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.

That's it that's all I have to say.

Many thanks to @mv-gh for these quick fixes.

Like the title says. There are communities whose purpose is to just repost Reddit posts using bots and they're flooding my front page. I'd like to block it using Jerboa. Is it possible? Or can it be done via the web interface?

As the title says, if I click on a link to a Lemmy post that was deleted, or can't be found for whatever reason, Jerboa goes back to the start of the feed instead of going back to where I was.

Especially annoying when I've been scrolling for a while. Sorry if it is a known bug, I haven't seen any post about it.

Edit: trying to reproduce it, test

Edit2: this !madeupcommunity@sopuli.xyz lets me go back normally, so I think it's a weird interaction when opening urls in jerboa through URLCheck that makes another instance of it, restarting it. If I find any links that actually break it without this interaction I'll update the post, but until then, consider it a false alarm/special case ;)

If you look at the very bottom of the screen shot you can see that the home, search, etc buttons are cut off.

Happy to provide more info to help. I'm on a stock pixel 3a.

I've encountered a small issue with Jerboa that I wanted to see if other people were experiencing. And or if there was a fix for this issue.

E: fixed in 0.0.75 - thank you MV :)

Hey there,

I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this behavior where the swipe to navigate back gesture would register twice within the app, taking you back two steps instead of just one.

I'm not sure exactly when this behaviour was introduced, though it persists with today's .72 alpha release. I was to say it came about in the .6X timeframe.

I've not found this reported on the github, though I just wanted to check that this isn't a system specific issue before submitting. #1399 may be relevant as it refers to swipe input sensitivity but I think that's more of a gesture threshold matter than input registering twice in the app.

My app settings are attached in a photo:

and I have a short clip:

Steps to reproduce:

• Using the provided gesture settings in Jerboa
• From the home feed, tap into a community name
• From the community view, tap into a community post
• Swipe left to navigate back to the community view
• Observe two steps back in response to a single input

Is anyone else noticing a lot of repeated posts in their feeds recently?

Almost each time I go through my subscribed, local, or all feeds I am now seeing the same post from the same community multiple times.

I'm using 'last 6 hours' as a filter if that helps.

Not sure if this is user error, a lemmy issue, a jerboa issue, or just inactive communities. A lot of communities I'm subscribed to, with many active members, show no posts more recent than a week or a month. At first I thought this was just a lack of activity, but recently I noticed that a post I had commented on was not visible from the community page (under either hot or new), although I was still getting replies and the post is visible from my comments page.

As a test, I tried posts from /all/, and was quickly able to find one that is visible for me from /all/ but does not appear on its own community page under new - the post on politics@lemmy.world about a 271 page document on Vance (about an hour ago).

All I can think is that either a lot of posts are being deleted (but somehow still showing up through other methods), or the community pages on jerboa are not updating even when explicitly told to refresh, either by dragging down from the top or selecting refresh from the community options menu.

Anyone else encountering this problem or know what might be causing it? I've noticed the lack of posts on subscribed communities for a while and always assumed the communities were just inactive (which obviously makes lemmy much less useful for me), but the politics test is making me think it's something else.

Edit: another point of reference, the newest post showing for me on this community (jerboa) is from a week ago, regarding switching language on gboard.

Anyone else have the issue when using jerboa that when they try to change input language (by holding the space button) the selection menu just flashes up and then disappears?

Somewhat annoying.

For me, both of those functions open the link in the built-in browser. Is this a common problem?

#What's Changed

• Fix subscribed feed paging not working by @MV-GH in #1597

Full Changelog: 0.0.70...0.0.71

I always thought I was seeing too many copies of the same post. Usually chalked it up to cross posting or reposts, but today I just saw the exact same post twice almost back to back, from the same user to the same community on the same instance. Is this a bug? What's going on?

Where's the button to set default comment sorting?

I wasn't 100% sure this was a problem, as I had noticed a lot more people commenting what appeared to be static image responses to comments. But there's this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/16932878 which makes it easy to be sure that in fact they are definitely GIFs, and they don't play when you click on them. It just opens the first frame of the GIF like a static image.
