I'm using Voyager, but giving Boost some attention. We will see which I like better... I didn't like Sync or Jerboa much.

Connect is incredibly laggy for me, it's code needs some optimization, it's closed source because the dev himself admitted the codebase is a mess.

Liftoff's ui is just not intuitive, like, at all.

Connect never gave me any issues. I dont even feel the lag. I am used to Liftoff UI so got no issues there as well.

Connect gives me issues because I'm subscribed to over 600 communities, something with how the sidebar renders that community list destroys the app, also the animations aren't very refined, and there's a lot of text and multi button clicks for things that could be single button presses.

This will most likely get better over time, but until then, I'm definitely using boost or sync.

I'm surprised there even exist 600 communities...

There are hundreds of servers, and hundreds of thousands of users, so yeah, there's that many lol

Okay good deal. Glad it wasn't just me.

still using Jerboa since I joined up, and I'm so used to it now that other apps just feel off. I was a rif user in the before-times, and jerboa has the same kind of stripped-down vibe I'm comfortable with
