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 and Connect have been my two favorite

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

Where are the thumbs up buttons?

[โ€“] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Must have been updated because I downloaded it after this post and I have arrows. But the screens on the app store did show thumbs.

Ahh I see maybe I'll try it again then

edit: damn they really should update their play store screenshots because the UI looks way better now

[โ€“] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I'll give Jerboa a try after looking at it.

Same. It looks and feels like "my first flutter app". I switched to Thunder, which is also made with flutter, but is much more pleasant to use.
