    Since no one mentioned this: Jerboa simply because it’s FOSS.

      Seriously. Open source OS and server, but hey, let me just connect the two with a proprietary app.

    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

      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.
