Jerboa lacks a lot of customization features but hopefully it keeps improving. Sync was my absolutely favourite though and if LJ can replicate those features in the lemmy app it'll be a no-brainer for me to use Sync.
Yeah every single app I've tried so far, and the web UI, has this "modern" design aesthetic which basically means a lot of wasted screen space and having to scroll more to see what could easily fit on the screen at one time.
Best thing about RIF was the density of information, which you could customize how you see fit. Waiting patiently for an app in that vein
That is what was so great about Apollo too. It was like a whole different experience from their disgusting app made from the charred remains of Alien Blue.
