Having recently given Lemmy (via the Jerboa app) & kbin (via just their web app – since that’s all there is) a test drive…

Lemmy is okay, but the app is extremely glitchy right now, throwing constant “unable to convert to JSON” errors. (I’m copying this comment before I hit submit, because I’ve already lost one lengthy comment due to those errors) FOLLOW-UP EDIT: I was never able to submit this comment via Jerboa, so here I am posting my comment on the website.

And Kbin is mostly just broken on phones.

The interface is completely confusing and cryptic. As far as I can tell, once you navigate off the home page, there are no links back?

And after several minutes of trying to subscribe to a “magazine”, I finally figured out that the button is rendered off-screen, and you have to scroll to the right to find it.

I had been using Megalodon for awhile (a fork of the official client with lots of enhancements & fixes)

Recently I’ve switched over to Trunks. It’s really a great app, especially for how new it is.

Probably not much of an issue in this case, since the TV isn’t really central to this… But don’t make the mistake I did in 2006 and build your cabinet to fit a specific TV.

A modern 65 incher will technically fit this 58" TV-shaped opening, but it’ll be a combo of awkward narrow & wide gaps.

Yep… I’m a long time Sync for Reddit user. A good client can go a long way to making the fediverse good. I use Mastodon a lot more than Twitter now, thanks to Megalodon & more recently, Trunks.

For me, Mastodon was actually quite nice once I started following hashtags.
