I started with Jerboa and then I switched to Connect. They both feel comparable...maybe Connect is a tad more intuitive.

I'm using wefwef, but might switch to "boost for lemmy" when it's out, cause I used boost for reddit

I'll likely change to Infinity for Everything. Infinity is awesome and is still working for free for now.

Edit: using Infinity for Lemmy

I prefer Connect.

Take a look at wefwef. App too

I prefer Connect, I did try Jerboa but find Connect more intuitive and familiar having migrated from RIF.

I've grown fond of Connect's UI pretty quickly. However, ever since they fixed whatever was going on with Jerboa recently, it's actually been working very well, really smooth and responsive. So I'm on Jerboa right now.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I just realized in Connect you can drag a post left to either upvote, downvote, or save...super fast. Though, Jerboa looks just like RIF with the traditional arrows and vote count on the left --which my eyes are trained for atm. Also, I agree with another comment that Jerboa has a more readable font.

I'm using Liftoff for now. Quite cool.

I couldn't get Jerboa to work last week, I found connect instead.

Been working well for me (on Pixel 6). There are some error messages sometimes but the thing you tried to do was actually done. Seems to be getting better too. A lot of it is how they handle waiting for the server to respond.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This. I wanted to like Jerboa but it doesn't handle waiting for the server near as well as Connect. I ended up posting the same comment three times because it kept saying there was an error and to try again later. If Connect could minimize its giant error messages it would go a long way to improve one of its relatively few flaws.

Jerboa's last update or so has become really buggy for me and doesn't work the vast majority of the time. I have since dropped it and moved to connect which seems a lot more stable :)

I have ended up in Liftoff after trying others

This question has come up a bunch lately, see rule #4. Also, you would probably have better luck in [email protected] or [email protected]
