    I started using jerboa cause of a random suggestion, how does everyone feel about it? I noticed it doesnt collect user data and I think it said it encrypts stuff, which I like for privacy

      I had to switch to connect for Lemmy, as jerboa was bugging out and not showing me anything on my feed from outside my local instance.

      Waiting for sync for Lemmy but it’s roughly 6 weeks away from release according to developer.

        Same, I do wish connect had quick buttons to move between connects. You can collapse a comment section by holding down the parent comment, but I haven’t found a way to navigate quickly.

            Just wanna let you know that I am usong your app now and that it is the reason I decided to give Lemmy a try. I was weary about migrating because Lemmy seemed a little to complicated/unintuitive, but your app fixed all that for me. THANK YOU

              I’m so glad to hear that! I am actually new to Lemmy too (switched over when subs went private) and couldn’t find an app that wasn’t confusing to me so I decided to make one.

      I’ve only started using it, but I’m liking it alright. That being said, I’m going to use Sync as soon as it’s available.

      I am still getting used to it coming from RIF but it’s growing on me.

      I’m using it. I like it better than connect which is the only other one on the play store right now. There are more but you have to install them off github. I’ll just wait till they make it to play store to try those out.

      I’m using it. I came from Relay. I like Jerboa because it has two features I really liked in Relay, colour-coded threads for readability, and swiping to get back from a comment section to the main feed. I’m not too fussy other than that (dark mode and small font also appreciated though). It works well for me in general, I can switch between my accounts easily which I like, though there was a bit where my instances weren’t up-to-date enough for the app and notifications have been a bit on/off, but that’s teething problems. It also sometimes forgets my preference for defaulting to all > today, it puts it back on active.

      Jerboa was one of the first legit apps out there for Android. But then it killed itself and became a horribly buggy, crashing mess. It doesn’t seem to crash as much anymore, but scrolling is very laggy and glitchy still for me. Wouldn’t recommend it at the moment, sadly, but I appreciate it as a pioneer.

      I’m using liftoff and I like it more, because it remembers that I only want posts from the communities that I’m subscribed to.
