Don’t forget Connect! It’s probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The “About Instance” function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.
For folks curious, !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).
Where is the “About Instance” feature?
- Tap the three dots overflow menu:
- Select About Instance:
- Select View Communities:
Thanks. I found that earlier. I tried to edit comment. There’s a feature on my app that says “add user comment”… I thought that equaled an edited comment that indicated 'I found the answer".
Using Connect:
Have a link? Is it open source?
Here’s a play store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
It is not open source. Apparently the creator is considering making it open source once he’s cleaned up the code a bit. For whatever that’s worth.
I honestly don’t get the “gotta clean up the code first” stance. Like sure, you don’t want to publish complete spaghetti code without comments. But like, it can’t be that bad right?
Besides, the point of open source is collaboration and so he doesn’t have to do all the “clean up” by himself.Yeah, I totally agree. I suspect that some people use it as an excuse because they don’t actually want to publish the code.
I feel it’s used as a minipulation tactic.
- FOSS people don’t want to use closed source software.
- Lie and say you’ll “consider” open source-ing later even though you have no intention of ever doing so.
- Profit.
Mmhmm.
Not open source, I’m out then.
It’s not FOSS but it’s currently free and without ads.
