      I’ve tried Jerboa, Connect, Thunder, Liftoff, Lemmotif, and the PWA. Jerboa has the best interface/ux imo, by far. Thunder is the least buggy to use, and the developer is a machine, doing constant updates. These 2 I think have the most potential.

        I’m trying connect now. Jerboa keeps crashing like madness on me…

          I started with Jerboa, but it wouldn’t let me off the local instance after initially being pretty good. Quite buggy for me. I switched to connect and I’m impressed so far.

            The same thing happened to me, except I had two accounts and I’d see the local feed of the other account than the one I was logged into. I switched to summit, but it’s buggy, unintuitive, and it’s missing critical features like subscribing to a new community or accessing my profile settings.

            fwiw Jerboa fixed that with the latest update that dropped about 8 hours ago. It was frustrating for a couple days there

        Trying Summit for the first time, it’s really good! Multiple accounts, good UI reminding me of RiF and hasn’t crashed yet. I find Jerboa clunky.

        Connect is my other fave.

      Im trying several others while they work out the kinks in Jerboa (it doesnt work very welll if you use Lemmy.World as your instance), but it honestly feels the best out of all of them.

      I’m coming from RiF is Fun, so it reminds me a lot of their layout.

        Also a former rif user, and I also really like Jerboa. But I haven’t been able to use it for awhile now, with the update/server weirdness.

        Also coming from RIF and I thought the same thing. It’s buggy, but it has potential to be my go-to app if the wrinkles get smoothed out.

        Same! Have only used Jerboa so far and think it feels simple enough to use coming from RiF. If you end up liking any of the others compared to Jerboa please let me know
