Here I am on jerboa wondering why it barely gets mentioned lol. It was all that was available in the first wave of migration and im used to it now. Sorta how I ended up on baconreader. Someone told me to try it, I had not used a 3rd party app before then (reddit didnt even have one at the time, the one they have now is steaming trash) and I got used to it and never looked for another. Until Jerboa isn’t doing what I need/want or begins to have functionality problems, I dont feel a need to change
Tbh, I don’t particularly enjoy the way it looks and when I used it there were a few quality of life things, like hiding read items. But could’ve changed now
Do you mean read posts or read mail? If you mean posts, I actually wouldn’t like that feature (for me). I like being able to find a post I found funny or pull up info for someone else, and seeing that it WAS read is helpful there
Posts. And iirc, it only hides them until you refresh.
I prefer it, because it allows me to explore and be exposed to more posts, especially if it is a slower day. I can just mark/favorite a post I found funny or interesting, which allows for faster searching anyway.
Fair enough! Jerboa currently functions similarly to baconreader (which is what I used to browse reddit) so it has been a very smooth transition. I might try out some of the other offerings over the next few months, but I doubt I will be clamoring or a switch until either I am not getting something I want from Jerboa, or someone tells me about a feature I would specifically like on another app
