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.

Jerboa 0.0.84 seems to blindly try to force-open this webpage as a PDF document, when it needs to actually open it up as a webpage for the age verification HTML script. (lemmy.world)

This link drove me nuts last night, until I stopped tapping the link in Jerboa and instead copy/pasted the link directly into Fennec web browser.

If this bug has been resolved in a newer version of Jerboa, well just let me know and I'll make a point to update later.

Ok. When I copy and paste the link outside of Jerboa, it works just fine and exactly as expected.

But to tap the link here in Jerboa, it finds their HTML redirect shit to ask if I'm 18 or over, but since it's not actually a PDF document, it errors out and says Invalid Format.

This is NOT an Android issue, this is indeed a Jerboa issue, as I can simply copy/paste the link into a web browser and it just works, as expected.

But tapping the link within Jerboa tries to force-feed an HTML age verification page through a PDF link, which apparently messes up the whole show..
