My wallet is already waiting eagerly for a pro version.

In the meantime I can highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. Also a highly motivated dev with an awesome app.

It's really fun to try out all these different apps.

Thank you for this.

I just installed Connect. Soooo much better than Jerboa and the mobile browser. Actually a much closer experience to Sync than I would have thought.

And I am already contributing so much more cause the experience is that much better. Hearty recommendation guys

Sync is really gonna be a game changer in interaction.

+1 for connect. Very easy to set up and looks great.

I just switched from connect to Liftoff. I am liking Liftoff better. Looks nice and I like that comments collapse with one tap, and up/down vote arrows and the reply button are all shown in the comments as a default (rather than having to tap or swipe to see the arrows).

Liftoff also has better formatting options. Here are a few screenshots:

Switched from Connect to Liftoff last week too. Kinda makes sense why it's a little bit ahead of the curve given that it's a fork of Lemmur.

I just wish connect had a better icon haha

I switched from Jerboa to Liftoff after every singe update they introduce breaks something new and they don't fix existing issues. My current biggest issues with Liftoff is the very un-smooth scrolling, that hard-coded bright blue, and that you can change font size for headers and sub-headers, but not general text. I'd like it to be 1-2 notches larger, on a phone with large display it's getting a bit small.

Can't seem to log in with Liftoff.. it keeps saying that my instance (lemm.ee) can not be found.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure what that's about. I tried with lemmy.one and had the same issue. For me it works great with lemm.ee and lemmy.world. Guessing it's a big that's hopefully getting worked on.

Your instance seems to use a beta version of lemmy so it's possible there are API changes that make it incompatible with some 3rd party apps. Either that or the instance is being hosted behind cloudflare and the operator have strict anti bots option enabled (traffics from apps is almost similar with bot traffics). If yo ask your instance's admins, they might be able to do something about it.

Yep, am enjoying Connect while I wait for Sync.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

agreed, this is great. Updates keep flowing. A visual separator between posts in amoled mode would be nice but its excellent. Devs should start charging for these already. At least in the settings you can 'buymeacoffee' for connect.

I'm trying Connect for Lemmy and it looks very good

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The swipe gestures can be improved, but Connect is pretty good for an app this early in development.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Connect is great. It can hide read posts. But I miss Syncs feature to swipe to hide. That was the killer feature that made me stay with Sync for reddit.
