I wish I liked jerboa more as an app, the fact that I cant hold to hide comments, the fact that opening comments in my inbox requires more than just clicking on the comment, how tricky it is to sub to communities from multiple instances -- it's just really fidgety and I wish that a smoother app existed. But it's good enough for the time being
Try clicking on a comment instead of holding.
Try clicking on a comment
Clicking? Tapping?
Yeah. Tapping a comment hides it!
It will get better. We're in basically the large scale beta test right now. It's not like they could have seen this Reddit drama coming when it did. There's devs hard at work, but there's a lot on their plate. Give them some time.
Yeah, there's no debating that. It's just really bringing to light how spoiled we all were (at least, all us reddit transplants) regarding the whole third party app ecosystem. It's incredible how good those apps were
Turns out, you can tap and hold toward the top of a comment to hide those comments, just gotta find the new sweet spot and build that muscle memory ^_^
I agree about the missing quality of life around comments and the inbox, but in what way is subbing to communities from other instances difficult? I've just been typing keywords into the search bar and have had no issue subscribing to any communities, no matter what instanc they are hosted on.
if you click on a link to an instance iirc it opens that instance in your web browser rather than displaying it by way of your instance, allowing you to subscribe to it. It's strange
I'm embarrassed to admit how long it took me to find the search function in Jerboa. I almost never click the communities list tab so I never noticed it had the search.

Yeah, I found it completely by accident
