It’s mainly what I’m waiting for. Im using connect, but it’s still not what I wish it to be, granted I doubt theyve had enough time to develop the app just yet.
Have you checked out Thunder? It’s also missing features, but it’s the horse I’m betting on, to the point that I’m submitting fixes and features on the github.
I’ve actually picked up app development just to help out with Thunder. There’s several of us working on it now and it is REALLY starting to come together. Next release is gonna have so much stuff, and I’ve got even more ready for the one after that.
By far the slickest looking lemmy app yet (aside from Memmy maybe which is only iOS atm). Not yet feature complete, and only on github right now, but already my favorite to actually use.
I know right? The main dev really put together a sensible start! I’ve added community and user banners, as well as reworked the post view. There a bunch of other tiny tweaks I’ve made to add further polish to the app.
One of my PRs right now adds community icons to search. And the other devs are making changes I’m a big fan of, too, like the collapsed comment count badge.
I do hope those apps share at least a small part of their revenue by donating to the Lemmy devs (will be tricky to decide which instances to also donate to though). The app devs should realize that the success of their app business depends on Lemmy still being alive.
It makes sense since a lot of people are moving because of Reddit dropping TPAs. I’d say the migrants are 90% here because they want a phone app that isn’t a complete pile of ad-laden, spyware donkey shit.
I’m also absolutely certain Reddit’s stats that only 3% of users were on TPAs was another pile of steaming donkey shit. I’d place it as vastly larger than Reddit’s mobile app. Probably Apollo alone had more users than that.
As soon as Boost is released, Lemmy will be even more active.
aswell as sync.
Both will bring welcome surges of new users, I’m sure!

Always great to have alternative. Thanks to you and all other foss devs who make the internet bearable
Wow that’s a really nice UI!

Thank you very much. Awesome work! ❤️
I think Boost and Sync are going to generate another inrush.

Yeah, it’s a little weird to me that there’s so much focus on third party app development when the platform itself is so new.
The old Reddit apps bringing their userbase over is great. Having several brand new third party apps is awkward.

3% of “users”, 40% of logged in users.
