I tried Jerboa, Liftoff and Connect Connect is the best one so far. I'm inclined to try Boost and Sync, those are repurposed reddit apps, but Connect is pretty decent.

I think it's just that the whole Lemmy thing is a lot more disjointed. Like, I can't see a nice list of subs, or even necessarily search for them. I have to know they exist and then search for them using their exact address. Quite cumbersome.

I understand the want for the whole federated thing but may have a central point where federation submit to have theirs catalogued? I dunno. Its making this whole thing very cumbersome and I'm not entirely sold on it yet.

if you are using connect, you get Auto completion when you start typing in the community(?) search field. also there's this https://browse.feddit.de/

I clicked than link and it opened a web browser with a list of instances but what I could do from that list is incredibly unclear

Yeah, I tried Jerboa and wasn't a fan. Very buggy. Now on Connect and it feels like the UI of RIF. But it will take me a while to get used to this new world.

I also think connect is closest, although there's functionality I'm really missing right now, like being able to save posts, hide posts, and sort comment sections by new/best/controversial.

Also, idk if it's a bug, but a lot of the posts I look at don't show as read after clicking them.
