A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hi lemmings, I switched over from Reddit 10 days ago now but I couldn't find a mobile client that I was happy with with an experience similar to the Reddit experience I was used to. So I decided to build my own and I hope you will like it as well!

Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect

Features:

  • Material U
  • Dark and Light themes
  • List view / Card view / Fullwidth view
  • Filter lists for hiding posts
  • Multiple accounts + switcher across multiple instances
  • Guest accounts for viewing an instance without signup
  • Search and community autofill
  • Markdown support + attempt to navigate links correctly (/u/foo will open that user instead of browser kickout. Same for /c/, !, and @)
  • Saving posts
  • full sort types
  • NSFW view options (hide, blur, show)
  • copy text and url on all posts and comments
  • add comments, replies, and new posts
  • comment replies with line indicators

Here's other screenshots:

Future plans:

  • Improving the inbox
  • Swipe actions
  • Multi-~~reddit ~~communities

Thank you for taking a look. I hope others who are migrating from Reddit like me will find the app useful and I'd love to know your thoughts!

Edit: Community for the app is here: https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmyconnect

I'm able to sign in but no posts populate the feed. Also only a small amount of my subscriptions show up in the sidebar.

Have you considered creating a community for your app? Would make it a lot easier to follow development

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I made one, it's empty right now but I'll post new releases + changelogs there. https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmyconnect

I can't even be accepted to join Lemmy. I'm on Kbin right now.

Tbh, these platforms confuse me. The Kbin app is great though, so I guess I don't need to change.

Would like to know how to follow a group though.

Downloaded and used for an hour or so. I'd like to see an option to change the font size. I like my stuff to be small so I can get more content on the screen. 1.6 posts is pretty bad for me. I also couldn't find a way to change my default homepage to "subscribed - new" but maybe I just didn't search hard enough. Either way, it's good to have some competition for Jerboa!

Edit: Found Frontpage. Might be worth changing this to Subscribed since that seems to be the Lemmy equivalent.

I'd also love to see an option to change the font size, but for the opposite reason - my eyes suck and I need bigger text! Lol. I love it so far either way!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Options for text sizes coming up in the next release :)

I cannot find out how to change to list view.

EDIT: For some reason the play store didn't download the most recent version. Fixed now.

The list view only showslike 2 posts on the screen. Is there anyway to get multiple posts on the screen at once?

I may be wrong but, are you not showing all communities subscribed in the list, just the first page? I see 10 but im subbed to somewere closer to 50...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah 10 I believe is the default limit on that API call. I'll increase that in the next release!

Will this app be compatible with kbin.social accounts? I've tried to sign in and it's throwing a whole page of an error message.
