After saying goodbye to RIF and reddit, it's time for me to move on. So far I've used 4 apps for Lemmy and this is my personal ranking:

  1. wefwef.app. Very clean design, works well and smooth experience. Overall the best implementation so far.

  2. Connect/Liftoff (tied). Both are solid, I prefer Connect's sidebar and options but I prefer the design of the posts and comments on Liftoff. When the comments stack in Connect it looks awful IMO.

  3. Jerboa. As a first option it was good but after so many timeouts, other design issues and multiple errors I kinda gave up on the app. After its polished I'll give it another try.

What a bizarre comment. Have you been to the Jerboa community? Users have been plagued with incessant bugs and crashes as of late. It seems to have gotten better, but it's still a buggy mess for me. Not sure what the vitriol is for. OP isn't making shit up. It's a known issue for many users. Just because you magically haven't had any issues doesn't mean that the app is behaving that way for the majority of users.

I very much appreciate Jerboa for the pioneer it has been. But if the app doesn't work right and there are alternatives, I'm going to use the alternatives. Sorry.
