Starfield. Still figuring out lots of things since not everything is intuitive. Also started playing It Takes Two with my SO who has never held a controller before. It’s been an exercise in patience. On one hand I am happy that she willing to pick up a controller and play with me. I am sure it’s as frustrating for her as it’s for me. But damn is it tough to go so slow.

Oh yeaah. Don’t think it’s relevant here, but I just wanted to post this gif.

There are certain sites which terminate your sessions after a while. For example, banking sites or most government portals. In such situations, the auto fill function is very handy.

In my opinion this is not very intuitive. A drop down in the settings menu would be more obvious to users.

I am on Lemmy.zip and the admins are very transparent on the funding as they have set up an Open Collective page, and they are also very receptive to user suggestions and feedback.

Absolute madlad

Many of the lemmy apps that are still in development are not released on any of these stores.

Thank you once again for these rundowns! Congratulations on the 1 month anniversary!

I didn’t know this was possible! Thanks for sharing, will give this a try.

I have most of the Android apps installed, but the two I keep switching between are Connect and Thunder. Both devs keep pushing out updates to the apps periodically and are very responsive to user feedback.

It’s fixed in the latest update!

Relieved to hear that I am not the only one! I did the usual cache and storage clean up but that did not solve the issue for me.

There are a lot of options for Lemmy, but beware they still need to mature a bit. The two apps I keep using the most are Thunder and Connect for Lemmy. Lots of users swear by Liftoff but I find the aesthetics a bit lacking for me. There’s also Lemming which is the most barebones but has a great UI for something that has only had a couple of alpha releases. Most if not all of these are available to download from Github.

The app icon looks great in the app drawer, but when you create a shortcut on thehome screen, the dynamic color fills the whole icon.

Seems to be bugged as the dynamic color from my theme seems to be filling up the icon. Image upload seems to be bugged across lemmy apps + the web. Not sure if it’s an issue with Lemmy 0.18. Anyway, here’s the screenshot - https://ibb.co/hsThPVZ

Another (mostly) happy Connect user here! It’s crazy the blistering pace at which the Dev keeps pumping out updates. I keep alternating between Connect and Thunder. I think Liftoff still needs some UI polish and it doesn’t handle jumping to communities in different instances very gracefully.

Another Connect for Lemmy use here. Apart from Jerboa, I feel Conner and Thunder have the most polished UI so far. The Connect Dev also seems to be super proactive and keeps rolling out multiple updates in a day with core features. It’s even more impressive when you consider that this is just a solo dev. Also waiting to see how Sync for Lemmy turns out!

The instance I am on (Lemmy.zip) seems to have a lot of game based communities. You can check it out to see if a community you’re looking for exists or create your own.

Cheers! Glad to have been able to contribute something meaningful!
