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.

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.

Thunder has been the most featured for me so far. It does collapse by time, and i am also able to subscribe to communities from new instances following the !community@instance.tld formatting.

I saw the announcement for that one, but I figured I'd leave off testing more for a little bit they mostly seem to be behind jerboa. Does liftoff support subscribing from instances your instance hasn't seen before already?

It has been the most polished experience so far for me, probably because they had the lemmur code base to begin with. As for adding communities, I'm not sure. The community search works like in Jerboa but I haven't tried it with new communities not indexed yet.

Just tried it out, but couldn't login since they don't have 2FA support yet. I don't think any of them really do yet, but if you logged in before setting it up the current apps still work. They got a PR for it so I guess I'll wait till that merges to try it out.
