Jerboa was the first showing up on F-Droid and so far it's great: minimalistic, responsive, lightweight (only 2MB or so). Don't know why so many people are developing apps and not simply joining efforts. Makes me think they're doing it for the purpose of doing it, and because they're happy to work on an app and get their software engineering brain occupied by their own little project. But what will happen once this sentiment passes? Who's gonna maintain these apps? What we need is one robust app everyone is working on together.

Jerboa is absolutely not laggy on my side. Find it super responsive and lightweight instead. it's only 2MB

what's impressive is that they still do have many hundreds of costly engineers and their site is now shit. Mastodon on the other end is working pretty well, being administrated by a bunch of volunteer sysadmins. i like this 😇

on Jerboa it was long press but they fixed it in recent releases. now just press once on the comment and it collapses. i was missing that but now the UX is great

yes my dear sir

wouldn't say this is an unpopular opinion. many people share your pov

could you work w/ Jerboa devs to merge your changes upstream instead of forking?

totally true

combine efforts guys!!

haha exactly what happened here

true, i do have that same hitch that you describe when it's fetching more posts. but that's not too big of an issue for me either. i guess adding a bit of pre-fetching would solve it.

haha upvoting because your rant made me laugh
