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 beg you Lemmy developers; consider releasing to Fdroid too. :(
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).
This has to be the best looking Lemmy app I've used to far. Great job!
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.
Thanks, I really appreciate it! Let me know if you need any more details.
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!
Just trying it right now, great app
Much better! Feels more similar to the old app I was using for reddit.
I used Infinity up until yesterday, it's going to be offered as a subscription app starting July 1. Connect is very similar, I like the way it works. I have Jerboa, haven't used it yet.
Just installed it. It's great!
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.
Well done to whoever is behind this app. Been using it a couple of days now, and it's hard to fault it. You must have worked your butt off.
