MODERATORS
I really like Lemmy so far even though it isn’t perfect yet. Adding a 3rd party app will make using this even easier.
I'm using Connect for Lemmy currently and it seems to be working okay. Just takes some getting used to, of course.
As of the last update. It has surpassed Jerboa for me. So my ranking for best app at present is connect, jerboa and liftoff.
Jerboa is butter smooth if you are using an instance that is updated to 18. But unusable if you are in an instance that is still in version 17 (beehaw)
I've still yet to try jerboa for the reasons you mentioned, but otherwise agree with your ranking.
I'm not too invested in any of them since I expect to switch to boost once it gets here.
Yeah, im on boost on reddit. And curiously it's july 2 and it's still working. Did mayayo ever sya that he will pay pay for the api costs?
Another former booster using Connect. Not bad for being such an early stage product.
Same here. I actually really like the swipe gestures, I think it's one of the only things that Boost is missing.
