The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works so things should get better with time.

smaller spoilerhere it is

I made a neat table, here u go:

Hey everyone!

It was made aware to me that there was another dev working from the Lemmur code base but focusing on iOS! We got connected and we believe we can really create something special if we team up!

So we’ve just announced our new combined app Liftoff!

We’ve brought together the best parts of both projects and have opened up the source for the project for your inspection and contributions.

We will be using GitHub for logging issues, and I will ensure over the next couple of days that all the points that have been raised here or through TestFlight are captured there.

If you want to have longer discussions and interactions with us, we have a new community at https://lemmy.world/c/liftoff.

Thanks for everyone already jumping in and engaging! I know it's been a little jarring with all the apps but we're confident this is the best way to move forward!

Thanks,

-Zach

Thanks for putting this together!

I'm the dev that is working on Lemmynade (resurrected from lemmur)

Things are getting pretty solid. I'm using it as my main without issues right now. Even on v0.18.x instances.

Try out the latest release here:

https://github.com/zachatrocity/lemmynade/releases/tag/v0.9.6

F-Droid, Play store, and iOS should be here next week!

 

I've released a new version of Lemmynade with some important bug fixes and a new compact post view feature!

You can download the android APK here:

https://github.com/zachatrocity/lemmynade/releases/tag/v0.9.5

I'm waiting on Google play store reviews but on should be in there soon.

Android/Desktop Packages

https://github.com/zachatrocity/lemmynade/releases/tag/v0.9.4

Disclaimer

There is a significant bug with the comments not working properly. They're not nested under the parent comments. Despite complete lack of API documentation for lemmy I know the issue and I'm working on this now.

Overview

This is the first release, and by that I mean released through the original ci/cd. There was significant amount of updating that had to be done due to the app not being touched in over 4 months. Currently only Android and desktop are in this release but I intend to fully support iOS I just need to get registered for code signing and test flight.

I wanted to get an "alpha" out there to start getting testing feedback to see what is broken.

Changelog

  • Upgraded SDK and kotlin
  • Various API changes due to app being stale for 4 months and 3 versions behind Lemmy
  • Reconfigured build pipeline to support new app name
  • App renamed to Lemmynade
  • updated the dart Lemmy API client (separate repo)

Reporting bugs/Feature Requests

Please use the issue tracker on the GitHub. This app wasn't touched for 4 months and was left stale when Lemmy was on 0.15.* so there will be bugs. Please help me find them!

Hey guys, a week ago I started working on a lemmy app like many others as an excuse to learn flutter. Along the way I found an old app that was abandoned but very well built.

After a couple of days I was able to get things running and semi-useable again. Including posting this post from the app! The main effort being updating to 0.17.x.

Here's some screenshots:

I'll be renaming the app (so I can republish it), tentatively under the name "Lem".. but really open to ideas here.

I really agree with you here.

The reddit exodus happened so fast that people didn't think through or have time to learn how to scale in the fediverse.

Subreddits should equal instances.

Common threads/stickies within subreddits should equal communities within instances.

Subreddits should not equal communities.

I had this issue and the cause was the email server. If you're using smtp you'll have to make sure your vps opens port 25.

However you can also just register without an email and it should work

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah maybe, i've had my account for a few years but who knows.

If i decide do use email i'll just make an smtp mail server on my homelab

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, I tried and failed. They denied it and told me to use SES lol.

Whatever haha

Were you able to get AWS to open port 25 for smtp support?

Thanks for joining our instance. This is our !help community and here you will find tips + tricks on navigating Lemmy that might be useful if you're migrating from reddit.

Finding Communities

Currently our instance has open federation to pretty much everything except porn and nazis. You can add new communities from outside our instance (in the fediverse) by searching for them in the search here on bigfoot.ninja

Here is a helpful Community Browser that you can use to see popular communities outside of our instances.

General Help

Here is a great resource to help you get a handle on using lemmy and the process of subscribing to communities:
