Low Quality Apps (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.

I'm liking jerboa the best. It feels the most complete with more features. I did use connect for a few days and do like it too but it's lacking a bit. Liftoff is okay but haven't really used it much.

One good thing for connect for lemmy is that they have a new feature to block an instance.

literally a whole instance. That's crazy.

Perfect! I've been dying to get that feature to block a couple of instances I really don't like
