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.

Back button/gesture behaviour (lemmy.world)

I often get myself closing Jerboa by accident when I'm on my profile, inbox or search menu and hit "back". Instead of going back to my feed, the app considers all menus in the bottom bar as the initial page, and hitting "back" closes the app. From my experience with other apps, it makes more sense to return to my feed before quitting.

Does it make sense for someone else? Should I open an issue on Github?

I 100% agree, it drives me nuts too.

I would like to formally agree that this is annoying. I'm trying to retrain my brain but it is old and unwilling.

Also it would be good to implement one of those toast notifications "press back again to exit" that other apps have.

This is a known issue that I reported. You can resolve it by upgrading the app version (>v0.0.37) or by changing the Animator Duration Scale, in Android's Developer options, to a non-zero value.

Yep I run into this problem too

The navigation buttons resetting the navigation History is currently the intended behavior and not a bug. I am adding a back confirmation feature, that should be in 0.39 or 0.40. If more users prefer it not to do the nav resetting, i suggest making a issue to amend this, so that we can properly weigh in the desired behavior by the majority of the users.
