Introducing Connect for Lemmy
(i.imgur.com)
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 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.
On Kbin, Lemmy groups are called "magazines," so all you have to do is go to the magazines list, search for what you want, and subscribe. You can even subscribe to magazines hosted on other servers from there.
Lemmy is not one thing, it's a way for different sites (called instances) to share content with each other.
What instances (i.e. domains) are you trying to create an account on? There have been some big bot waves in the last few days, but even without that every instance handles signup differently. Some are totally open, while others require manual review of some kind.
