I’ve mostly used Liftoff, and for the most part I really like it. However, I find that Liftoff, like many other Lemmy apps, doesn’t scratch my itch for very small posts on the front page.
I don’t enjoy scrolling constantly to browse, I prefer the feel of something like rif without cards as seen below
I got a little exasperated after trying a bunch of apps and sifting through settings, so I’m wondering if any of you fine folks have suggestions for me.
In Jerboa android app, Settings / Look and feel / Post view, pick list view.
Very similar format to the screenshot attached to the original post.
Connect with the “reverse card” view works exactly how you would like it
Voyager has the best compact mode I’ve found although the post. image preview is on the left instead of the right like on RIF. I still love the app and have been using it way more than any others.
Edit: there’s a screenshot of Voyager in my post history. It was called wefwef at the time but it’s still the same post design if you wanted to see what it looks like.
Wefwef app is now called voyager app. Try that
Jerboa has List view:
Thunder has a compact list view:
Basically every Lemmy/Reddit client does, including Liftoff. Not sure if OP poked around the settings to find the switch.
