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
I’m trying it out on my phone. And it’s functional for sure. But it doesn’t go back very far on android versions. My tablet that’s stuck on 10 can’t access it via play store.
It’s a bit garish on the dark theme, but that’s not important for an early stage of things.
No bugs that I’ve found that aren’t lemmy based rather than app based.
runs very smooth on my 5 year old phone. Some suggestions for improvement
- With All selected not all feeds were showing up on the sidebar
- Adding a compact layout for sidebar and comments
I switched over when the subreddits started going private. It’s been a lot of long nights haha.
Not my first app :)
My keyboard constantly tries to switch to caps as I type in Connect. I am using Grammarly. It will flicker the upper case layout between each key press. It’s unusable as it is.
The screen shots look good. I’ll download it and try it out. Let me know if you make a community for it so we can give back feedback on there. The more apps the merrier now that Reddit is getting rid of all them!
Thank you, let me know what you think! I made a community here: https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmyconnect
