I agree. There's definitely work to be done but considering the massive influx I think it's doing pretty decently okay
Jerboa for lemmy: am I a joke to you?
I like Jerboa in fact I made this post from Jerboa. Just wanted to draw attention to large amount of new third part clients that has been getting announced lately

Shout out to jerboa. Very smooth transition from Sync. Suspect with the recent rexodus it'll only get better.
Yea i can ses the similarities, but i keep trying to swipe on things and it doesnt do anything
Sync for lemmy is coming and ill probably jump back to that, especially if its open source. Else i hope the jerboa folks take some more design cues from the other apps to make the whole ux feel a bjt quicker/easier
Wait sync for lemmy is coming? That's awesome.
Ha, I come from Infinity and I also keep trying to swipe on stuff out of force of habit. Would love some more options regarding or else other apps to get a hit more variety in the future, but I get this is all still in its infancy.
Am I stupid or am I missing a way to permanently set the "source" to subscribed instead of local? But apart from that it is quite good already.
Sadly it stutters quite a bit on my phone. But the all is still in its alpha and maybe I cheaped out a but too much on my phone that I should‘ve.
It stutters on my Pixel 7 so no, it's just stuttery in general
Interesting, it runs without stutters on my Pixel 6, but crashes often. Either way, alpha software isn't expected to be stable, so hopefully it will get better.
Same on my Galaxy S22. We need an app that scrolls smoothly at 120fps. Maybe Jerboa will improve over time.

For those uninformed:
Reddit Sync's dev is already working on Sync for Lemmy, and Artemis for Lemmy/kbin looks like a spiritual successor to Apollo; will even be on both ios and android
@git Jerboa isn't terribly bad but I understand why people think it isn't good.
I'm hoping the Infinity dev makes one for kbin though, would be a great fit
+1 for Infinity for Lemmy.
Infinity and Boost are my favorite Reddit apps.
Infinity dev is not making one. If the API shim works well it'll get forked by someone (it's open source) and it will work with Lemmy.
I thought about doing something similar as a labor of love but realized I've currently got dozens of projects in the works and would never really have the time. Between that and how shitty a very vocal minority of people can be to developers, I lost interest very quickly.
memmy is going to be ported to android as well

Jerboa is pretty damn good on Android. No complaints here, coming from relay and RIF
I got it looking like BaconReader! You can go into settings and adjust display options.
I'm loving Jeroba, I would just like options to sort the comments.
I've read this is coming in next release I think
It's alright but one big issue I've been having with it is the app not keeping my place when going back from viewing a post. Like I'll be viewing some community by top of all time and when I'm 15 posts deep I'll click one, go back and it resets me to the top of the list. Becomes very tedious scrolling all the way back down after every single post.
Also not being able to search for posts (unless I just don't know how)

Jerboa is pretty good imo
Ive ran the unreleased version there are a ton of improvements coming to it
Hope rif for reddit devs jump ship and do a rif for lemmy. Im using jerboa but it still lacking some useful features like blocking keywords.
I like Jerboa personally. I use the web app for kbin and quickly get annoyed and go back to lemmy on jerboa. But then I'm back to kbin because kbin's /all/hot sort works properly and lemmy's, while improving, is more like /all/rising.
Should try some of them 3rd party lemmy apps
Memmy App for iOS works quite well. Multiple updates per day over testflight.
Yeah Memmy is way better than the web app, and you can already do most of what you’d want to do. Definitely recommend checking it out
Been playing around with Limbo as well. Limbo is a bit ahead of Memmy in terms of allowing management of multiple accounts, but Memmy seems more lightweight on my iOS device.
Even though I am an android user, I guess it would be nice for iOS user to also have some development going.
There are at least 5 apps for iOS in development, Mlem, Memmy, Limbo, Beyond and Thunder
Whys everyone obsessed with apps? Mobile browser works.
mobile browser works but is never as smooth and seamless as a native app.
