What lemmy android app do you recommend? I have too many problems with jerboa. My problems with jerboa:

When I write a pm to someone it sends that message to myself
Language of the interface is Polish (my first language) and I can't change it to english (at least on the version that I'm on rn)
Scrolling is very buggy (it stutters a lot)
Often when I want to make a comment it doesn't send it and I have to go to my pc an rewrite my comment to be able to send it
It doesn't play gifs on the feed by default, I have to open the image to play the gif
It doesn't play gifs in the comments at all and there's no way for me to play them
There are no embeds for videos (not sure if there's any mobile app that has that)
etc.

What I'm looking for:

An app with developed UI/UX
Obligatory dark mode
Something that resolves my problems with jerboa

Any recommendations or apps that I should follow the development of?

I use Firefox for Android. It works perfectly, everything is usable, good UX, has dark mode, and the app even works for other websites!

You can even install the ublock extension to block all ads & trackers in opened links, or use it to block large images by default to save data. And you can install the tampermonkey extension to add this userscript I made, which rewrites all links everywhere (not only on Lemmy) to always point to your home instance. It helps a lot with subscribing to communities and in general makes browsing the web and finding Lemmy links nicer.

I honestly don't see the reason why you'd want to use a separate app.
