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.

Hello, a feature I'd love, both in jerboa and in the lemmy web interface, would be to mark all messages in a new discovered community as read. I set my account not to show read stuff. So to have a fresh start. If now I decide to subscribe a massive popular community, like technology, after the recent post, I will see old messages forever

you are viewing a single comment's thread

what would you expect to happen if you read something but there was still comments being made afterwards?

Let's put it this way, an i'm mainly speaking about lemmy itself. A client should remember which post and comment you read already and mark them differently (greyed maybe). If you are watching a community, or an aggregation of communities, unread post and post with unread comments go first, of course.

If you read all the comments the original post should appear after the others, and greyed, but if you expand the thread, you should be able to reply to whatever greyed comments. If a new comment appear on an old post, maybe after a week, you should notice it because the original post is not greyed anymore and back to the highest positions, maybe with a number indicator, something like "3 new message below". If you expand it, you should clearly distinguish the new leaves because they're not greyed.

I mean, it's not science fiction, it's how usenet clients did it in the '90s
