What client do Android users use for Lemmy these days? I’ve been using Jerboa from the start but it’s a bit basic and lacks any good search functionality. So I want to try some others. What do other Android users recommend?
Things I like about Jerboa:
- It just works. It’s pretty simple.
- It has actual private browsing in app. You never have to leave the app and it knows how to never save your history.
- It can do the above even when setting your main browser to Firefox (so as blocking works even in open links in app).
Things I don’t like about Jerboa:
- Text entry is oftentimes buggy.
- Lack of any decent search for communities or in threads.
- No draft capability.
I like Boost.
Last time I said this, I got shunned for recommending a closed-source app. I generally try to stick to open-source, but Boost has a good UI, works well, and bugs are fixed quickly.
I’m also using boost but “bugs are fixed quickly” isn’t my experience.
I started using Boost during round 1 of the API debacle when Reddit is Fun got the axe. Boost was still up & going so I used it there for a couple months before it got killed, then came here & kept up with it.
I haven’t had any major issues, just the occasional hiccup like spoiler markup formatting or other weird interactions.
