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.

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.

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

They all look cool, hopefully they add support for kbin in the future.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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.

I beg you Fediverse developers; consider releasing to Fdroid too. :(

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