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
Only just found Connect and its very good IMO
I tried to sign up on lemm.ee with Jerboa and it would give me constant server error messages...but Connect is great so far. Like the layout better as well 👍
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.
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.
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)
It's awesome. I can tell I'll be anxious for each release to watch it mature.
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.
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).
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 love it! reminds me of infinity for reddit.
