Not a developer, just pure interest as a user. Doing my part 🫡
I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa.
There are a few features that either don’t exist or I haven’t found (jump to next comments thread), but it’s worked really well overall.
For context, I use Relay when I’m on Reddit
Check out Thunder! It’s my favorite Lemmy app so far coming from Relay. Similar to Jerboa but a lot smoother in my experience.
I couldnt figure out how to post pictures with that app and there were a few bugs, but then again, it’s Lemmy.
It’s my favorite of the options so far, I wish I wouldn’t default to lemmy.world, but that may be pilot error…
I’m on Jerboa for the moment, it gets the job done, was more intuitive for me than Liftoff. With that said I will 100% be switching to Boost when it’s available.
Just tried Jerboa again. The search is not good. It doesn’t have the ability to search by comment, post, or user… Only search for communities. Liftoff, Memmy, and Voyager all have this function.
Truthfully, it was my least favorite of all of the Lemmy apps. I didn’t like it’s user interface. Was it recently updated?
I tried liftoff a few hours ago and same. Didn’t mind jerboa, but connect just clicked with me… I think because the flow is extremely similar to boost.
I couldn’t shake the same feeling I get when using discord when using liftoff. Just no.
To each their own. That’s why there are options.
I dabbled with Jerboa, Thunder, Liftoff, Connect, and wefwef.
I like Jerboa the most.
Jerboa looks ok but the thumbs up buttons make me feel like I’m on Facebook (stupid reason, I know)
Liftoff has everything I need so it’s fine for me until boost releases
The UI is a little too cluttered and messy for my liking but it’s a solid app! Love FOSS software
