Title. I've got an Android phone, wondering if anyone has tried this Connect app. Just heard about it.

Works really well for me as a basic reader (I only just now made an account). I switched to it after Jerboa started crashing for me, and I'll probably keep trying new things for a while as everything is still up in the air.

As soon as Sync for Lemmy is released, there's no need for other apps.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a bit dramatic. Sync for Reddit never had the one feature that I had to try basically every Reddit app to find. Which was the ability to swipe from one post to the next without having to ever to back out. Of course I could be misremembering and sync is one I missed and does have that feature. But I'll probably periodically try out every app for lemmy until I find one.

Apparently the dev for Slide for Reddit said he's going to make a Lemmy app. His reddit app let you swipe from post to post. I'd imagine his Lemmy app will be similar.

Dope. I'll have to keep an eye on that one then. I used Joey for Reddit before and I don't believe the dev has said anything about a fediverse app.

He may have been working but we never know

Good to know! Do you have a link or some place I could follow to stay up to date with the progress on that?

Im kinda burned on slide since he abandoned the original to work on a rewrite and the abandoned that as well. Although it was my favorite reddit app for a long time

Yeah, it was my go-to for a long time. When he abandoned it I went back to ~~Slide~~ Sync and fell in love with it.

Edit typo.

I assume you went back to Sync?

I hope it is that great, but to me success will look like several third party apps happily coexisting
