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

    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. 😁
