๐Ÿ‘€ thanks for the ping. pushing an update now.

 

Hi, past couple days have seen a influx of new users so welcome everybody! This release is aimed at improving customization options and some requested improvements. The secondary buttons on post cards can now be customized, added a 'Hide above' option which will hide all posts above the selected post, and the upvote colour can now be customized (also applies to the new comment counter and swipe action background on upvote tiles).

Changes

  • Upvote colour can now be customized
  • Fixed a bug with the subscribe button not being in the correct state within About Community
  • & symbol now renders correctly on posts and comments
  • global setting moved up within the Settings page to make it more obvious
  • filter terms now accept regex (should start and end with a "/" eg /foo/)
  • spoiler tags should now work for multi-line spoilers
  • Added a toggle to display comment debug information (shows id, children count, hot rank, upvotes, downvotes - probably only useful for debugging).
  • Fixed an issue where 'View More' is showing when it shouldn't be

What would you like to see next: Tablet UI or more granular theme customizations?

Hi, thank you everyone for the feedback. This release mostly is just added improvements that have been highly requested. 113 adds draft posts and comments as well as video playback for most video services. I've also added support for ::: spoiler tags ::: (although just a first iteration and I'm still playing with the styling), improved how communities and persons are fetched from remote instances (less API remote object not found errors) and some performance optimizations.

Changes

  • Draft posts and comments
  • inline video player (now muted and doesn't pause other audio sources)
  • better post truncation (ends on a word end when possible)
  • Inbox no longer limited to the first page, added infinite scroll
  • Post list now displays a small page header every 20 posts (clicking jumps to the top)
  • Enabling full usernames (@instance) now uses the username and not the display name
  • Fixed an issue where some comments weren't showing up in large threads.
  • post images now fade in (less flash)
  • Fixed an issue where posting a comment would stay at the edit page

Hi Connect dev here. I'll see what I can do about fixing that! Thank you for the feedback.

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.

Hi, there's also a setting to make comments collapse on single tap instead of long press.

Connect dev here, we use 0 trackers of any kind beyond what the Play store tracks by default.

Good feedback! I'll change the plus icon to something more obvious in the next release.

Hi lemmings, I switched over from Reddit 10 days ago now but I couldn't find a mobile client that I was happy with with an experience similar to the Reddit experience I was used to. So I decided to build my own and I hope you will like it as well!

Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect

Features:

  • Material U
  • Dark and Light themes
  • List view / Card view / Fullwidth view
  • Filter lists for hiding posts
  • Multiple accounts + switcher across multiple instances
  • Guest accounts for viewing an instance without signup
  • Search and community autofill
  • Markdown support + attempt to navigate links correctly (/u/foo will open that user instead of browser kickout. Same for /c/, !, and @)
  • Saving posts
  • full sort types
  • NSFW view options (hide, blur, show)
  • copy text and url on all posts and comments
  • add comments, replies, and new posts
  • comment replies with line indicators

Here's other screenshots:

Future plans:

  • Improving the inbox
  • Swipe actions
  • Multi-~~reddit ~~communities

Thank you for taking a look. I hope others who are migrating from Reddit like me will find the app useful and I'd love to know your thoughts!

Edit: Community for the app is here: https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmyconnect
