Hey I figured I'd make a post and see the state of current lemmy appage, since I'm looking for a good one. So far I've used Jerboa, Thunder, Eternity, and Voyager.

Eternity seems to be a dead project, it's full of bugs and hasn't recieved an update since The Exodus

Thunder seems ok and is what I'm using right now, but I can't seem to send direct messages, and can't "Don't blur NSFW preview on NSFW comms" which sucks. The messaging is the dealbreaker for me.

Voyager I used momentarily but the UI was not my favorite.

Jerboa seems OK if unpolished (which is ok to me) but I don't trust the rabid idealogue that makes it and using another instance of his site is one thing, but installing an app is another. Has it been audited to confirm lack of spyware?

Ideally through this I can find one with instance blocking, DMs, and a decent UI. What're your experiences with the current state of lemmy apps?

So far I tried voyager, eternity, liftoff and Jerboa. Liftoff wasn't usable and eternity and voyager weren't exactly my type of UI. I stick with jerboa. I really like the simplicity and how clean and intuitive it is. Only thing lacking is the ability to create communities.

Only thing lacking is the ability to create communities.

Seems weird that it's not implemented. I guess they assume you're not supposed to create communities every day.

Yeah, but I would really like that swing implemented.
