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.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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

Looks amazing! I'll try it out!

The app is cool and I'll probably continue using it. The card view also seems to crop the images. If that's the intended behaviour, please add a view showing the full images. Thanks (Android 12, Samsung s10e)

I'll make the Fullwidth view show the full uncropped image (scaled to fit) in the next release. Thank you for your feedback!

Any chance of adding Kbin logins?

[–] garrettw87@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not quite that easy, unfortunately, as we don’t have an API yet, but it is being worked on.

[–] Trono@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Man, this Lemmy guy should really charge for his API access, I bet he could make a hell of a lot of money and nobody would even be upset!

[–] MisterMoo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Kbin will continue to be profit driven until profits arrive!

[–] Jcb2016@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like Infinity! looks promising

[–] Pbody@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Will this app be compatible with kbin.social accounts? I've tried to sign in and it's throwing a whole page of an error message.

The app looks amazing but you need to forgoe that app icon. Could have a cleaner looking one that matches the aesthetic of the app. So far I like it though

I'm able to sign in but no posts populate the feed. Also only a small amount of my subscriptions show up in the sidebar.
