I started using jerboa cause of a random suggestion, how does everyone feel about it? I noticed it doesnt collect user data and I think it said it encrypts stuff, which I like for privacy
I've only started using it, but I'm liking it alright. That being said, I'm going to use Sync as soon as it's available.
I had to switch to connect for Lemmy, as jerboa was bugging out and not showing me anything on my feed from outside my local instance.
Waiting for sync for Lemmy but it's roughly 6 weeks away from release according to developer.
Same, I do wish connect had quick buttons to move between connects. You can collapse a comment section by holding down the parent comment, but I haven't found a way to navigate quickly.
Oh sweet, the holding down to collapse a comment is exactly what I've been trying to figure out. Rifuge here, thanking you for the info.
Connect dev here. It's coming! I like that feature a lot too.
Awesome! Ty!
After being here for 5 minutes. After not knowing how to login 6 minutes ago.
I've already forgot reddit exists.
What's Reddit?
Reddit? Never heard that before
What's Reddit?
I am still getting used to it coming from RIF but it's growing on me.
Same doesn't seem bad, just not what I'm used to.

You should try wefwef
I couldn't login two weeks and had to do it on thed web page. I can't download images in comment sections :(
I'm using it. I like it better than connect which is the only other one on the play store right now. There are more but you have to install them off github. I'll just wait till they make it to play store to try those out.
I would've liked to try it, but it crashes on app launch :/ using Connect For Lemmy instead
I'm also using Connect, but will probably switch to Sync once it comes out
I've really enjoyed Jerbora! It does crash some, but it felt very natural to me and curating a good sub page has made me really love scrolling.
It's good. I like the feel of it.
The one annoying bug right now is that post sorting gets stuck to your account's default settings, but that's not too bad.
I'm using it. I came from Relay. I like Jerboa because it has two features I really liked in Relay, colour-coded threads for readability, and swiping to get back from a comment section to the main feed. I'm not too fussy other than that (dark mode and small font also appreciated though). It works well for me in general, I can switch between my accounts easily which I like, though there was a bit where my instances weren't up-to-date enough for the app and notifications have been a bit on/off, but that's teething problems. It also sometimes forgets my preference for defaulting to all > today, it puts it back on active.
Jerboa was one of the first legit apps out there for Android. But then it killed itself and became a horribly buggy, crashing mess. It doesn't seem to crash as much anymore, but scrolling is very laggy and glitchy still for me. Wouldn't recommend it at the moment, sadly, but I appreciate it as a pioneer.
My big complaint is that it seems to exit on hitting the back button.
I'm using liftoff and I like it more, because it remembers that I only want posts from the communities that I'm subscribed to.
This is a setting in most of the clients, including Jerboa
Jerboa just broke it's self for me, if your home instance isn't on .18 Jerboa will crash on load.
