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

    My keyboard constantly tries to switch to caps as I type in Connect. I am using Grammarly. It will flicker the upper case layout between each key press. It’s unusable as it is.

    And you designed, developed, tested and published it in a less than 10 days? Your first android app? Really?

      I switched over when the subreddits started going private. It’s been a lot of long nights haha.

      Not my first app :)

    The screen shots look good. I’ll download it and try it out. Let me know if you make a community for it so we can give back feedback on there. The more apps the merrier now that Reddit is getting rid of all them!

    The app looks great! Feels very fluid.

    I have only three requests:

    • make it FOSS in spirit of the fediverse (obviously you don’t have to, that’s your choice)
    • give me a way to download pics from inside the app. I very often download memes and share them in other chats. You’ve got open external, which works, but it’s an extra step. Downloading in app would just be more convenient.
    • lastly, give me a way to buy you a beer 😁

      Hi, thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I’ve added a download button to media views. Open source is on the roadmap as well if there’s enough interest.

    Maybe bug: in list view, the width of post title and content seems to be limited to around 80% of my screen width.

    Nothing is showing up in my feed when signed in to lemmy.ml

    Also, the Google password manager is trying to input the password into the instance text box when trying to sign in. Pixel 7 Pro.

        Thanks man! It’s working now. Super smooth for the most part. Upvotes/downvotes still take quite a while to register. An Amoled black would be awesome as would a Small Cards view.

        Edit: Another suggestion is to add a way to jump to the next parent comment in a post. Looks like Jeroba just added this and I’ve been missing this feature from some of the reddit apps I used to use.

          Hi, thanks for the feedback! I’ve added an AMOLED theme on the latest update (1.0.35). A small cards view is a good idea and I’ll take a look at Jeroba’s jump buttons. Cheers!
