I keep trying new Lemmy apps. Some are very good, polished, and will work for most people. No disrespect to any of the third-party apps - I keep rotating between a few to see which I’ll end up using most. Not knocking any of them. But I just keep coming back to Jerboa. Usually, the third-party apps will just be missing that little something. And on the rare occasion I feel like Jerboa needs a feature that another app already has implemented, bam, it’s in the next update (such as DMing users in this update). Not here to suck on that Jerboa peepee, but just wanted to say thanks. With all the appreciation posts going around for the new hotness apps, there’s still some of us that appreciate the classic and all the work put into it by the various contributors.
I wonder if it has to do with preloading images and stuff to make the scrolling smoother. This could be a negative for people on mobile data that don’t have unlimited data plans. If that’s the case, being able to toggle preloading on wifi only might be something other apps would want to implement.
what i dislike about jerboa is that external links are opened in the browser instead of the app build in browser and my browser history gets spammed bc of that.

Honestly Jerboa is so polished that it feels like an android system app.
The scrolling lag is still an issue though. Go from Summit, Voyager, or Sync to Jerboa and it’s definitely noticeably worse.
I tried Infinity just now too and it also feels instant to scroll there.
Not sure what they are doing but some apps feel very quick and other don’t.

Yeah, that is one feature I’d like to see - links opened in-app. I’m sure there’s a way to request features.
Settings > look and feel > custom tabs & private custom tabs
Does that help?
omg thats awesome, its such a weird wording Better would be: Open links in App
Well, I’ll be. I didn’t associate that phrasing with that, but I think it worked. Thanks!
I’ve solved this and similar issues in other apps by using Better Open With along with Firefox Focus
i have firefox for android installed, and it seems to open in an in-app firefox pane.
I’m writing this on Infinity for Lemmy and wow, I think I found my new home.
