Idk it just seems to work/look better and doesn’t sign me out whenever I go on some certain instances

    I definitely prefer the app because it has a critical feature for me: tap to collapse

    I read a lot of the comments and being able to quickly collapse them is absolutely essential. There’s no way I’m able to hit that tiny little box in the webgui on mobile.

    I’ve signed up to support the dev because honestly, for an alpha this is pretty good. It seems to get timeout errors all the time even when the vote goes through, and you’re right it’s annoying that it can’t load Lemmy links internally, but it’s a great start and I hope it continues.

    It’s not Sync for Reddit, but it gets the job done. Hopefully more development can be made seeing the user base is growing so fast

    Jerboa was the reason for me to take the plunge and actually create an account. It feels very similar to Sync out of the box which I have been using to browse Reddit before. But there are definitely some rough edges still that need to be ironed out.

    Absolutely not! Clicking on links to a LOT of other communities/posts ends up opening a web browser within Jerboa to view the content. I got so tired of it that I moved to the mobile web site and now the user interface is consistent.

      That’s fixed in an upcoming release. I forget if it’s 0.0.34 or whatever comes next, but that was implemented in the last week.

      It’s a fast moving project, so check back in every week or two. It may be a bumpy ride in the next couple weeks as lemmy (the server bit) gets a new release and instances slowly upgrade, so have some patience with it in the meantime.

      That is very true, the app is definitely not perfect and I still do use desktop for moments like those, I just find that more manageable than it signing me out everytime I’m on certain instances

    I’m back and forth. I made a Firefox app and it works. I use Jerboa and it works. I’m waiting to see which one comes out on top in the coming weeks before making a decision.

        I think you can follow kbin magazines with your lemmy account, an then I suppose they’ll show up in Jerboa.

        You cannot use Jerboa as a client directly for kbin.
