New Lemmy app "Connect for Lemmy"
(beehaw.org)
Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.
Connect for Lemmy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Using Connect because Jerboa just kept crashing on me at startup. Never got to test it out. Problems do exist in Connect, as e.g. I could not comment on this post in the app. Will check out Thunder and Lift off as well, so thanks for the suggestions!
Edit: I literally just found out that you have to hit the huge plus-button at the bottom right to add a comment.. I always thought it was for creating a new post 🤦♂️
Good feedback! I'll change the plus icon to something more obvious in the next release.
Any comment re:tracking that others have raised ITT and any plans to open the source code? Loving the UI thus far but like others here would very much prefer FOSS applications
Connect has 0 trackers of any kind and I collect no information beyond what Google Play Store collects by default. When you open up a webpage with the in-app viewer that webpage may run it's own trackers but I don't capture any of that data.

I was also having the Jerboa startup crashes starting yesterday. Version 0.0.35 fixed it for me (it's not on vanilla F-Droid yet but it is on the IzzyOnDroid repo)
