Title. I’ve got an Android phone, wondering if anyone has tried this Connect app. Just heard about it.
I am trying it out now! I like the layout / UI; reminds me of Boost and Joey which I liked a lot. One thing that bothers me is the colour scheme, though. In light mode it’s blue (?) and dark mode is more like some weird grey mode, and I’d prefer it to be a darker grey like in most apps (perhaps it could be more customisable so that people can change it to fit their preferences).
I was using Jerboa but swapped it out to being highly unstable. now trying out Connect, the UI feels more familiar to me (used Boost for Reddit), I am sticking with Connect for now I reckon.
Yeah, it’s decent. The aesthetics are iffy, but it works well
I’m using it right now; I was having some issues with Jerboa. the interface is nice, it is a bit choppy when scrolling sometimes, and it did crash when I initially opened it but I’m willing to give it a shot
What kinda source is that? Is everyone here just installing random apks from random sites?

I didn’t love it at first, but its starting to grow on me, think i might stick with it over Jerboa but we’ll see.
The one problem i have with it is thesign out
button being too close to therefresh
button on the three dot menu.I’m trying it out and like it so far. It still needs work though. There’s a lag when registering upvotes and downvotes. Seems stable and I don’t get as many error messages as Jeroba. Comments and content seems to load faster than Jeroba.
Works really well for me as a basic reader (I only just now made an account). I switched to it after Jerboa started crashing for me, and I’ll probably keep trying new things for a while as everything is still up in the air.
Right now I’m trialing Jerboa, Connect, Lemmy, and Liftoff. Jerboa is frozen for me until lemmy.world updates to 18.1 but I really like it. I like Liftoff and Connect, too, so I’ll keep trying them as they continue to develop and decide down the line which I like best.
Solution for the Jerboa thing.
Where do I find this Liftoff app?
Also interested in liftoff.
I’ve been enjoying Summit for Lemmy too, available on the play store
Man, it looks great. I can’t sign in to my instance for some reason, though. :(
I can’t either. I don’t think v0.18 is supported yet.
Looks like the dev released an update fixing sign in to v18 instances
So he’s formed it from Lemmur, cool!
Suggestion, just link to the releases page. The latest will be on top. A new version v.0.9.8 was released 20 min ago.
Thanks!
Currently using it and it’s working pretty well there is some missing stuff yet but I think it will be improved soon.
So far I’m into Connect, nice modern interface, uses my Material You theming and very close to what I was using before for Reddit. Very solid
It’s the first and only lemmy app working on my old 2015 android phone.
Great to have backwards compatible options. I also like it :)
It has a nice interface, modern. But it lack optimization and it looks like it scrolls at 30hz on my 90hz phone, kinda hurts my eyes
I’m using Connect for Lemmy. Prefer it over Jerboa overall but I’m unable to add more than one account the moment.
Is there an official community for Connect for Lemmy?
I have it! I go between that and jerboa. I appreciate the ui a lot. Sometimes I have trouble reading the comments sections, but I’m getting used to it. I’ve emailed the dev actually and he responded quickly and reached out after an update to see if my bugs were fixed.
I say give it a shot
