Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.
Connect for Lemmy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
I use it, but some things are lacking. I find the mobile site better at the moment
Do you install the mobile site as a web app to your home screen? Otherwise it gets lost in a million tabs in my browser.
Yeah that's my approach
Connect is pretty good. Stil missing some important features, like block, and the instance name is missing from usernames and communities, which is a pretty major oversight, but other than that it's solid and being developped surprisingly fast.
Liftoff is basically a fork of the "old" Lemmur. It's kinda sad they don't even mention it anywhere on the repo :/ (they mention in the app's about page)
They all look cool, hopefully they add support for kbin in the future.
I'm using it, Jerboa, and standard mobile site. They each leave something to be desired, but each have their good points. I don't know why, but Connect seems slower, with images loading slower than the other two. Don't know why.
Been using it since yesterday after I saw this post. I like it! Not sure if I'll stick with this or Jerboa yet (or go to Sync when it's ready for Lemmy).
I've been using Connect for the last few days and so far really enjoy it. it's still missing a few features but I really like the UI.
It's awesome. I can tell I'll be anxious for each release to watch it mature.
Which of these apps allows me to hide posts? At this point that is the only feature I care about.
Connect works way better for me than Jerboa. My only irk is that it only runs at 60 Hz instead of 90 or 120, so scrolling feels sluggish compared to other apps.
Won't even open up on my galaxy fold 4 :(
I can confirm same on my fold 4 also.
Just trying it right now, great app
Much better! Feels more similar to the old app I was using for reddit.
This has to be the best looking Lemmy app I've used to far. Great job!
