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
You must log in or register to comment.
That UI looks really clean. I love it. Is it open source? Not that i dont trust you but i try to not use any closed source apps anymore, i would appreciate it if you would share the link to the source code.
Thank God there’s a filter setting 😭😭😭 sorely missed coming from infinity. First thing filtered? “reddit.”
I love the look and layout, but I can’t get any threads to load. It just says “No posts”
Seconded. I logged in but the posts don’t show up. Also only my subscriptions on my main instance are listed, not subscriptions from other instances.
This app looks really promising. Reminds me of Boost.
I’ll take a look! Do you have any filters applied? Is that across all instances?
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.
Lemmy is not one thing, it’s a way for different sites (called instances) to share content with each other.
What instances (i.e. domains) are you trying to create an account on? There have been some big bot waves in the last few days, but even without that every instance handles signup differently. Some are totally open, while others require manual review of some kind.
I would strongly recommend open-sourcing it! There are several FOSS apps already and it would be hard to compete against them without opening up =]
Can you also host the APK or upload it on F-Droid?
Yes. Open the code, please.
Yeah I’ll look into uploading the APK and add a reply here when it’s ready.
Thanks, open source/foss is even better but thanks for at least looking at distributing it on other platforms!
I think I will open source it in the future but right now it’s a very messy codebase coming from essentially a long coding binge.
A lot of people think that way but don’t be afraid to post code because it isn’t perfect. Lots of enterprise software looks awful. Also anyone who wants to be an ass about your code for such an early release isn’t worth listening too. Most are just happy to help and can do pull requests to make your project better.
Agreed. I’ve seen some horrors in corporate code bases in my time. Created some, even. 😁
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.
Hi! could you confirm you’re on the latest version? it should say 1.0.31 under settings
That fixed it! You and your team are working very fast! Keep up the good work! It is appreciated!
That fixed it! You and your team are doing great work! It is appreciated!

No sleep only lemmy :)
i’m currently using this and it’s great!
just a quick feedback, when being in the dark mode, the user switching remain in light mode. Also the node selection suggesting the possible nodes would be appreciated.
also, adding new accounts after the first one, doesn’t seems to work.
I added my lemmy.world and it seemed to work.
anything else besides it, didn’t work (tried, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, etc.)
overall it’s a good mvp, well done, need a little more work and i would appreciate if it was a FOSS to absolutely avoid situations in which an app become the unofficial-official app but then a sudden surge of egocentrism from an individual take it away.
just downloaded the app. I really like it. please keep up the good work
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
Downloaded and used for an hour or so. I’d like to see an option to change the font size. I like my stuff to be small so I can get more content on the screen. 1.6 posts is pretty bad for me. I also couldn’t find a way to change my default homepage to “subscribed - new” but maybe I just didn’t search hard enough. Either way, it’s good to have some competition for Jerboa!
I’d also love to see an option to change the font size, but for the opposite reason - my eyes suck and I need bigger text! Lol. I love it so far either way!
Options for text sizes coming up in the next release :)
Fantastic! Thank you so very much! Also, damn you’re quick, lol! I hope you’re looking after yourself and taking care of yourself above all. It’s important - you’re important! <3
Thank you for the kind words, it’s much appreciated!
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
Looks like Infinity! looks promising
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.
I will look to see how possible it is, I think the APIs are different which is why it’s throwing those errors.
Lemmy and Kbin are entirely different Software. Fediverse just allows posts to be visible between other fediverse applications.
