I keep trying new Lemmy apps. Some are very good, polished, and will work for most people. No disrespect to any of the third-party apps - I keep rotating between a few to see which I’ll end up using most. Not knocking any of them. But I just keep coming back to Jerboa. Usually, the third-party apps will just be missing that little something. And on the rare occasion I feel like Jerboa needs a feature that another app already has implemented, bam, it’s in the next update (such as DMing users in this update). Not here to suck on that Jerboa peepee, but just wanted to say thanks. With all the appreciation posts going around for the new hotness apps, there’s still some of us that appreciate the classic and all the work put into it by the various contributors.
Honestly Jerboa is so polished that it feels like an android system app.
The scrolling lag is still an issue though. Go from Summit, Voyager, or Sync to Jerboa and it’s definitely noticeably worse.
I only tried Liftoff and the lag was significantly worse there. Maybe they fixed it by now. As for Jerboa it isn’t that bad that it would bother me much. Honestly I’m not even noticing it anymore.
It’s funny. I hadn’t really noticed it til the comment pointing it out made me think about it. It’s still not enough to bother me, but I will say that other apps do feel smoother when casually scrolling the feed.
But do they have such a clean and minimalist UI like Jerboa? I really love how this app sticks to the flat and simlke material UI without any visual clutter. I mean have you seen the size of the app? It’s some few megabites!
I wonder if it has to do with preloading images and stuff to make the scrolling smoother. This could be a negative for people on mobile data that don’t have unlimited data plans. If that’s the case, being able to toggle preloading on wifi only might be something other apps would want to implement.
I’m writing this on Infinity for Lemmy and wow, I think I found my new home.
Thank you, this app is great
Is the prevalence of html escape sequences in post/comment text like
&and a Jerboa problem or a Lemmy problem?A lemmy problem. We’ve started sanitizing the html as a short term fix due to the monumental amount of extremely creative XSS attacks people have been inventing.
Lemmy 18.3 added it html sanitation which doesn’t seem to be properly configured
I’m on connect and don’t see any HTML
