app considering is still Alpha
I agree. There’s definitely work to be done but considering the massive influx I think it’s doing pretty decently okay
Jerboa for lemmy: am I a joke to you?
I like Jerboa in fact I made this post from Jerboa. Just wanted to draw attention to large amount of new third part clients that has been getting announced lately
Jerbora huh? The web interface is kinda clunky so i was hoping
it was constantly crashing for me.
Shout out to jerboa. Very smooth transition from Sync. Suspect with the recent rexodus it’ll only get better.
Yea i can ses the similarities, but i keep trying to swipe on things and it doesnt do anything
Sync for lemmy is coming and ill probably jump back to that, especially if its open source. Else i hope the jerboa folks take some more design cues from the other apps to make the whole ux feel a bjt quicker/easier
Wait sync for lemmy is coming? That’s awesome.
Ha, I come from Infinity and I also keep trying to swipe on stuff out of force of habit. Would love some more options regarding or else other apps to get a hit more variety in the future, but I get this is all still in its infancy.
Am I stupid or am I missing a way to permanently set the “source” to subscribed instead of local? But apart from that it is quite good already.
It’s under Settings->[Username] settings->Default listing type
Thanks
Sadly it stutters quite a bit on my phone. But the all is still in its alpha and maybe I cheaped out a but too much on my phone that I should‘ve.
It stutters on my Pixel 7 so no, it’s just stuttery in general
Same on my Galaxy S22. We need an app that scrolls smoothly at 120fps. Maybe Jerboa will improve over time.

I started using Lemmynade. For an alpha, it’s surprisingly good! Replying to you from it btw.
it’s not on fdroid :<
Also shout out to liftoff. I find the ui very appealing
For those uninformed:
Reddit Sync’s dev is already working on Sync for Lemmy, and Artemis for Lemmy/kbin looks like a spiritual successor to Apollo; will even be on both ios and android
@git Jerboa isn’t terribly bad but I understand why people think it isn’t good.
I’m hoping the Infinity dev makes one for kbin though, would be a great fit
+1 for Infinity for Lemmy.
Infinity and Boost are my favorite Reddit apps.
Infinity dev is not making one. If the API shim works well it’ll get forked by someone (it’s open source) and it will work with Lemmy.
I thought about doing something similar as a labor of love but realized I’ve currently got dozens of projects in the works and would never really have the time. Between that and how shitty a very vocal minority of people can be to developers, I lost interest very quickly.
memmy is going to be ported to android as well
sync looks amazing, I would use it if it was foss.
I have hope for RedReader. This is my favourite reddit app. And it’s foss.
Jerboa is pretty damn good on Android. No complaints here, coming from relay and RIF
I got it looking like BaconReader! You can go into settings and adjust display options.
I’m loving Jeroba, I would just like options to sort the comments.
I’ve read this is coming in next release I think
It’s alright but one big issue I’ve been having with it is the app not keeping my place when going back from viewing a post. Like I’ll be viewing some community by top of all time and when I’m 15 posts deep I’ll click one, go back and it resets me to the top of the list. Becomes very tedious scrolling all the way back down after every single post
Agreed, Jerboa is working just fine for me.
A robed man stands in the desert on a planet. The text below him says Lemmy API. Several AT-AT like robots are shown with red lasers firing at the robed man. Each robot has the text of an In development Lemmy app below it
Jerboa is pretty good imo
Ive ran the unreleased version there are a ton of improvements coming to it
Hope rif for reddit devs jump ship and do a rif for lemmy. Im using jerboa but it still lacking some useful features like blocking keywords.
I like Jerboa personally. I use the web app for kbin and quickly get annoyed and go back to lemmy on jerboa. But then I’m back to kbin because kbin’s /all/hot sort works properly and lemmy’s, while improving, is more like /all/rising.
Should try some of them 3rd party lemmy apps
Whys everyone obsessed with apps? Mobile browser works.
mobile browser works but is never as smooth and seamless as a native app.
What are some examples? What am i missing out on?
It’s hard to explain but for example see the difference of using Reddit web vs Apollo. Native apps have native system gestures and UI elements built in that generally feel a lot better to use.
The website definitely works, but it has weird issues with posts jumping around.
Also you can’t use gestures on the website, but you can on apps. Like swiping to comment/like, tapping to hide, etc). It just feels way smoother
Agreed. Also funny because this whole thing started because of well-designed native apps in the first place…
it has some overflow problems, and doesn’t look as good as a native app.
Whats an overflow problem?
TL;DR: big elements cause annoying scroll-bars to appear.
My username is very big, so when I open this page on a mobile I get a horizontal scroll-bar for the entire page.
In CSS there’s a property called
overflowwhich lets you decide how you want elements that contain elements wider or taller than them to behave. So you can solve this problem by simply making that element itself scroll instead of the entire page by usingoverflow: scroll, or hide the child elements by usingoverflow: hidden;.You can also solve these problems by dealing with the child elements for example: using the
word-wrapproperty to allow word wrapping, using thehyphensproperty to break words with hyphens, or in this case use the HTMLwbrtag to allow line breaking after every underscore, or even cut the longer words and append three dots to them; so my user name would look like this: “Limitless_s…”.I havent seen any such thing on mobile browser here. Its taken screen space into account quite well.
Progressive app as well (just pin the lemmy homepage)
Memmy App for iOS works quite well. Multiple updates per day over testflight.
Yeah Memmy is way better than the web app, and you can already do most of what you’d want to do. Definitely recommend checking it out
Been playing around with Limbo as well. Limbo is a bit ahead of Memmy in terms of allowing management of multiple accounts, but Memmy seems more lightweight on my iOS device.
Even though I am an android user, I guess it would be nice for iOS user to also have some development going.
There are at least 5 apps for iOS in development, Mlem, Memmy, Limbo, Beyond and Thunder
Thunder client is very nice and they also released new version which support make comments.
I use jerboa. Especially like that it uses material you
