About this app

Connect for Lemmy is a native application for browsing the social platform Lemmy and the Fediverse.

Connect for Lemmy highlights:
- Easy to understand. No understanding of federation or ActivityPub required
- Fast. A native application that loads quickly and isn't heavy
- Clean UI. No ads, Material v3 everything.

Hi, I started this project after leaving Reddit and being dissatisfied with the current Lemmy apps. I wanted a browsing experience similar to what I was used to and I hope others who are in a similar situation will enjoy Connect for Lemmy.

I'm liking it so far! It definitely needs some development. One minor thing that i've noticed is that the download button for images and media puts them in my downloads folder, and then the only way to find them to share on other platforms is to go to my file explorer. I've just been screenshotting things instead. Also there are a few typos in the settings, "effect" should be used instead of "affect" when using it as a noun

This is a great start! The app is minimal and usable. It clearly has some bugs. For example, I can't disable the swipe actions, and pull down to refresh often fails. But, Lemmy has grown 1600% in the past few weeks. The software is being rapidly iterated and is screaming and groaning under the load. Truly amazing work all things considered.

My favorite app for Lemmy. It's not on the same level as some of the 3rd party Reddit apps used to be, but it is close and I am picky. It's very complete in terms of features, but some do feel a little unpolished. Closing images by swiping for example works, but there's some delay before it actually closes. And in terms of customization there's no way to customize comment browsing single tap behavior. But for everything else this can be customized to be a drop in replacement.
