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.
Connect for Lemmy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Feels and looks good for my instance ‘lemmy.fmhy.ml’ on the web mode. Gestures and actions come second nature almost like, I like it.
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.
I like the general look of Connect, but the dark mode needs some work. When I click through a web link to a WebView, the web page’s background and text are both dark, making the article basically impossible to read.
Hi Connect dev here. I’ll see what I can do about fixing that! Thank you for the feedback.
Thanks, I really appreciate it! Let me know if you need any more details.
Hi, this issue should now be fixed on the latest release (1.0.41). Cheers!
I just got the update and it looks great to me. Thanks for the fix!

Wow. This app is really nice at first glance. I like the gesture to swipe left on a comment to upvote. Reminds me of Sync for Reddit!
I’m missing the ability to collapse threads, but otherwise it’s very sleek Edit: nevermind you just need to hold the top comment for one second
Hi, there’s also a setting to make comments collapse on single tap instead of long press.
I take it you’re the developer! Well done! As a Sync for Reddit user, this one is making me feel at home on my phone. 👍
Awesome to hear! I started working on Connect when the subreddits went private and I couldn’t find any Lemmy apps that matched the experience I was used to (Sync and Apollo). So I’m glad you feel at home!
Interesting, I’m waiting for Sync for Lemmy, is this one open source?
No, I dont think it is unfortunately. Another commenter said it was full of trackers, although I have not verified that. I didn’t realize that when I made the post
Where is this post? I tried connect and it works fine, the guy made it in a week, it’s impressive
Here is the post: https://beehaw.org/comment/449643
I cannot verify if that comment is true or not, or how they found out the information.
I tried to reply and ask, but for some reason my comment will not post! I have tried using the website and several Lemmy apps.

Using it to make this answer, and loving it Jerboa just keeps crashing instantly for me (android 12, Fairphone 4). Not sure why. But connect has just worked out of the box.
Mine has been crashing ever since the recent update specifically when I try to switch my filter from hot to new it seems to only happen if you do it right as you open the app
Jerboa works just fine for me. I’m also on a Fairphone 4, but running CalyxOS with Android 13. Maybe you can try Jerboa from another source like F-droid instead of Google Play or vice versa. You can also try the IzzyOnDroid repository on F-droid.
Is it on F-droid?
