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.
Connect for Lemmy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Is it on F-droid?
It's not open source, so no, not on F-Droid
The community for the app:
I'm also happily using it, it's the only app which works on my old phone, haha :D
Same. I prefer it to Jerboa. But I am disquieted by the currently unverified post stating that it might be full of trackers.
Tested Connect using three different privacy apps and none of them found any trackers. I don't know if I can trust the source of that post. Instead of blindly taking my word for it you should also conduct your own tests.
you might want to re-evaluate how you are scanning for trackers. I am running duck duck go's app tracking protection on Android and this is it's summary of connect for lemmy from the past 22 hours.
1175 tracking attempts blocked from 40 different companies(trackers)
Maybe stop opening websites inside lemmy?
You might stop opening websites inside lemmy..... because this is getting tracked, if you just open posts nothing happens
Aurora Store is working for you? I always get the Oops, This Account is rate limited no matter how much new sessions I request. The main screen seems to be loading though so idk.
I just installed it after seeing that post. In case of usability I like it more than jerboa. But the design needs a bit more work. The list view is nit really enjoyable, best is card but even there with the dark or oled theme it is very hard to distinct the posts from each other. But I try keep using it a bit. Let's see.
Love the icon, super cute :)
