This is just a rant post about the shortage and quality of currently available Lemmy apps on Android… I started with Jerboa, and honestly was pleasantly surprised at its feature set. But it looks… off. I recently started using Connect. I myself (using another account) like to post content, particularly GIFs (hard G btw). Perhaps this issue is simply embedded into mobile apps for Lemmy in general, but I can see the GIFs on desktop just fine… And not on either mobile app. Keeping in mind the GIFs are hyperlinked, not attached. It all just feels sloppy.
Anyways, I can’t wait for Boost… It was the only reason I ever even got into Reddit. I hope it helps with some of these issues, although in my particular case, it may come down to how Lemmy handles gif/image links on mobile.

Same here - I was pleasantly surprised at how similar it felt as a newcomer from Reddit to Lemmy. Sure it’s definitely buggy, but it’s version 0.18, nowhere near a 1.0 release so that was expected. Honestly I can’t get mad at that when I’m enjoying the fruits of multiple others’ labor and passion for free, when I didn’t even expect there to be a single App out there for Lemmy in the first place. Naturally I’m excited for boost to release but Jerboa feels pretty nice to me too.
