Low Quality Apps (self.boostforlemmy)

This is just a rant post about the shortage and quality of currently available Lemmy apps on Android... I started with Jerboa, and honestly was pleasantly surprised at its feature set. But it looks... off. I recently started using Connect. I myself (using another account) like to post content, particularly GIFs (hard G btw). Perhaps this issue is simply embedded into mobile apps for Lemmy in general, but I can see the GIFs on desktop just fine... And not on either mobile app. Keeping in mind the GIFs are hyperlinked, not attached. It all just feels sloppy.

Anyways, I can't wait for Boost... It was the only reason I ever even got into Reddit. I hope it helps with some of these issues, although in my particular case, it may come down to how Lemmy handles gif/image links on mobile.

Im using LiftOff until Boost is launched. It is pretty similar. Wish stuff was more condensed.

I can't get used to Liftoff. Too much bold text, font sizes are off - some text is far too big and some far too small. Spacing feels weird too. Jerboa feels better designed.
