If there were no other options between those two apps for lemmy, which one would be your go to?
Since no one mentioned this: Jerboa simply because it’s FOSS.
Seriously. Open source OS and server, but hey, let me just connect the two with a proprietary app.
Let me add to this by saying if there’s something in Jerboa you don’t like, you have the opportunity to change it by contributing. Jerboa didn’t have Mark As Read On Scroll so I added it.
That’s why Jerboa is the best. Also, Boost has ads 🤮
Boost. It was my go to on reddit for 6+ years. The developer is solo and has a fantastic user interface. Jerboa is clunky and slow. Wasn’t a fan.
I use Jerboa regularly, it’s my jam. But I don’t know why we’d need to limit ourselves to two anyway, even hypothetically. The myriad of apps with various features is Lemmy’s and the Fediverse’s strength.
Eternity is the way.
Eternity is also my client of choice but come on, OP specifically asked for only Jerboa or Boost.
It’s a nonsense question though as there are more options
Jerboa, I’ve looked at a few but Jerboa was the first one and I’ve got used to it.
Jerboa.
I already use it and have never heard of Boost.
It’s pretty good, not open source but there’s just one dev, so he probably just doesn’t want people to see his code for whatever reason.
Jerboa is awesome, I use every day!
I would stop using lemmy.
Jerboa. It does the job, and does it well. Boost is slightly better for my needs, but not enough to overcome the non-free aspect.
I switched away from Boost after it no longer worked with certain instances. I’m not sure if it’s a dead project or what, but it gets no updates.
It was updated last week.
This is what half my communities look like
If you care enough too you should submit it as a bug (if you haven’t). It’s for sure not a dead project.
Good idea! I’ll leave a comment on their lemmy communit-oh
I’ve just switched to FOSS app.
