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
A good start! but the card view’s background color is too bright, and honestly a lot of the space feels wasted. I know it’s a really fine line between wasting space and having everything be too dense, but I think you erred too far towards having everything spread out – contents are indented too far, cards are too big outside the borders of content, the space between UI elements is too large, stuff like that. Also, I can’t see subscribed communities outside of my instance, which almost immediately made the app unusable for me. But with all those criticisms in mind, this app is the closest one I’ve seen so far to being a lemmy app I actively want to use, it’s just not quite there yet imo. Good luck with your development!!
