Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Prior to 0.0.33 there were all the buttons below messages, vote arrows, show context, mark read and reply. Have they been hidden and I just don't know how to show them? Is this a bug? Am I dumb?

EDIT: Added my bug report as embedded post link.

EDIT²: Closing my bug report, solution is to long press on the username area of the message.

0.0.33 update log should mention this. It's a good feature, but frustrating if it's not mentioned in the documentation.

Edit³: I believe that the line in the changelog:

"Comment action bar improvements by @twizmwazin in #453"
Refers to what is happening, I'm not entirely sure.

EDIT - further to the below, I've got it working. If you long hold on the number of upvotes the reply has, the bar reappears.

Just wondering the same - oddly enough when I was looking at my inbox just now, I managed to get the up/down/reply options to appear on one of my replies, but I'm not sure how I did it, and I couldn't reproduce. I thought maybe I had long-held on the reply, but it didn't work when I tried again. Hopefully just a bug.

YOU'RE A GODDAMN GENIUS!

Long hold on the name, not the text body.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

Well this is really bad user interface design. Really a wtf moment for me at least.

[–] SuitedUpDev@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just out of curiosity, can you make a screenshot of your inbox? I'm still running 0.0.32, so I don't know how the new design looks like.

This is my current inbox. Don't know if there is even a difference, except for the bar below each comment missing (for voting, responding, etc.)

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@SanguinePar@lemmy.world figured it out, long press in the username/vote count bar to reveal the interactions.

[–] kalipike@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

THANK YOU.

That was so frustrating for a bit there.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

No worries, I feel like this feature should be optional.

[–] SuitedUpDev@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And touching the text (or title) of a comment doesn't reveal the bar below the comment ?

I just went over the changelog in the release, it doesn't mention that change anywhere. Except expanding the tappable area for a comment. See https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/436. Maybe it's a bug ? You can always fill a bug report at the Github page.

Long pressing the top bar where username and vote count is located reveals the interactions. I've closed the issue.

[–] SuitedUpDev@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! I just updated to the latest version as well and my god, that's finicky to get right.

Also seems like the votes aren't working, could be a server load issue though.

[–] SuitedUpDev@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah most likely. All the servers are currently smoking.

Surprised I am not. Reddit Hug of Death strikes again, hopefully it's a final gasping breath.

[–] SuitedUpDev@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit's hug of death before we let it die...

It's almost poetic.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Almost brings a tear to my eye.

[–] Anosyn@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now that you mention it - I didn't even notice this! But you could still click on the title of the past and look for the reply manually. Weird that the direct response was removed from the inbox.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

That's what I've been doing. On a small post like this one, it's not a big deal, but trying to find my comment in a 300+ comment thread makes me not want to reply or upvote....
