I keep trying new Lemmy apps. Some are very good, polished, and will work for most people. No disrespect to any of the third-party apps - I keep rotating between a few to see which I'll end up using most. Not knocking any of them. But I just keep coming back to Jerboa. Usually, the third-party apps will just be missing that little something. And on the rare occasion I feel like Jerboa needs a feature that another app already has implemented, bam, it's in the next update (such as DMing users in this update). Not here to suck on that Jerboa peepee, but just wanted to say thanks. With all the appreciation posts going around for the new hotness apps, there's still some of us that appreciate the classic and all the work put into it by the various contributors.

what i dislike about jerboa is that external links are opened in the browser instead of the app build in browser and my browser history gets spammed bc of that.

[-] adsche@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

Huh, interesting. I'm the opposite, I never want any sites opened in in-app browsers where my browser extensions are not active.

Yeah, that is one feature I'd like to see - links opened in-app. I'm sure there's a way to request features.

I've solved this and similar issues in other apps by using Better Open With along with Firefox Focus

i have firefox for android installed, and it seems to open in an in-app firefox pane.

Jerboa

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.
