Good to know! I'm currently using jerboa and it's so sensitive with scrolling
Afaik I've used ALL the lemmy apps on android. Connect is by far the best. It was kinda neck and neck with thunder and infinity for a bit, but the 1.0+ release implemented some amazing features, while still keeping the most functionality and managing to avoid the "scroll stuttering" that plagues other apps. Infinity (now eternity) is also good but account switching is more difficult and you can't block instances or communities from theain page like you can on connect. Example fo why that's lame - say you're scrolling by all and theres a bunch of gay/furry/anytypeofpornyoudontwanttosee...on many apps you have to GO to that communities main page just to block it. On connect you just tap the three dots menu and pick which you want to do. Easy peasy.
You can block like this with a long press in Thunder! There's been a pause in nightly releases but a lot of good updates coming for it in the near future :) feature and performance wise!
Nice! I feel like I'd read somewhere that they added it but I haven't used Thunder in weeks now, connect has become my #1 daily driver and sometimes I check on eternity when it updates. I should try to give thunder some love though,not was my #1 for a while when connect was still a little jank/less polished.
Definitely check it out again, I love it <3 I really love the compact mode, it's very clean. Sounds like there will be an updated nightly in the next few days, too! I'm going to go check out connect again :)
What's your thoughts on Voyager? It was my first favourite app, then Sync launched and I abandoned it for a while but even if I'm using the free version I can't get over the monetization so now I'm back on Voyager and wonder why I ever left. I tried Thunder, Connect and Infinity recently as well but they all had bugs that I couldn't get over.
Honestly didn't give voyager much of a shot. I didn't like how the UI was like an iPhone app, and I kept getting confused by it (because I'm a non-Phone user). I wasn't into wefwef for the same reason, but they both seemed solid enough.
There is an Android layout since a while back! Give it a shot!
Edit: and it's on the Play Store now as well.
Oh neat! I will check it out
Did you try it?
