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.

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 Conned is great so far. Like the layout better as well 👍

I use it and it's a lot less buggy than Jerboa. I also like the UI a bit better.

I use it, but some things are lacking. I find the mobile site better at the moment

Do you install the mobile site as a web app to your home screen? Otherwise it gets lost in a million tabs in my browser.

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.

The rate these are coming out are astounding.

[–] sibloure@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Absolutely. I've since found another one I like even more: https://wefwef.app

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.

It's awesome. I can tell I'll be anxious for each release to watch it mature.

[–] Cyder@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] TheGiantKorean@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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).

[–] Denzo@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
