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 like the general look of Connect, but the dark mode needs some work. When I click through a web link to a WebView, the web page's background and text are both dark, making the article basically impossible to read.
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.
I used Infinity up until yesterday, it’s going to be offered as a subscription app starting July 1. Connect is very similar, I like the way it works. I have Jerboa, haven’t used it yet.
Worth noting that the Jerboa app pushed a major update today and it's massively improved. Definitely suggest giving it another try after today, it feels like an entirely new app.
Jerboa has been very buggy for me the last few days: account switching doesn’t work, jerboa ignores my settings for what feeds to load at default, randomly losing my accounts and crashing.
I tried Connect and didn’t like its UI. The PWA isn’t very useful as the feed reloads from the top when I back out of a post by swiping from the edge.
I tried to sign up on lemm.ee with Jerboa and it would give me constant server error messages...but Conned is great so far. Like the layout better as well 👍
Connect is pretty good. Stil missing some important features, like block, and the instance name is missing from usernames and communities, which is a pretty major oversight, but other than that it’s solid and being developped surprisingly fast.
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).
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.
