I also went to Jeroba from RiF. Give it a bit of time; they actually just put out an update! This site doesn't have the benefit of the years and man-hours that RiF and reddit have had yet. It'll take some time

Agreed, it already feels much better in a day. Definitely loving the whole community vibe here.

The update to Jerboa today made it a LOT better. But if there was ever a Lemmy is Fun I would download it in a second. Purely because it's what I am familiar with and it's smooth.

There are only two Lemmy clients and one isn't even developed for anymore (Lemmur I think??). Jerboa is honestly all we have for Lemmy on Android. There are no alternatives at the moment other than using the website. Kbin doesn't have any apps at all.

The Jerboa team was quick to put out a new update tho. They seem to be keen on trying to quickly improve it!

Okay, just logged in today and the front page is full of content. Maybe it was just the lack of it that was making me feel weird.

This community is great, it only took about a day for people to settle in and start posting. Truly amazing.

Yeah i do visit it from time to time. But this app definitely has potential, just needs a bit of getting used to.

Honestly the biggest thing I don't like about Jeroba is the app icon only because it doesn't have a background. That's really nit-picking though. It's great so far!

Doesn't it follow Google's design pattern? Just curious, the app icon looks exactly like other Google apps i.e. with a white background.

It actually might yeah. I just swapped launchers and it looks way better. I think Nova was just doing dumb stuff with the icon.

Coming from RIF, I have been using Jerboa and it's starting to grow on me. There's definitely a lot of work to do, but it's exciting to see the app get better over time as the devs work hard on it.

I took a few days to get my bearings in the app, but I am now at the point where I compulsively open Jerboa instead of RIF.

It's hard to not want Jerboa to be "just like RIF" and instead let it be its own thing. But then you realize that Lemmy isn't limited to just being a "Reddit replacement" and has potential to be something even better. It feels like being a frontier settler.

my main issue with the app is that you can't change comment sorting and for some threads, like breaking news, it's essential to be able to sort by "New". There's a few other minor navigation issues but most of the time i find myself using chrome on mobile instead. I know it'll get better and probably quickly, but at the moment the browser seems to be the best option on mobile.
