I’m currently using Jerboa but it’s a little janky so I’m looking for recommendations

Edit: I think I’m gonna be using Eternity for Lemmy. Thanks for the suggestions!

Firefox.

Seriously. Every app I’ve tried has come up short in one way or another. Lemmy is best in a browser and the best browser is Firefox.

I use Boost to browse. I use Firefox when I need to use mod/admin tools. Sync is the only app that has any mod tools at all so far.

Ooooh, you’re a mod. Makes sense you’d prefer a browser in that case.

I have my instance PWA shortcut created with Firefox. Lemmy-UI is just perfect.

Boost, hands down! It was my favourite for Reddit and is still just as amazing in it’s Lemmy version.

Just installed Boost. So far, it’s feeling so much better than either Jerboa or Connect.

Same.

Used Liftoff before Boost became available but it was buggy. As soon as boost was released it was a no-brainer, moved straight over. The familiarity from using it with reddit is excellent, has a great feel and everything just works how it should.

Boost is best no doubt.

But for low end phones (like mine), Jerboa is a good alternative.

Does Boost for Lemmy need more resources than Boost for Reddit of something? BfR ran better than the home screen on my 15 year old tablet.

Haven’t done a direct comparison, but i would say it runs the same.

But like i said i run Jerboa since it’s lighter on design and it’s better optimized (uses Android 8.0 SDK instead of Boost’s Android 5.0 SDK)
