Jerboa is performing amazingly after the mass influx of users on DDay and the update to my primary instance lemmy.world brought it's own challenges. I was app surfing recently, bouncing between about 5 of them... But Jerboa has been rock solid through this tough time and stood out from the rest. Hats off

I tried out 3 apps total and even with it being a little stuttery, Jerboa has been my favourite so far. I like the layout of the interaction buttons for comments as well as the ability to jump from one comment chain to the next or previous.

I found Thunder to be a very smooth experience but really didn't like that you need to swipe comments to interact, and that the distance you swipe determines whether you upvote or downvote or etc. Perhaps there's a way to change that in the settings but I couldn't easily locate it.

I tried about five different apps and Liftoff is the one I think I've settled on. It has the smoothest overall experience IMO and the most appealing UI. But Jerboa would be my second choice.

Jerboa is great, but litoff performs better. I hope they optimize Jerboa a little bit more.

Can you give a couple of thoughts on each of the other apps you tired?

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
