I've noticed with the last 2-3 versions of the app (currently 0.0.69, nice); the app crashes 2/3rds of the time when returning to it from being in the background.

Open the app, switch to another app, switch back a couple min later and it closes then reopens as if you'd just started it for the first time today (losing whatever post you had open).

Curious if others are experiencing this?

Android 14, One UI 6.1

Since the last release, I find that gifs won't play in Jerboa anymore. For example, this comment just appears as a static image for me, even when I click on it. Do you see the same behavior?

Edit: solved by user merde alors:

>did you enable "auto play GIFs" in settings>look&feel ?

Then close and reopen the app and that should fix it.

Im not sure why, but Jerboa suddenly went a bit blue on me this morning.

Is it an update, or something I did? For context, its always had this reddish/purple tint to it:

!

I updated Jerboa from 0.0.60 (or 0.0.59 I don't remember) to 0.0.61 (all are F-droid versions) and I noticed this issue: the "create post" ("plus") floating action button hides under the navigation panel. Cleaning the cache and disabling-enabling the panel didn't help. The button is still clickable but it doesn't look right. When the panel is disabled it looks fine if course. I'm on Android 13 btw

Other apps and the UI seem to be working . I have edited out the username and password for privacy reasons. Also i am running version 60 but i was running it the previous week too.

EDIT : Uploaded the wrong .jpeg and now have replaced it i don't know if the change has been federated for everyone .

Hi, I'm using Jerboa in List mode and I recently noticed that posts are marked as read simply by scrolling by. I feel that might be a reasonable change for Card mode, but an entry in a List should not count as read unless it was opened. Or am I doing something wrong?

I've started noticing this icon more and more: usually on comments with no downvotes. What's it mean?

!

I wanted to post screenshots of my riced KDE setup on Unixporn so I copied them to my phone using a USB cable. And now when I'm trying to add them to a post, it seems to always show the same error (Client request(POST https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image) invalid: 403 . Text "<..."). The app has all the required permissions granted and I'm not banned from the community. What can it be then?

I am no programmer and am not sure if I am allowed to post this here, so delete if you want.

My suggestion: Like the default sort for posts we need a default sort for comments. There should be a dropdown menu like there already is for default sort posts.

Every time I try to use the text link to URL ()[] and go to hit the "ok" button, the entire windows goes away. The work around is to hit the keyboard minimise to uncover the buttons.

Press anywhere but the keyboard and ya loose everything you type.

Another bug is when you try to paste anything in the body it pastes it at the beginning of the body regardless if where in the text you have highlighted.

Sometimes an instance will load but in unable to view comments (can't remember what it said) you need to clear the app cache to fix the issue

This is about it, otherwise this is my fav Lemmy app around. Keep up the good work.

Ps before you ask this is the only app I've encountered these issues with

This post doesn't show up in the feed of the community to which it was posted when seen via Jerboa and cannot be opened in the app by any other means. For more details and comparison to other apps, please see this post.

I don't like using Chrome anymore, but any link I open goes to Chrome. Way more importantly, any YouTube video opens to the YouTube app, which is a huge problem imo. I end up not viewing 90% of the videos posted on lemmy, because I don't want my YouTube feed to be screwed up.

Even innocuous content is a problem for me. Like, I may be interested in seeing a satisfying wood working video one time, but I don't want my feed thrown off.

As it stands, I pretty much only watch videos on this platform if there's a piped link accompanying them. My 3rd party app for reddit had the option of an internal browser, which I always used.

I love Jerboa, think it has the best UI, and recommend it all over lemmy. But I feel like it's lacking important features, without an internal video player, and less importantly an intenral browser for non-video links.

Even the implementation of a setting that would allow me to open links to Firefox instead of Chrome or YouTube would solve my problem.

Anyway, just a thought.

Edit: So I'm dumb and changing default settings in my phone solved that problem. I would still like to see an internal browser and video player tho.

Since the last update, I cannot write or respond anymore with one of my accounts in Jerboa. The same account works as expected with Voyager and the web UI.

With the present account, I can post without problem (and I wrote this in Jerboa). I don't believe that I modified the configuration in any way.

I get the following messages in the other account:

• This account is not yet in a ready state
• This account (name of the account) is b... [cannot see more displayed]

The problem is not limited to any specific lemmy instance (same issue on feddit.de and lemmy.world).

Any idea what is going on here?

Sometimes, it may be good for one's mental health to "take a break" from a community or user. It would be nice to be able to temporarily block posts from a user or community that one may otherwise enjoy in a 1h/6h/1d/1w or possibly arbitrary time period.

After the most recent update, the view always return to the top of local homepage.

This is very disruptive, since some users would press home when they want to use another app, and would tap the icon on the homepage to go resume what they were doing.

I actually tried to write this post earlier, but something came up that requires me to context switch. When I was done with that, I tapped Jerboa icon on my homepage (muscle memory). To my surprise, the post I was writing disappeared, replaced by the local homepage. I don't even browse local that often...

Whenever I try to click on any post link, it opens up whatever my most recent Chrome tab was. Clicking any post link essentially just works as a shortcut to open Chrome. This just started happening to me this morning.

Markup let's you label a link which is really nice for readability but can also be used to trick people into opening a different site from what they are shown. For example the link below suggests it takes you to a Mastodon instance but if you blindly tap it it will take you somewhere else:

https://mastodon.social/explore

Is there a quick and convenient way to check the actual URL behind a link? I know that it's possible to show a post as plain markup but in longer posts with potentially multiple links it's cumbersome to correlate what is what.

Ideally long tapping a link should show you the actual URL or alternatively you always get a small confirmation pop up with a simple tap (that's how it worked on RIF for instance).

Just sanity checking if I'm missing anything, else I might submit a feature request.

Edit: looks like this was added in a recent update. Get the newest version and it will let you long press a link to get an options menu.

When I am typing and press the backspace, the words get clumped together that shouldnt have been.

Version: 0.0.44

[Sorry that I had to use Reddit to upload video about Jerbora]

When I click on links like the one circled below, nothing happens at all.
