A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.

Just tried and it's much more impressive than Jerboa. No laggy scrolling, UI and UX are nicer. Feels more like RiF.

Only (minor) nitpicks I have are:

  • ~~dark theme could be darker~~
  • I'd prefer the comment form shows as a popup/overlay (like RiF does) so you can kind of glance at the context while commenting
  • list view items need more padding and less margin

Jerboa is absolutely not laggy on my side. Find it super responsive and lightweight instead. it's only 2MB

I'm guessing what they're referring to is that it waits to fetch the next page of the timeline until relatively "late". There's a definite hitch in scrolling for me when it's fetching more posts.

That said, I'm perfectly satisfied with Jerboa.

true, i do have that same hitch that you describe when it's fetching more posts. but that's not too big of an issue for me either. i guess adding a bit of pre-fetching would solve it.

Probably depends on your connection and how fast your instance is

[–] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Hmm, I don't know then. The scrolling is anything but smooth for me.

dark theme could be darker

Try the "Amoled" theme in the settings (remember to click save at the bottom of the page, I initially missed that). It's a much darker theme on my phone.

Ah! That's perfect, thanks!
