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

    Damn that looks awesome! Did you find any good docs on the API? I only found the lemmy-js-client, which is a library, though. Wanted to do some shenanigans with Python and Lemmy, but there doesn’t seem to be too much documentation…

        For what it’s worth, it should be possible to use the ActivityPub API, which is just a traditional JSON API with a JSON-LD @context field you can probably safely ignore (as long as the context uses vocabulary from activitystreams). For example, try running this request:

        GET https://beehaw.org/c/technology/outbox
accept: application/ld+json

        The nice thing about the ActivityPub API is that all the fields should be documented. If you run your response through a JSON-LD expander, you can often take the resulting field names and “dereference” them (aka open them in a browser) to find documentation on what those fields mean.
