There is an open issue for this: Implement in-app searching of all content, not just communities https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/27

I did various things already. Upgraded to 35 yesterday, which made it crash. Today i uninstalled and re-installed older versions and the latest several times, tried different combinations of cache wiping and offline startup. As i see it seems to work for other people, i’m a bit worried. Wanted to wait for the next update.

Edit: It works! It had to do with that old issue with Orbot in VPN mode. Android 11 … some applications seem to expect VPN to be active and won’t work until i turn TOR on and off. – Written from Jerboa 0.0.35. :-)

Force stop – clear cache – clear storage – airplane mode – No luck.

Error bubble: “sopuli.xyz is not a Lemmy instance.” (they are now on 0.18)
For me, Jerboa just stopped working alltogether. 0.0.35 seems to crash no matter what i do. Even in airplane mode.

It’s probably low priority, because it would be a rarely-used but relatively complex feature that requires mainenance. Think of community maintenance also. I’d see no real need for it, as that can be done through the website just as easily. My personal opinion.

That’s actually still missing. There’s an open feature request for it: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/108

You’ll get most frequent updates with F-Droid and the IzzyOnDroid repository:

Font size mismatch has been fixed with the last update.

I agree, it has too much whitespace. But it seems it’s done with portrait handheld users in mind. I practically always use it in landscape mode where there is yet more empty space.

Well now there are a few more on the team …

Which version is yours? Can confirm in 0.0.33. Look and Feel doesn’t scroll, About doesn’t scroll.

v.0.0.33 just went live, i see! :-)
… and indeed, i can tap to collapse anywhere. Font sizes are fixed … Just some things still not al the way satisfying, will have to file another bug: a collapsed subthread all the way at the bottom can not be opened again. And it would be nice to still have some context visible on a collapsed comment, perhaps truncated and in small font.

I see what you mean. Jerboa leaves only the username visible but hides the comment from view. I just checked Boost which i used, and it does the same. I’m with you in that being able to find a specific sub-thread again after it has been collapsed would indeed be good. I would prefer the collapsed comment not to take too much space, so that would be small font and truncation for me.

I found the collapse function somewhat unusable anyway, because i would want to collapse when i had reached the end of a branch in a sub-sub-thread, but then i’d want to collapse only that branch which i had just read, so that i could get back to the parent of that branch, get the context again, and start reading the next branch from there. Therefore i’d find a collapse-up function logical. It could still leave a bit of context of already-read stuff visible, though, as long as it doesn’t take too much space.

Care to file a feature request over at github?
Just found that this might already be done in the next version: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/438

There is an effort to get the cross-instance link format fixed so that they first have the home instance handle it, but it would also contain the remote post ID in order to fetch it if not yet done. IIRC, so Jerboa might also be able to do a direct request if there is some indication of it being a network-internal link, perhaps
Automatically stay on an instance, when given a link to another #1048

Thinking of proposing this in a comment on the issue.

issue #482: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/482

Not a dev, but i’d suggest to test if it can be reproduced. Also test with a different camera, and try to find out if perhaps your camera application puts in wrong orientation info.
edit: this might be the same issue --> https://lemmy.world/post/39678 (funny synchronicity that the “all” feed of my server brings up these two posts from different instances next to each other)

Would you file a feature request for this? Stuff requested on the official dev platform have a much better chance to get picked. https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues

Excuse my ignorance, could you elaborate on what would be the benefit?
I did file a request for being able to collapse all comments above the current one until it leaves the parent visible. But collapsing all below would be non-intuitive to me.

Which version of Jerboa do you have? The latest is 0.0.32. New updates are first released on F-Droid, in the izzysoft repository. It’s in active alpha development, so updates are coming every couple of days. I remember having a similar issue in the beginning with an older version. If you have the playstore version installed and want to change to the F-Droid one, you want to first uninstall the playstore version.
