I use Jerboa as well as my main lemmy client (Voyager being the stand by). I like the vintage feel of Jerboa, at the same time can’t deny the fact that Jerboa is the oldest and battle-tested client among all.
The only thing Jerboa is missing is a complete search functionality (currently it just searches for communities).
As soon as the capability to search for posts and communities (IIRC a bug was raised in Jan 2022 for this by dessalines himself) - Jerboa will arguably be the best lemmy app around.
Jerboa is also missing what I consider a necessary and basic feature of setting a default comment sort. If you want to see comments sorted by top then you have to make 2 extra clicks in every post you click into, it’s extremely frustrating.
I like Jerboa, and I’ve even donated to them, but it’s unusable in the current state. If you don’t care about changing comment sorting, I guess it’s fine, but I do.
One other thing that Jerboa has but very few other apps do - is the ability to automatically retrieve and put in the header of an article when you are about to post a URL of that article. IMO this is a basic feature that every app should have.
Too many bugs started popping up for me after code contributions flooded in, to the extent where the UI is not really navigatable on my device if the app is open for a few mins. That and the lag when scrolling comments, which I haven’t experienced in other apps.
Occasionally I check on it once in a while, but I no longer enjoy using it as much as I did previously

Agreed.

I still donate to Jerboa but I don’t use it.
