    I’m pretty sure Lemmy has also gone down a lot recently based on the number of upvotes things are getting

      While the apps we have now are really great, I think that number will go back up a bit once boost and sync for Lemmy are released.

      I find myself missing so many features I would consider super basic from Boost. Things that would make my Lemmy experience so much better. Even if the apps we have now do those things, they feel clunky and not as good.

      Even features aside, the UI makes a huge difference. There are a few Reddit apps I personally couldn’t get into, because of font sizes, spacing, contrast, etc. I’m feeling the same way with Lemmy. I’m tolerating the app I currently use, only because I know Boost is on the way.

        If you haven’t tried it (or have but not recently), Thunder is getting better by leaps and bounds week over week - highly recommend checking it out! I’m still really excited for Boost but I think as Thunder continues to mature it will likely be my daily driver. Great that it’s open source, too!

          I use thunder and for the most part, it’s great. I would love to be able to delete comments and copy text from other comments without needing to open a reply window, though. I think this functionality would fit perfectly as a long-press menu.

          Also, sometimes on posts with lots of comments, not all of the comments will load, and there is no easy way to force the app to refresh.

            I believe deleting comments is either getting implemented or refreshed in the upcoming release! If you’re comfortable running nightly builds from GitHub they’re usually quite stable (probably because they’re not really nightly, hahah). If you don’t mind filing bug reports/feature requests on GitHub, I’m sure the team can take a look at the other issues!
