A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

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

The screenshots look good, but I'm not able to test it because it's not available in the netherlands :(

Looks great! I'll also chime in that the Play Store website tells me it's not available for any of my devices, and the Play Store app says it's not available in my country (Chile).

[–] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Added Chile to the list! Will be available in an hour or so I think.

I'm checking it out and it looks beautiful!

Question: does it have collapsible comments and if not is that a planned feature?

[–] Xero@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago

It looks and feels great. I'm guessing that Frontpage is meant to be Federation. Also the comment boxes need more definition and text options.

Otherwise, it's decking beautiful. Leaps and bounds above Jerboa.

I can't even be accepted to join Lemmy. I'm on Kbin right now.

Tbh, these platforms confuse me. The Kbin app is great though, so I guess I don't need to change.

Would like to know how to follow a group though.

[–] PaintedSnail@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

On Kbin, Lemmy groups are called "magazines," so all you have to do is go to the magazines list, search for what you want, and subscribe. You can even subscribe to magazines hosted on other servers from there.

I love the app! I just wanted to give you some debug info. I can't log into a second account on my current andoid tablet or andoid 10 phone. The button to do so does nothing.

[–] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Hi! could you confirm you're on the latest version? it should say 1.0.31 under settings

[–] Aboyandhistrains 2 points 2 years ago

That fixed it! You and your team are working very fast! Keep up the good work! It is appreciated!

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
[–] Hovercat90@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey, i like your app a lot! Jerboa doesnt work on my Motorola, so i installed your app. Looks very nice and works well as a first impression!

I just want to tell you good luck, we are all counting on you! :D

[–] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you @Hovercat90@feddit.de! I'm glad you like it.

more feedback, when I reply to a topic, I would like for my reply to be on top so that I can easily see replies to it and edit it and stuff. (Uhh I just refreshed and both were at the top. I just be crazy or slow)

case in point, I made a mistake in my other comment thinking that the colored lines on the sides of comment chains weren't there (they very much are, I'm clearly blind).

Also for some reason the comment box doesn't auto capitalize the first letter of a sentence.

[–] Scary_le_Poo 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

so far I'm really liking it. I would like alternating backgrounds on comments just to help separate them out a little.

I don't see the ability to edit my comments. I had to pull up the pwa to edit this one.

[–] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hi, thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you're liking it! I've added some more spacing between comments on the latest release which should help to separate them. Please let me know what you think! Also added the ability to edit comments.
