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.

Liftoff: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff

Which of these apps allows me to hide posts? At this point that is the only feature I care about.

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.

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)

I use it and it's a lot less buggy than Jerboa. I also like the UI a bit better.

I use it, but some things are lacking. I find the mobile site better at the moment

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.

I have since discovered https://wefwef.app

It is amazing. Basically an open-source clone of Apollo for reddit.

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

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.

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).

Won't even open up on my galaxy fold 4 :(

[-] baconeater@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I can confirm same on my fold 4 also.

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.

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

[-] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

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.
