I wanted to bring to your attention a feature from Voyager for Lemmy that could potentially be a valuable addition to Jerboa.

Voyager has a "Migrate Subreddits" tool designed SPECIFICALLY for Reddit users transitioning to Lemmy.

This tool streamlines the migration process by helping users easily find communities on Lemmy that are similar to the subreddits they've subscribed to on Reddit.


The process in Voyager is straightforward:

  1. Users log in to their Reddit account and access their subscription list via the "multireddit of your subscriptions" link available in the sidebar.
  2. They copy the link and paste it into Voyager, allowing the tool to automatically search for corresponding communities on Lemmy.

This feature SIGNIFICANTLY lowers the friction for users migrating to a new platform by minimizing the effort required to find and rebuild their communities.

Has Jerboa ever considered incorporating a similar "Migrate Communities" feature?

It could be an excellent addition to assist new users transitioning from Reddit, making it easier for them to rediscover and reconnect with the communities they care about most.


Such a feature could also enhance Jerboa's onboarding process and attract a growing audience of users exploring alternative platforms.

If this is something Jerboa could implement, it might be worth exploring further.

Links to external sites don't seem to be working. For example, looking at a Not the Onion post, tapping anywhere I'd think should take me to the referenced article just briefly highlights the post (it's clearly detected), but does nothing else. I'm running in an up-to-date Android 15 (Pixel 6) with an up-to-date Jerboa.

Sorry, this is a little embarrassing lol. But my notification bar with the clock and battery don't show in Jerboa any more. Is this some full screen option in the app I've accidentally turned on or something in Android itself I've enabled for this app?

Thanks!

Jerboa sorely lacks the absolute basic feature of searching for keywords in posts. It only supports searching for community names. I can't think of any other Lemmy app that does NOT support general search.

I came to know that there is an issue open in Github for over 3 years now, but no clue as to whether it is been worked on.

Totally respecting the personal times of the volunteer developers who are making Jerboa an awesome app - at the same time the lack of this basic feature stops me from calling Jerboa my favorite.

Anyone else having this issue? When scrolling on the app I can't see the clock or battery or notification icons and can't seem to find a setting to disable this

Long load times? (midwest.social)
submitted 1 month ago by srasmus@midwest.social to c/jerboa@lemmy.ml

Does anyone else deal with initial load times that take forever? Once it logs me in it seems to be a bit snappier, but half the time the request times out.

I figured the issue was with my instance, but I can access it via web browser with no hiccups. Usually a refresh or two fixes it so it isn't much of a problem, but I'm mainly posting as a sanity check I guess.

I noticed that the last release was in September 27th, which is almost 5 months ago.

Does anybody know if they're going to release a new version soon?

I'm writing a Lemmy bot. (No spoilers. I'll publish it one day.) To test it, I'm running a local Lemmy instance (via Docker) on a computer on my LAN and pointing my bot at it. That method works great, mostly. I can use Lemmy-UI just fine on my computer. I can also connect to that computer from a browser on my Android phone via http://192.168.1.199:1234/. I can also connect to Lemmy directly from my browser on my Android phone via http://192.168.1.199:8536/ and get a JSON payload (rather than an HTML page) with some information about the instance. So I'm certain I can connect to both Lemmy and Lemmy-UI from elsewhere on my LAN.

I also want to see exactly what posts made by my bot look like in Jerboa, but I haven't been able to figure out how to connect to it from Jerboa. On the "add account instance" interface, you can select an instance from the dropdown, but you can also type whatever you want into the dropdown field.

I've tried typing in:

  • 192.168.1.199
  • 192.168.1.199:1234 (Lemmy-UI is HTTP port 1234.)
  • 192.168.1.199:8536 (Lemmy is HTTP port 8536.)
  • http://192.168.1.199:1234
  • http://192.168.1.199:8536

(And, yeah, I figure port 1234 is probably not correct because probably Jerboa doesn't go through Lemmy-UI, but rather directly to Lemmy itself. But I figured I'd include those experiments here for completeness's sake.)

But I get the error message "Couldn't connect to the instance."

I'm running Jerboa 0.0.77 and Lemmy 0.19.8.

Thanks in advance!

Or is this not possible on Lemmy generally?

Is there a way to only show English posts when in All? I love our friends around the world but I can only read English right now

I'm looking for a way to filter by text in Jerboa, for example hide every post if the title starts with "Trump“

Don't know if I just can't find it or if it doesn't exist. If it's the latter, this would be a welcome addition.

I would love to have a button on images in Jerboa that would completely invert the colors of an image. My retinas keep getting burned when I'm opening a post on my dark themed phone that is of a white image with text. It would be great to be able to view/read the image this way.

PS double tapping an image zooms it in waaaay too far. It should zoom to 100% size. My biggest pet peeve when trying to enlarge images.

Is there really no way to set a default comment sort order so you don't have to change it every time you go into a comment section? All the other apps have it... it makes Jerboa unusable for me.

hotlink bug? (slrpnk.net)
submitted 4 months ago by technomad@slrpnk.net to c/jerboa@lemmy.ml

Jerboa doesn't populate the image hotlink until you actually click on the post. I backchecked this with Voyager as well, just to be sure.

When I open the app it's default to sort by hot. I can't scroll past the first page, it fails to load any more posts. If I sort by top 6 or 12 hour it works.

Anyone else experiencing this or know what I can do to fix it?

I am tired of being blasted by political nonsense. I just want to look at memes and tech stuff while also not being scared of exploring new content.

Can we have a long press menu with block options when browsing? Sometimes I want to block things because I don't want to see it. It's a pain having to go to the post and click the options to do it. Or rather try to click it, but then the image loads, displacing the load button, so you accidentally click the image instead, getting it unblurred, in full screen. Literally the very last thing I wanted.

Hey there,

Not sure if this is actually more of an Android system limitation, but I came across this post earlier:

https://lemm.ee/post/45289052

The feed renders the linked .SVG graphic as expected, though the image lightbox (image view when tapped on) doesn't appear to render this. The AOSP gallery / files app and Google Photos app appear to also be incapable of rendering this, however.

Disregard, - it works now for me now 😅

Basically title. I noticed the new version in my F-Droid client but there wasn't any information about it anywhere. The version name also had a mention of the Google Play Store (gplay). What's up with all of this? Are there any questionable proprietary components being implemented to comply with the Play Store requirements or something?

Hey there,

This is an extremely minor quirk with how the image lightbox (apologies if I'm using web specific terms) behaves when a post image is selected from the feed and put into full screen mode.

On devices with on-screen nav and expanded status bar areas (camera hole design concession), the lightbox will show end to end with the UI controls overlayed.

If you tap once on the image to hide the UI elements, the status bar area is filled, whereas the nav area still shows as expected, though the image appears to resize slightly in response to the change in viewport. Wondering if this was intentional?

Truly the most P4 item I could think of but was curious.
