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.

Anyone else just using whatever is FOSS feom f-droid?
Of course the more apps the merrier, but personally open code = a more trustworthy use for me
Jerboa was the first showing up on F-Droid and so far it's great: minimalistic, responsive, lightweight (only 2MB or so). Don't know why so many people are developing apps and not simply joining efforts. Makes me think they're doing it for the purpose of doing it, and because they're happy to work on an app and get their software engineering brain occupied by their own little project. But what will happen once this sentiment passes? Who's gonna maintain these apps? What we need is one robust app everyone is working on together.
I say let them be, there are (or soon were) many different third-party apps for Reddit as well and each has their own niche of users for whom it works just right. Jerboa has plenty of devs working on it, and if in doubt I'll always prefer having a choice between different apps. Let the free FOSS market decide!
