Introducing Connect for Lemmy (Android)
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/831266
Hi lemmings, I switched over from Reddit 10 days ago now but I couldn't find a mobile client that I was happy with with an experience similar to the Reddit experience I was used to. So I decided to build my own and I hope you will like it as well!
Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Features:
- Material U
- Dark and Light themes
- List view / Card view / Fullwidth view
- Filter lists for hiding posts
- Multiple accounts + switcher across multiple instances
- Guest accounts for viewing an instance without signup
- Search and community autofill
- Markdown support + attempt to navigate links correctly (/u/foo will open that user instead of browser kickout. Same for /c/, !, and @)
- Saving posts
- full sort types
- NSFW view options (hide, blur, show)
- copy text and url on all posts and comments
- add comments, replies, and new posts
- comment replies with line indicators
Here's other screenshots:
Future plans:
- Improving the inbox
- Swipe actions
- Multi-~~reddit ~~communities
Thank you for taking a look. I hope others who are migrating from Reddit like me will find the app useful and I'd love to know your thoughts!
Edit: Community for the app is here: https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmyconnect
Checking it out now!
I'll give it a shot!
What about the license? is it open source?
I'm not the developer (and don't know the answer to your question). I just cross-posted to increase visibility (and put it in the 'right' community). https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmyconnect is probably the right place to get answers.
Very nice! This is the first app that I've tried that can sort comments!
Is there a way to collapse comment threads? That would be really nice but I can't find it yet.
edit: Yes, you can long press a comment, and it will collapse the thread
It looks A LOT like Infinity for Reddit, which is open-source.
I can't find a way to search communities!
Bravo for building it. I wish you luck.
Wow that looks really good for only a few days work. I'm impressed
The app looks nice but once I sign in it's unable to load any posts, messages or anything except a partial list of communities I'm subscribed to

Tried it out a bit today. To be honest it would be great if not for the fact that it seems to have lots of duplicated subthreads and duplicated comments, resulting in an intermittent state of déjà vu. If that's ironed out I'd certainly look at it again.
I'm not the author of the app or in any way related. I merely cross posted it to give it more visibility since I was so happy to see it :)
