Jerboa has bad UX because it needs work. Official Reddit app has bad UX because the developer wants it that way.

The fact that it's open source means that people will fix it when they become annoyed enough with this. This doesn't apply for the Reddit app.

Don't feel, as long as it's constructive and we all are at an understanding that devs may take some time to acknowledge them (tons of prior work), it's fine.

Of course you could always throw the a couple of cents if you got the chance, nobody minds being invited a coffee.

The dev of Jerboa based it off of Boost for Reddit. The only way you would get an exact copy is if the dev of boost decided to move over to Lemmy. Doubtful, but possible.

Boost is great! A lot of the 3rd party apps are lovingly made. Stinks that Reddit decided money was more important than a user-base. But now we have Lemmy, which hopefully won't even be able to be like that.

I just got into lemmy, can't imagine using reddit without boost, jeroba feels very similar to boost except for having very little customisations(the font size in the comments is bugging me a bit), but I think with time it'll improve.

Honestly, and I say this with no disrespect, but I feel like the UX is pretty lackluster across this entire ecosystem. It's understandable, since I would imagine the bulk of developer priority is going towards just making things work as reliably as possible on the backend side of things. Fortunately, given the open source nature of things, I feel like the community will fill these gaps in over time. :)

You and I are in full agreement there. I'm guessing that he's eventually going to work something out with Reddit, and keep his focus and priorities over there, but I would love to see something heavily inspired by Apollo make it's way over to this side of the aisle. I'm hoping to start learning Swift (or Tauri+Rust) sometime in the next few months, so if we don't have something by then, I might take a crack at it personally.

With how openly reddit is trashing on apollo specifically, I'm not so sure. I know he does probably want to, as he's in the red either way (if existing yearly apollo subscribers can no longer get content, they can refund through apple and he has to eat that), but reddit seems like it's taking a blowtorch to all bridges.

But yeah, mlem right now isn't much. Any more working on ios apps would be great.

I come from Boost and the experience has been almost seamless. Things I enjoy more than boost: less settings to get lost in. Things I miss: content type filters and persistent community settings (e.g. if I sort by new somewhere I am used to the app remembering it).

In any event: keep up the good work!

A few themes (AMOLED for dark mode) would be great. For some reason, default font size seems to be too big for me when viewing a post and its comments, but normal for scrolling the feed. Adjusting it to size 12 made the post view look normal, but the feed now looks too small.
