Jerboa. It's pretty bad though, I wouldn't even really call it "usable" since it crashes so much, had to just browse on Firefox on my phone.
It just started, though. I'm sure once they get over the hiccough of the influx of new users, itll run smoother.
I haven't had any issues with crashing (so far).
Yeah, I know, I do hope it gets better though, and I'll be checking in on every new version they release. But the pessimist in me thinks many open source project has a tendency to not care about UX at all even after years of development (see: RetroArch on Android), which I hope won't be true for Lemmy/Jerboa.
I usually spell it "hiccup". Huh.
Its an older spelling, sir, but it checks out.
And to be fair, I've definitely hic-coughed before too
In my experience, Jerboa is like 85% there. It is buggy sometimes, but it's much easier for me to use. It also has a true dark mode which looks fantastic on an OLED.
I don't think I've had a single crash apart from when clicking on a lemmy link
You call it a crash, I call it a quick exit button /s
It is remarkably quick! Very efficient crash
I find Jerboa times out quite a lot, never quite sure if my posts go through
I haven't had any issues other than not being able to reply to comment responses I get.
You know, in Jerboa, I can't even access half the settings. Just doesn't let me scroll. Don't know if it's just me.
What device / os are you using it on? I have it on a Pixel 4a and it works with no issues that I've noticed, been smooth sailing. Coming from RIF it also feels fairly familiar.
Definitely some things I'm missing on jerboa. There's no way to go to a post directly from your notification feed which is like... A crucial thing to be able to do.
