Ive been using boost for reddit for a long time. Jerboa is neat but imo not yet sufficient for daily use. Its a new app, development takes time.
Currently to use lemmy I am using Brave browser on Android and using my instance's website. This seems to be the most robust option available at the moment.
Yeah, Boost for reddit was my go-to too...
I'm a fellow booster using Jerboa. It's pretty barebones but it works so far! My only issue is I can't figure out how to community search (or search at all). I just switch to the browser, find what I need, then switch back. A little clunky but it's new!
If you go to the home screen and pick the community button (it's the second item from the left on the bottom and looks like a list) you should be able to search for any community that is indexed by your host instance.
oh nice! I see it now, it's hard to spot because it blends in with the rest of the in-line text. Maybe a future version could put a search box or make the search field more obvious in some other way. Thanks so much!
Yeah, I am enjoying Lemmy and Jerboa, but they are definitely not the most user intuitive.
Fellow booster! I am going to miss that app :(( I haven't been able to get jerboa to work totally correct, so I've also just been browsing on the website (on my phone)
I know ๐ I cant believe it honestly. Its been a daily use app for me ever since I started browsing reddit on my phone. Originally I got it because there was no official app, but over the years I've gotten so comfy with it. I really hope jerboa comes around, or we can plug lemmy into boost which we may actually be able to do, but for now the standard lemmy browsing interface is actually shockingly good on mobile.
Also the official reddit app is trash to be honest
