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.

Title. Basically the first press seems to do nothing but the second press actually subscribes. Why is this?

So.. I'm not crazy! I'm not the only one!

I could be wrong but I think the first click works, there's just no loading indicator, so then you click a second time because it's unclear if anything is happening, and then shortly afterwards the successful response from the first click comes back and it just looks like the second click did something.

I have found that for me it is only lemmy.ml communities. When I was on lemmy.ml it always happened. I moved to lemmy.world and now it is only lemmy.ml communities that do it. Desktop or mobile. It's an instance problem, not a jerboa problem from what I can tell.

I get it EVERYWHERE. Beehaw Lemme. World Lemme. Ml

It's a jerboa bug. Is it reported yet?

[–] cats@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This happens to me on lemmy.world as well, not using the app, curious that your move fixed it though. I think it might be a general lemmy issue rather than instance specific

[–] wdfa@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure this is an issue with Lemmy in general and not Jerboa. This happens on desktop, but weirdly not with all instances.

[–] Magrid@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

sometimes it also happen on the website (at least for me) so I don't think it's some jerboa bug, also note that this app is not even in beta at the moment, just give it some time.

[–] boo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is happening on the website for me, too, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with jerboa specifically.

I assumed it was an intentional function on mobile. Kind of like "Are you sure?" without the pop-up. I've had to press twice for every feed I subscribed to so far, regardless of where it's hosted.

any communities on my home instance allow pressing subscribe immediately, but any out of it have the double press issue

I think it does send the request the first time you click, but it takes a while to get a response from another server. Try it with some communities that are local to your server and you'll notice it's not so much an issue. I'm not a Dev and not am authority on the topic, but I think it puts your request into a queue, this helps make sure that your request makes it to the requested server in the case that one of those servers is temporarily down for maintenance or updates.

What I think needs to happen is just to provide a visual response to indicate that your request is sent and awaiting a response, which doesn't usually happen until you click it a second time.

I have some that say Pending indefinetly but I seem to be subscribed.

[–] boo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have some that are also indefinitely pending. In my case, they seem to be on servers that aren't federated with the server my account is on. All communities on Beehaw.org are doing this. I am still able to post on them, but I'm not sure if they are showing on my front age or not.
