Coming from RIF, what is your favorite Lemmy app?
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:
-
wefwef.app. Very clean design, works well and smooth experience. Overall the best implementation so far.
-
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.
-
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 haven't had single issue, timeout or error with jerboa. it even worked fine when the web version of the lemmy had a problem. are you sure you tried to eliminate problems betweeen the chair and keyboard before you start backbiting someone else?
What a bizarre comment. Have you been to the Jerboa community? Users have been plagued with incessant bugs and crashes as of late. It seems to have gotten better, but it's still a buggy mess for me. Not sure what the vitriol is for. OP isn't making shit up. It's a known issue for many users. Just because you magically haven't had any issues doesn't mean that the app is behaving that way for the majority of users.
I very much appreciate Jerboa for the pioneer it has been. But if the app doesn't work right and there are alternatives, I'm going to use the alternatives. Sorry.

Just because someone is yelling on the internet about having an issue doesn’t mean that the app is behaving that way for the majority of users.
also, bugs are normal part of the development (esp. so hasty development as the lemmy is undergoing right now) and the most used app will have most reported problems. that is not a cons, that is a pros.
if you are bugged by reported bugs, you might like some closed source software, these all work nicely and have no bugs at all :D
so yeah, really bizarre comment you made there.
Are you having a bad day or something? Nowhere do I see anyone trying to actively attack and take down the app and its creators. I promise, it's not that deep. Moving to alternatives when something is temporarily too buggy to use is not that weird and shouldn't be seen as offensive. Hope your day gets better.
