New Lemmy app "Connect for Lemmy"

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.

I tried it and didn't think it was much different from any other Lemmy app right now. Seems like they are only trying to differentiate with visuals at the moment.

Some things I would like to see in future apps and versions of existing apps.

  • Integration of the Lemmy community browser or something similar. Basic search takes too long and you need to know what your looking for
  • Ability to view top communities posts from the community browser in a separate view alongside "local" and "All" and "subscribed" and could even stand in as a user's subscribed view before they have customized it to their own liking
  • Ability to "force pull" comments and posts from a particular remote community. Or at least compare the number of comments a post has locally to the number it has on its remote instance and present some kind of indicator if they differ.

These are all great suggestions. Is there an official place different app developers could look for these types of feature requests? That would be nice.

I feel like they should be looking here if they want to make an app that the community will appreciate.they should spend some time talking to people in the technology subs and maybe even do some polls.

Connect dev here! I'm watching this thread! 👀
