Low Quality Apps (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by bizzo@lemmy.world to c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

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.

Try Thunder if you haven't yet. Me personally, i currently have 6 apps installed and every time i want to browse lemmy, i use a different one. I want to get them all to know and see them evolve until i'll settle someday. Used to be a heavy Relay for Reddit user, so i want the closest possible experience, ideally.
