I switched to jerboa. When I would post to Lemmy from Lemmur, i had to pick from a pull down list of all the communities which also took forever to load. I also had weird issues with the text input field, if I tried to autocomplete a word, it would type out the whole word but leave the part i'd already typed, so like "rapscallion" would be "rapscarapscallion." The grass is definitely greener over here.

I had the exact same issue with lemmur. But when I downloaded jerboa and tried to do anything it was unresponsive mostly. I could look at posts but could not log in or vote or comment.
I have the same issue it drives me nuts. That's why I'm back on lemmur as well.
I was wondering the same thing. I was having issues with Lemmur and decided to log out and log back in. Unfortunately, when I log in it never fully loads. The circle just spins and spins and never logs me in. I even reinstalled the app but no luck.
It hasn't been updated in months. It's a shame as I thought it was an incredibly slick and aesthetically pleasing app. If it ever gets updated I'll certainly come back, but in the meantime I'll stick with the less slick looking but much more functional Jerboa.
They started making commits in the github so hopefully an update is forthcoming
They probably are focusing on jerboa, and I support it (even if I like lemmur more at this time)
Jerboa is made by different person
Dessalines, am I right? Should be one of the main developers of lemmy, and AFAIK one of the main contributor of lemmur. Maybe I'm mixing things up
No, you're correct.
That's good but it is also good for there to be a plurality of clients. One reason why Reddit did so well I think is because of how they built it to be client neutral compared to facebook or even twitter.
Of course, but jerboa should be a better base for future clients, since it's a native-android client
