Trying to view images just refreshes the main feed
Trying to view images just refreshes the main feed
When I try to view images linked (e.g., from the meme community), Jeroba just reloads the main feed. Anyone else experience this, and is there a solution?
It's because you set it as the app to open lemmy links, and images are hosted by the lemmy domains. So when you tap it it tried to open the linked image in your browser, but your phone thinks the lemmy app is the browser it should launch. It should be smarter about handling links to things on lemmy.
Ah, I wondered if that might be the problem. Do you know if there's a fix?
Not that I know of. But it looks like the increase in users is driving an increase in development speed in the git repo. So maybe it will be addressed before too long
I changed my open links behaviour to "ask every time" so I still have the choice to use Jerboa to open Lemmy links while being able to open images within the app in browser. It adds an extra tap into the process but it works for now.
Can you clarify what you mean by "view images linked"? Maybe provide a link to a post that triggers the bad behavior and further describe how you interacted with it?
And maybe your device and android version?
