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.

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.

Worth noting that the Jerboa app pushed a major update today and it’s massively improved. Definitely suggest giving it another try after today, it feels like an entirely new app.

Literally here on connect from Jerboa because today’s update has caused it to stop sorting anything, at all. The only view it will give me is Local by Hot, no matter how many times I try to change to Subscribed or All.

Tbh, Connect isn’t vibing with me yet eithet, but I’ll play with the settings before I decide it’s not right for me.

Looks cool but if it’s not on F-Droid I ain’t using it.

F-Droid seems to be lagging behind on a lot of things, so I’ve been looking to move away from it. There’s Obtanium and Droid-ify and I’m testing those now.

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.
