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

    The app looks great! Feels very fluid.

    I have only three requests:

    • make it FOSS in spirit of the fediverse (obviously you don’t have to, that’s your choice)
    • give me a way to download pics from inside the app. I very often download memes and share them in other chats. You’ve got open external, which works, but it’s an extra step. Downloading in app would just be more convenient.
    • lastly, give me a way to buy you a beer 😁

      Hi, thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I’ve added a download button to media views. Open source is on the roadmap as well if there’s enough interest.
