Hopefully Connect app on Android (Lemmy client). Also, if it ever happens, Redreader for Lemmy.

Have I missed something? I'm writing this comment using Connect for Lemmy

Connect isn't FOSS, as far as I know

[–] LucyLastic@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, there's another Connect out there for something else? Or the poster above wants the maker of Connect for Lemmy to release their source code?

FOSS means free and open-source software…

[–] ExceptionalCow@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly. The developer might open the source according to some reports in the past.

[–] ExceptionalCow@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The developer of Connect said they might release it as FOSS app one day. That'll be the day I reinstall it. For now I'm using Jerboa.

Ah ok, now I understand ... though it's not something that I'd get excited about I'm glad the idea has you feeling enthusiastic :-)
