Alternatives to Boost? - Lemmy.zip

I’ve been a long-time Boost user but it’s become almost unusable due to it failing to load images when using a Lemmy.zip account, possibly due to the Avif format. The app is updated infrequently, and people’s reports of the issue have been ignored. I’ve tried a few alternative clients, but none of them comes close to the experience. Summit can be made to look close, but still has weird color schemes and applies the color to the community names, making them stand out more than the post title. Voyager just uses the WebView on Android, feeling like using a web browser. Scrolling through posts on Raccoon is choppy. What’s everyone’s go-to app if not Boost?

I’m trying Blorp at the moment. Support for Piedfed is better than Boost at least. But sliding to go back from a post is wonky. The app seems heavily active at the moment, so let’s see how it goes.

Blorp dev here. Could you to more into detail about what’s wonky? I’ll see if I can improve it

When I swipe from left to right to go back from the comments of a post to the main posts list, I get little feedback from the animation and sometimes I have to do the gesture twice, three times. By contrast, the same gesture feels natural on Boost. 

Thanks for your time working on this app by the way!
