Jerboa is performing amazingly after the mass influx of users on DDay and the update to my primary instance lemmy.world brought it’s own challenges. I was app surfing recently, bouncing between about 5 of them… But Jerboa has been rock solid through this tough time and stood out from the rest. Hats off
I tried out 3 apps total and even with it being a little stuttery, Jerboa has been my favourite so far. I like the layout of the interaction buttons for comments as well as the ability to jump from one comment chain to the next or previous.
I found Thunder to be a very smooth experience but really didn’t like that you need to swipe comments to interact, and that the distance you swipe determines whether you upvote or downvote or etc. Perhaps there’s a way to change that in the settings but I couldn’t easily locate it.
I think the Thunder dev has plans to implement the choice between swipe or buttons, I don’t like the swipe thing either, did so many accidental votes both ways lol
I’m optimistic about the future of Lemmy and the 3rd party apps, I’ll give Thunder another go if the dev follows through! I saw that Sync is planning to release a Lemmy app which I’d be keen to try, was my main Reddit app for a long time before I switched to Infinity.
