    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.

        Agreed.

        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.
