Tbh, I don't particularly enjoy the way it looks and when I used it there were a few quality of life things, like hiding read items. But could've changed now
Do you mean read posts or read mail? If you mean posts, I actually wouldn't like that feature (for me). I like being able to find a post I found funny or pull up info for someone else, and seeing that it WAS read is helpful there
Posts. And iirc, it only hides them until you refresh.
I prefer it, because it allows me to explore and be exposed to more posts, especially if it is a slower day. I can just mark/favorite a post I found funny or interesting, which allows for faster searching anyway.
Fair enough! Jerboa currently functions similarly to baconreader (which is what I used to browse reddit) so it has been a very smooth transition. I might try out some of the other offerings over the next few months, but I doubt I will be clamoring or a switch until either I am not getting something I want from Jerboa, or someone tells me about a feature I would specifically like on another app
