We’ll have a ton of high quality options soon. Lots of the Reddit app devs are working on Lemmy apps. I wouldn’t be surprised if almost all the ui code can be reused
Yeah, I really wish at least one of the major third party Reddit apps was able to launch their Lemmy version today, bit of course I understand it takes time
Just tried installing Wefwef, and the first thing that hits me, is the lack of dark mode under appearance settings. Am I blind, or is that not a thing in Wefwef?
EDIT:
Liftoff feels rather nice, the menus need a little getting used to (and that big obnoxious ‘+’ in the middle of everything), but overall it seems like a nice experience.
Not sure if any of these are better than Connect, but I’ll keep them all installed and keep using them in shifts, to see which one feels better.
EDIT: 2 weeks later I’ve switched full-time to Liftoff.
That’s unfortunate, as I like having my phone in light mode for regular daytime use, and keep my “chill apps” dark for when sitting in the evening and scrolling.
Connect looks nice and is fast, but it’s really buggy too. But early days. In a month or two we should have a few more good options. Really looking forward to some great Reddit apps coming to Lemmy.
Thank you for your work! Connect is the only Android app for lemmy that works on my EMUI/Nougat phone, so I’m really grateful I stumbled upon it. Thunder, liftoff and the likes can’t connect, probably because of the old WebView version I’m using - the newer ones sadly fuck with Midori Lite :(
I’ve just installed Connect earlier today and immensely enjoy it so far! I’m looking forward to maybe some additional Themes; and don’t worry 'bout the bugs too much, I’m sure you’ve got the few main ones in your sights and will figure stuff out soon enough! :) –
Keep up the good deeds!
Yeah it exists for comments but not for posts in communities for whatever reason. Liftoff has a sort by top (day, week, month) available to sort by in communities
I’m on Connect, I hope the UI gets better, Lemmy has a lot of potential but it needs work

I think when I tried it wefwef was dark. It probably defaults to your system theme

But it does make sense, thanks for the reply. :)
Yeah I think it’s the default system theme because mines definitely dark and I don’t see a way to change it
Thank you! I just downloaded Liftoff. It does look much cleaner than Connect, but it’s having trouble loading stuff, hopefully that gets worked out

Connect dev here. I’m getting those bugs ironed out! I’m also a Reddit migrant and the app has only been live for about 9 days now.
Sorry, didn’t want to diss you there. This is crazy impressive for the short time frame.
All the apps are in early and rapid development and I am looking forward to what is going to happen in the months to come.
My point was only the (obviously unfair) comparison to Reddit apps that have years under their belts. But Lemmy apps will get there too.
You’re doing a great job so far, commenting from Connect right now.

Try wefwef (the name sucks, idk why they picked it)
https://wefwef.app/
It’s a web app that’s really clean looking and smooth. Wish they would add a top (day/week/month) sort though for postings
Hi, there is. You can find it at the top right

And they added it last night to posts! I’m set now
