While the apps we have now are really great, I think that number will go back up a bit once boost and sync for Lemmy are released.

I find myself missing so many features I would consider super basic from Boost. Things that would make my Lemmy experience so much better. Even if the apps we have now do those things, they feel clunky and not as good.

Even features aside, the UI makes a huge difference. There are a few Reddit apps I personally couldn't get into, because of font sizes, spacing, contrast, etc. I'm feeling the same way with Lemmy. I'm tolerating the app I currently use, only because I know Boost is on the way.

Yeah, same here with Infinity

It was my app of choice and I got so use to it, whenever I go back to it every once and a while, I just remember everything I miss since switching to jerboa

Biggest one is definitely the smoothness, idk y but jerboa has a subtly noticable stutter every time I swipe around the feeds, whereas Infinity is completely smooth, running at 90hz flawlessly

And there's alot of other small QoL and rough-around-the-edges things, too

The minute that Infinity for Lemmy comes out, if at all, is the minute that I return to my home app

Honestly I'm liking Liftoff more than I liked Infinity. Maybe you could try that.

I used connect for a while, it was ok, then liftoff, it was a little better, but I've been using voyager as of late and it's been really nice.
