Any recommendations for a lemmy client with the least past of resistance coming from RiF? (lemmy.world)

As the title, suggest, jerboa feels really out of place coming from RiF, any recommendations to get a similar experience?

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.

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.
