Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.

Just tried and it's much more impressive than Jerboa. No laggy scrolling, UI and UX are nicer. Feels more like RiF.
Only (minor) nitpicks I have are:
Jerboa is absolutely not laggy on my side. Find it super responsive and lightweight instead. it's only 2MB
I'm guessing what they're referring to is that it waits to fetch the next page of the timeline until relatively "late". There's a definite hitch in scrolling for me when it's fetching more posts.
That said, I'm perfectly satisfied with Jerboa.
true, i do have that same hitch that you describe when it's fetching more posts. but that's not too big of an issue for me either. i guess adding a bit of pre-fetching would solve it.
Hmm, I don't know then. The scrolling is anything but smooth for me.
Try the "Amoled" theme in the settings (remember to click save at the bottom of the page, I initially missed that). It's a much darker theme on my phone.
Ah! That's perfect, thanks!
