      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.

    Jerboa. I tried Boost but don’t remember it, Jerboa I still have installed and use occasionally.

    Is there a reason you’re limited to one or the other? There’s a bunch of different Lemmy apps out there that are great besides just those two.

      I guess the only reason is because there are so many. Let’s say we lost most of those options, and those were the only two contenders line which would you choose. That’s all

    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.

      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.

    I started with Jerboa for a few months but I think I’ve settled in Connect now. If I had to pick between Jerboa and Boost though I’d pick Jerboa.

    Jerboa, I’ve looked at a few but Jerboa was the first one and I’ve got used to it.

    Out of those 2 options, I’d choose Voyager

    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.
