Low Quality Apps (lemmy.world)

This is just a rant post about the shortage and quality of currently available Lemmy apps on Android... I started with Jerboa, and honestly was pleasantly surprised at its feature set. But it looks... off. I recently started using Connect. I myself (using another account) like to post content, particularly GIFs (hard G btw). Perhaps this issue is simply embedded into mobile apps for Lemmy in general, but I can see the GIFs on desktop just fine... And not on either mobile app. Keeping in mind the GIFs are hyperlinked, not attached. It all just feels sloppy.

Anyways, I can't wait for Boost... It was the only reason I ever even got into Reddit. I hope it helps with some of these issues, although in my particular case, it may come down to how Lemmy handles gif/image links on mobile.

My main problem with the currently available apps is, that they all are quite laggy for me while scrolling. Jerboa, Thunder, Lift-off. Does anyone else have this problem?

No issue here, but I keep having this glitch with jebora and connect and thunder where it randomly decides I'm not logged in and it won't let me comment, unless I sign out then in. So frustrating. It shows my subs and everything but no commenting until I do that. Anyone else?

Same here! Only one i have tried that didn't is Connect.
