Out of all the apps that started after the migration, this one has come the farthest and it's still improving. It's probably the best Free Lemmy app out there.

Reminder to tip your developer! I was willing to pay for Boost, and so it only feels right to do the same for Connect.

I'm not sure which one I'll use the most moving forward, both Boost and Connect have separate benefits and issues still, but I appreciate you all nonetheless

It's amazing how much Connect has improved. I found it virtually unusable at the beginning. Now I can't imagine using Lemmy without it*. No ads, no selling of data, and a highly customisable app that does what it says it does.

*I have not been paid to say this. Just a happy user.

What if i pay you because I want you to keep saying what you just said , then technically you can't say you have not been paid to say what you just said, correct? Even if the payment is against your will.

Well, I wouldn't put up a terribly strong fight if you were to pay me...

I only tried using Connect because Jerboa wasn't letting me login, and I am glad I switched! This app quickly became the best one around, hoping it continues to improve from here!

privacy policy for boost, Amazon ad trackers and google I've always used boost for reddit, but I like not being tracked by Google, Amazon etc. I'm staying on connect! Thanks connect devs for this great app!

I love Connect. Free shit and it actually works with the user in mind

Where can I actually donate to Connect?

I didn't find any info in this community sidebar. I think it would be best to make this places prominently somewhere.

[โ€“] Chouxfleur@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The donation link is at the bottom of the app settings menu.

[โ€“] swnt@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fair point, but I still prefer the donation link to also be available outside of the app. I didn't think about looking in the app - even though I had literally opened it right in front of me ๐Ÿ˜…

Are you me? I had the same thoughts. For others like us, here you go: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kurononeko

Psst! ๐Ÿคซ Don't spoil our shared Account!

As somebody who used Connect initially, but is now using another client, I still wanted to support Kuro. Thanks for the link, donated!

[โ€“] JackOverlord@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's at the very bottom of the settings page inside the app itself.

wow didnt realize its canadian

Not moving, & not even going to try boost, adding ads & trackers, in an open source space, in order to charge to remove them, really goes against the grain... There's plenty of fully featured apps available & well supported here already, that deseve a big hand ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

As a long time Boost user for reddit, I was tempted to switch over when I saw the news. Then I thought about it and realized that Connect has been working just fine and I really have no reason to switch.

Maybe I'll dabble in a couple other apps to see if any suit me better, but as for now, Connect is the only one I need. Great app, thanks!

I was wondering the same way with Sync. Sticking with Connect.

Me too. Great app!
