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'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
Hi, there's also a setting to make comments collapse on single tap instead of long press.
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.
If I am logged into Lemmy.ml, can I reply in other instances' posts like in any one of beehaw's?
Looks like you can.
Thanks for confirming. I am new here and thought others can't see my comments haha.
I use it, but some things are lacking. I find the mobile site better at the moment
They all look cool, hopefully they add support for kbin in the future.
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 use it and it's a lot less buggy than Jerboa. I also like the UI a bit better.
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.
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).
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.
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.
