Just installed jerboa on my android phone... it's tiny! 2mbytes?!? An app this small! Wow!
I am looking forward to when they will finally ad some ads or other monetization. It really doesn't feel like an app in 2023 without anyone trying to fleece me for all I am worth.
Can we also get Lemmy itself to include most of npm in its bundle? I'm using my PC for heating and am getting cold after getting off of Reddit!
I can't tell if your joking.
Its funny that we are impressed by things like this.
Well, software has gotten bloater in the past 3 decades...
I'm so freaking happy about this, I'm so tired of electron apps taking ridiculous amounts of space and ram for minimal functions
I've kinda given up on the app though, it's definitely behind simply using the web interface here as there's a good number is buttons missing, buttons that I use.
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
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
Try clicking on a comment instead of holding.
Try clicking on a comment
Clicking? Tapping?
Yeah. Tapping a comment hides it!
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
It's amazing how small actual software can be.
It's not a wrapped up web app (Lemmy has PWA functionality, so there is no need for that tbh).
There's no click tracking. There's no ad framework.
It's just an app that interacts with an API.
What happens when you don't have a crapton of javascript and a whole browser bundled together
