The one with the Jerboa

darkstar ,

Out of those 2 options, I'd choose Voyager

Jerboa. It's the only social media I use.

DelilahBlack OP ,

I like the purple theme a lot

cali_ash ,

I would stop using lemmy.

ImplyingImplications ,

I switched away from Boost after it no longer worked with certain instances. I'm not sure if it's a dead project or what, but it gets no updates.

Bongles ,

It was updated last week.

ImplyingImplications ,

This is what half my communities look like

Bongles ,

If you care enough too you should submit it as a bug (if you haven't). It's for sure not a dead project.

ImplyingImplications ,

Good idea! I'll leave a comment on their lemmy communit-oh

I've just switched to FOSS app.

survivalmachine ,

Jerboa. It does the job, and does it well. Boost is slightly better for my needs, but not enough to overcome the non-free aspect.

MxRemy ,

Jerboa is awesome, I use every day!

Marketsupreme ,

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.

person ,

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

everett ,

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

Let me add to this by saying if there's something in Jerboa you don't like, you have the opportunity to change it by contributing.
Jerboa didn't have Mark As Read On Scroll so I added it.

That's why Jerboa is the best. Also, Boost has ads 🤮

Rentlar ,

I use Jerboa regularly, it's my jam. But I don't know why we'd need to limit ourselves to two anyway, even hypothetically. The myriad of apps with various features is Lemmy's and the Fediverse's strength.

Veritrax ,

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.

Daeraxa ,

Jerboa, I've looked at a few but Jerboa was the first one and I've got used to it.

ultranaut ,

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.

DelilahBlack OP ,

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

Jerboa.

I already use it and have never heard of Boost.

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.
