    The benefit is also it’s curse. It’s all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.

    But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.

    Which is a huge hurdle for new people 😬

      I have two apps, Voyager and Connect, one for me on my instance, one on lemmy.world. They show wildly different things 😊

        I loved connect, but the constant restarting and losing your spot drove me to Boost. Its basically exactly the same (minus a 2$ no ad fee) an it never loses my spot! Connect handled markdown considerably better though. Has the app crashing issue been fixed?

          Boost is fantastic for keeping my place. I just don’t have to worry about switching to the web to look something up, or even just to do some math. Even if the app gets killed in the background, you’ll be returned to where you were. It’s great, I wish every app could have such a good memory.

            Lucky ducky. Does it take you back to the start if you ever run another app? Even if I turned battery saver off for the app (besides it destroying my phones battery) it would still restart all the time.

              I don’t really get what you are saying but for me at least it’s a totally normally functioning app, no quirky stuff etc.
