I have tried Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy, and Liftoff. Connect for Lemmy is my preferred option now as the UI is cleaner, available at Playstore, enough customisation for me.

Boost for Lemmy is what I am looking out for at the moment.

edit: OK, Thunder is my favorite now πŸ˜†

Tried jerboa and it's perfectly good enough. Threading could use slightly more distinction but its snappy and lightweight.

Also am waiting for Boost for Lemmy though as that was my Reddit app of choice. Time will tell if I end up on it or stick with jerboa

Used Jerboa for a couple weeks, but got sick of the constant crashes. Connect and Liftoff were both better than Jerboa imo

Haven't had crashes yet, honestly the only complaint so far using Jerboa on a pixel 5 (lemmy.ca instance if those could play a part in potential issues). Is notifications... They seem to be broken similar to how boost was broken with reddit consistently for me.

I have a constant 1 unread, and flipping the status just makes the numbers weirder, but never less than one. It's like those toggling light puzzles lmao.

Are we the same person? I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. Boost was my Reddit app of choice, my first taste of Lemmy was Jerboa, and the latest updates for Jerboa have been awesome. But I want Boost for Lemmy!

Thunder is my favorite so far but connect is a close second

My favorite reddit apps were boost and relay so I'm very excited for boost coming to lemmy

Thunder loading is really slow for me compared to Liftoff or Mlem, I see very few people talking about this
