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 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

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.

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

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)

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

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've been using in for a few days alongside with jerboa and I'm not sure which one I prefer yet, I really like both. I prefer jerboa look wise, but I like some of the little shortcuts connect has.

Connect comes up on duckduckgo tracking attempt block list, the only tracker is google so far, Jerboa has yet to show up.

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).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I love it! reminds me of infinity for reddit.

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.
