π to all the newcomers, let me know if you need any help getting settled in!
Iβm on Connect, I hope the UI gets better, Lemmy has a lot of potential but it needs work
Weβll have a ton of high quality options soon. Lots of the Reddit app devs are working on Lemmy apps. I wouldnβt be surprised if almost all the ui code can be reused
Just tried installing Wefwef, and the first thing that hits me, is the lack of dark mode under appearance settings. Am I blind, or is that not a thing in Wefwef?
EDIT: Liftoff feels rather nice, the menus need a little getting used to (and that big obnoxious β+β in the middle of everything), but overall it seems like a nice experience.
Not sure if any of these are better than Connect, but Iβll keep them all installed and keep using them in shifts, to see which one feels better.
EDIT: 2 weeks later Iβve switched full-time to Liftoff.
I think when I tried it wefwef was dark. It probably defaults to your system theme
Connect looks nice and is fast, but itβs really buggy too. But early days. In a month or two we should have a few more good options. Really looking forward to some great Reddit apps coming to Lemmy.
Connect dev here. Iβm getting those bugs ironed out! Iβm also a Reddit migrant and the app has only been live for about 9 days now.
Sorry, didnβt want to diss you there. This is crazy impressive for the short time frame.
All the apps are in early and rapid development and I am looking forward to what is going to happen in the months to come.
My point was only the (obviously unfair) comparison to Reddit apps that have years under their belts. But Lemmy apps will get there too.
Thank you for your work! Connect is the only Android app for lemmy that works on my EMUI/Nougat phone, so Iβm really grateful I stumbled upon it. Thunder, liftoff and the likes canβt connect, probably because of the old WebView version Iβm using - the newer ones sadly fuck with Midori Lite :(
Iβve just installed Connect earlier today and immensely enjoy it so far! Iβm looking forward to maybe some additional Themes; and donβt worry 'bout the bugs too much, Iβm sure youβve got the few main ones in your sights and will figure stuff out soon enough! :) β Keep up the good deeds!
Try wefwef (the name sucks, idk why they picked it)
Itβs a web app thatβs really clean looking and smooth. Wish they would add a top (day/week/month) sort though for postings
Yeah it exists for comments but not for posts in communities for whatever reason. Liftoff has a sort by top (day, week, month) available to sort by in communities
