I like to have posts and comments as small as possible, without large pictures being downloaded before I click the post, and it must have a dark mode.
I also tried Jerboa and Voyager, and while they’re also customizable, I couldn’t get it exactly right. Maybe it’s possible now, but I can’t be bothered to keep up to date on three apps when Connect does it just fine.
I’m not sure what any of them look like by default. I basically set out to recreate the way I used RiF for Reddit, which also wasn’t the default.
Might be a hold over from Reddit is Fun but I can’t say I’m keen on the way the voting is displayed there. Seems to take up too much real estate maybe?
Either way, I’m not a fan of colouring certain text or the lines dividing each post. Both these things make is too busy for my taste.
Then again, maybe I’m just bland.
Here’s what posts look like in my compact configuration of Jerboa:
I haven’t used Jerboa in ages because of how buggy it was in the beginning, but that looks very pleasing to me as well. So many of the apps out there just look too “busy” for me. I am also coming from Reddit is Fun, so I like as simplistic looking an app as possible. Voyager fills that role for me and fixed the bugginess issues I had with Jerboa.
I’m sure Jerboa is much more stable now, but I just haven’t had a reason to leave Voyager yet.
Connect.

I’ve been using Jerboa for that reason. Condensed information so I’m not constantly scrolling.
What’s Connect look like for you?
