thunder looks cool, but just like jerboa it is in early alpha, they can be a bit unstable, for the time being i'll personally stick to the web browser.
Jerboa is working great for me so far 👍
I put jerboa in the place where I used to have the Sync Pro app mostly just to start coming here out of habit. But a lot of times I end up browsing through chrome because I get a lot of random JSON parse errors in Jerboa. There's a paid app called Fedilab I'm curious about but it doesn't seem to work with Lemmy instances yet, I think it's mostly for Mastodon.
Use the web app. It works very well.
It keeps loading random posts to the top of the page while I'm scrolling. I know this is a known bug... But the website is basically unusable.
Jerboa. It's pretty bad though, I wouldn't even really call it "usable" since it crashes so much, had to just browse on Firefox on my phone.
It just started, though. I'm sure once they get over the hiccough of the influx of new users, itll run smoother.
I haven't had any issues with crashing (so far).
What device / os are you using it on? I have it on a Pixel 4a and it works with no issues that I've noticed, been smooth sailing. Coming from RIF it also feels fairly familiar.
In my experience, Jerboa is like 85% there. It is buggy sometimes, but it's much easier for me to use. It also has a true dark mode which looks fantastic on an OLED.
Definitely some things I'm missing on jerboa. There's no way to go to a post directly from your notification feed which is like... A crucial thing to be able to do.
I don't think I've had a single crash apart from when clicking on a lemmy link
You call it a crash, I call it a quick exit button /s
It is remarkably quick! Very efficient crash
Trying Jerboa right now, don't like it.
All text fields show as password fields, no dictionary, submitting a comment is slow af.
Android 14 beta 3
I figure at this point, forget about apps and stick to the website. Good Android apps will come in time.
