I will check out Flemmy! Right now I'm replying to this using Liftoff, and that's only because when I tried to reply on Connect the reply text box wouldn't come up, and I was there only because Jerboa stopped working for me today entirely. So I'm still super open to trying new apps lol.
Though I don't blame devs at all for rushing to get apps out while users are still shopping around. Once people get set on an app, they'll need a lot more reason to change. I know I used BaconReader for a decade even though I'm sure it wasn't the objectively best one, because I'd gotten so used to it.
I've decided to go with Luna after everyone cringed when they heard the name.
I pushed it back to add features and increase the speed, but I'm now getting ready to start the beta. There's still a lot to do, but I've been using it exclusively for weeks, and my friend convinced me I was being ridiculous, and (a few rough edges aside) it does the basics solidly, plus stuff like filtering, saving your place, exploring any instance or community without logging out, and a configurable link replacer so you can go to nitter instead of Twitter
If you want an invite I'm going to be posting instructions on [email protected] in the near future, I'd also love feedback and feature requests
