After saying goodbye to RIF and reddit, it's time for me to move on. So far I've used 4 apps for Lemmy and this is my personal ranking:

  1. wefwef.app. Very clean design, works well and smooth experience. Overall the best implementation so far.

  2. Connect/Liftoff (tied). Both are solid, I prefer Connect's sidebar and options but I prefer the design of the posts and comments on Liftoff. When the comments stack in Connect it looks awful IMO.

  3. Jerboa. As a first option it was good but after so many timeouts, other design issues and multiple errors I kinda gave up on the app. After its polished I'll give it another try.

I tried Connect, Jerboa and Wefwef. Wefwef has been my favorite overall, except for the fact that videos seem to auto-play (maybe I haven't found the right option to turn that off yet). Second was probably Jerboa, it looked pretty good but something about the timeouts and performance just didn't feel right. Plus I kept accidentally jumping back to the top of my feed, which is something I literally never want to happen. Connect wasn't great, I couldn't find a layout that showed full image and text posts without clicking on a thread :/

I don't think you should dismiss Connect just because it currently hasn't got features you want, out of all the apps that currently exist I find Connect far and above the best, bugs have been fixed pretty quickly and it's just the closest feeling app for me personally to RIF with how clean it all is
