What client do Android users use for Lemmy these days? I've been using Jerboa from the start but it's a bit basic and lacks any good search functionality. So I want to try some others. What do other Android users recommend?

Things I like about Jerboa:

  • It just works. It's pretty simple.
  • It has actual private browsing in app. You never have to leave the app and it knows how to never save your history.
  • It can do the above even when setting your main browser to Firefox (so as blocking works even in open links in app).

Things I don't like about Jerboa:

  • Text entry is oftentimes buggy.
  • Lack of any decent search for communities or in threads.
  • No draft capability.

I'm using Voyager because Star Trek.

Works very well except for one problem, it doesn't remember the last thread or community I was on I switch apps and android kills in background.

It's particularly annoying when I follow a link and when I come back to comment on it Voyager is back on Home and the thread lost forever.

Or when I'm in the middle to writing a comment but want to quickly fact check something but when I come back I get a message saying that my comment was saved, nice. But still can't go back to the thread I was to finish it.

Apart from that I'm satisfied with it.
