Connect for Lemmy has a sync for reddit feel and is working quite well for me as I make the switch from reddit
I think I like connect the best so far but the logo for it changed today and the change is horrible lol I miss the goofy mascot lol. 1/10
On connect i can only choose all or local for scrolling. I can't get subscribed.
That's odd... You're clearly logged in or you wouldn't be able to post. I guess it's possible connect is losing your subscriptions? Is the app showing your account subscribed to a bunch of communities inside connect?
Yes. On the other apps i can choose to list posts in subscribed, local, or all. On connect i have buttons for frontpage, local, and all. I guess maybe front-page has my subscribed communities?
Hi, front-page is the equivalent view to subscriptions!
Thanks!
I did not like the old one. Do not love the new one. Hoping third time is the charm!
Connect dev here. Third logo dropping soon, another Lemmy user that has design skills messaged me and was able to help out!
Will there be ways to report posts and view the number of subscribers in a community when searching?
Report functionality is definitely coming soon! Subscribe counts in searching is interesting I haven't heard that suggested before but it totally makes sense.
Good to hear! Looking forward to both functionalities. There's one particular user that I'm convinced is a troll making the rounds, every one of his posts have been just incendiary remarks, and it's been frustrating having to switch to browser to report.
I've also noticed that posts which show as "deleted by mod" in browser still show up in Connect. Will that be patched as well at some point?
Connect has been my favorite Lemmy app as of late. Jerboa is my old reliable one though 😅
I just switched from Jerboa to Connect and have
nofew regrets so far. Still feels like the wild west out here.Can't wait for Sync though!
EDIT: I do have at least one regret, no easy way to report comments on Connect, AFAICT. Guess I need to keep exploring my options.
To be fair, most apps other than Jerboa didn't exist a few weeks ago 😅
Seconding this, Connect for Lemmy also feels a lot like RIF.
Same here, besides the pack of animations it's really getting me used to using Lemmy. Till sync for Lemmy comes out, that is. I can't wait
