Supported Liftoff forks/alternatives? (slrpnk.net)

Since a few days ago I cannot connect to instances like slrpnk.net or szmer.info. It turns out the issue is a bad cookie left over after the instances switched to the newest Lemmy version. I fixed the issue in the browser versions both on mobile and desktop. Unfortunately, my go-to Lemmy app, Liftoff, is unsupported since September so this issue cannot (afaik) be fixed. I was reccomended to switch to Jerboa/Boost but I really like Liftoff's UI so Im wondering if there are any good forks of Liftoff y'all use, or potentially other alternatives.

Thunder is a Flutter app like Liftoff/Lemmur so the tech stack can be somewhat similar, but the UI is much different (personally I think Thunder's UI is very polished but it's a matter of taste), and it's free software like Liftoff.

If you want another open source app, you should also consider Eternity, but in this case not only the UI is different but also the underlying technologies.

After what happened to Liftoff, one should always consider the strength/health of a community of contributors before adopting a software. Thunder has a very active community and a couple of devs maintaining it, about Eternity I don't know honestly, Raccoon (apart from some bugs you may encounter) is not widely used and has only 1 person behind it so it's only for the brave! 😂
