This is just a rant post about the shortage and quality of currently available Lemmy apps on Android...
I started with Jerboa, and honestly was pleasantly surprised at its feature set. But it looks... off. I recently started using Connect. I myself (using another account) like to post content, particularly GIFs (hard G btw). Perhaps this issue is simply embedded into mobile apps for Lemmy in general, but I can see the GIFs on desktop just fine... And not on either mobile app. Keeping in mind the GIFs are hyperlinked, not attached. It all just feels sloppy.
Anyways, I can't wait for Boost... It was the only reason I ever even got into Reddit. I hope it helps with some of these issues, although in my particular case, it may come down to how Lemmy handles gif/image links on mobile.
*Edited for grammar/spelling
This is exactly why I'm still on Jerboa. Was a boost user but I'm not sure if I'll go back to it, depends on how it turns out. Jerboa is super minimalistic and pleasing to my eyes. Plus text is large and well spaced. I'm always cranking up text size on all these apps (I'm still in my 20s I swear)
It definitely needs some adjustments but I think it's an app in progress and it will improve as time goes on
I just installed this app and so far, I like it. I'm new to Lemmy... I recently ditched reddit bc of the changes they made for 3rd party apps... definitely looking forward to trying out boost for this platform.
