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
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)
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.
I have since discovered https://wefwef.app
It is amazing. Basically an open-source clone of Apollo for reddit.
They all look cool, hopefully they add support for kbin in the future.
Which of these apps allows me to hide posts? At this point that is the only feature I care about.
This has to be the best looking Lemmy app I've used to far. Great job!
I'm missing the ability to collapse threads, but otherwise it's very sleek Edit: nevermind you just need to hold the top comment for one second
It's awesome. I can tell I'll be anxious for each release to watch it mature.
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.
I use it and it's a lot less buggy than Jerboa. I also like the UI a bit better.
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).
Won't even open up on my galaxy fold 4 :(
I can confirm same on my fold 4 also.
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.
Wow. This app is really nice at first glance. I like the gesture to swipe left on a comment to upvote. Reminds me of Sync for Reddit!
I like the general look of Connect, but the dark mode needs some work. When I click through a web link to a WebView, the web page's background and text are both dark, making the article basically impossible to read.
Hi Connect dev here. I'll see what I can do about fixing that! Thank you for the feedback.
I've been using in for a few days alongside with jerboa and I'm not sure which one I prefer yet, I really like both. I prefer jerboa look wise, but I like some of the little shortcuts connect has.
Connect comes up on duckduckgo tracking attempt block list, the only tracker is google so far, Jerboa has yet to show up.
