Jerboa

I have searched the settings in the app, but didn't found such a setting. I want to have bigger thumbnails for posts with images and link previews. Is that available or if not can this be implemented? I have added a screenshot from "Thunder" with exact such bigger thumbnails. Can this be done?

I wanted to bring to your attention a feature from Voyager for Lemmy that could potentially be a valuable addition to Jerboa.

Voyager has a "Migrate Subreddits" tool designed SPECIFICALLY for Reddit users transitioning to Lemmy.

This tool streamlines the migration process by helping users easily find communities on Lemmy that are similar to the subreddits they've subscribed to on Reddit.

The process in Voyager is straightforward:

1. Users log in to their Reddit account and access their subscription list via the "multireddit of your subscriptions" link available in the sidebar.
2. They copy the link and paste it into Voyager, allowing the tool to automatically search for corresponding communities on Lemmy.

This feature SIGNIFICANTLY lowers the friction for users migrating to a new platform by minimizing the effort required to find and rebuild their communities.

Has Jerboa ever considered incorporating a similar "Migrate Communities" feature?

It could be an excellent addition to assist new users transitioning from Reddit, making it easier for them to rediscover and reconnect with the communities they care about most.

Such a feature could also enhance Jerboa's onboarding process and attract a growing audience of users exploring alternative platforms.

If this is something Jerboa could implement, it might be worth exploring further.

EDIT:

The way that it works is: when you enter the Multireddit link, it will show up like this:

And if you then tap on the link that you just added, you will get this:

And then, if you tap on one of them, depending on whether or not there is a Lemmy community alternative to the subreddit: you will either get this:

This:

Or this:

Links to external sites don't seem to be working. For example, looking at a Not the Onion post, tapping anywhere I'd think should take me to the referenced article just briefly highlights the post (it's clearly detected), but does nothing else. I'm running in an up-to-date Android 15 (Pixel 6) with an up-to-date Jerboa.

Jerboa sorely lacks the absolute basic feature of searching for keywords in posts. It only supports searching for community names. I can't think of any other Lemmy app that does NOT support general search.

I came to know that there is an issue open in Github for over 3 years now, but no clue as to whether it is been worked on.

Totally respecting the personal times of the volunteer developers who are making Jerboa an awesome app - at the same time the lack of this basic feature stops me from calling Jerboa my favorite.

Anyone else having this issue? When scrolling on the app I can't see the clock or battery or notification icons and can't seem to find a setting to disable this

I noticed that the last release was in September 27th, which is almost 5 months ago.

Does anybody know if they're going to release a new version soon?

Is there a way to only show English posts when in All? I love our friends around the world but I can only read English right now

I'm looking for a way to filter by text in Jerboa, for example hide every post if the title starts with "Trump“

Don't know if I just can't find it or if it doesn't exist. If it's the latter, this would be a welcome addition.

I would love to have a button on images in Jerboa that would completely invert the colors of an image. My retinas keep getting burned when I'm opening a post on my dark themed phone that is of a white image with text. It would be great to be able to view/read the image this way.

PS double tapping an image zooms it in waaaay too far. It should zoom to 100% size. My biggest pet peeve when trying to enlarge images.

Jerboa doesn't populate the image hotlink until you actually click on the post. I backchecked this with Voyager as well, just to be sure.
