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.

I appreciate Jerboa being open source but even before the issue with reddit.world I had constant crashes while reading and it didn't make a pleasant experience. My intention was never to talk on behalf of Jerboa users but to give my personal opinion. In fact, Jerboa gave me a pretty good first impression but after trying other options I do prefer the alternatives.
