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.

I made a neat table, here u go:

But a bunch of low karma accounts on Reddit told me Lemmy would never take off!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It feels like Memmy is getting updates every single day which is nice, Mlem is quite slow to update

Just trying to do my part for you guys :)

For the record I love love love what you are doing with Memmy. I used to bounce between mlem and the web interface but after the last 2 days I think Memmy is in a good spot where I can use it full time. Just need notifications and I’m set

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm working on a notifications screen tonight. Shouldn't be too long before I push an update with those.

And along with that I've opened up another project for push notifications. I hope to have that off the ground and working within the next week.

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 hope one of them displays tables right lol.

This post is a hot mess on jerboa.

This speaks volumes about the popularity of Lemmy. I think this might actually keep taking off!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

for a lil while at least, june 30 will probably bring another mass exodus, including sync users, let's see how it goes, afterwards i imagine that there'll be a small push and then things will calm down a bit cuz rn it's exploding due to a mass publicity campaign that won't be there when reddit's already committed app-genocide

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The table ironically doesn't render on Jerboa

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah jerboa's markdown parser seems to just not have tables included

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

That's in the next release.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

wait, slide? as in reddit slide? that was the app I used for reddit, but didnt figure something like that would get made here due to that being one of the less popular third party apps compared to things like RIF and Apollo. Thats cool to see

Lol and I just need one to release and work! Only thing stopping me from enjoying it to its fullest.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think like 7 out of 10 are for iOS too.

edit: i was not completely wrong, but 5 out of 7 iOS apps are also releasing on android in theory, some already have

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's fine. Sync is all Android really needs anyway ;)

Memmy checking in. For the record, I have an Android build awaiting Google approval. Hopefully that will happen soon.

I am aiming to have a stable release available by the 27th that I can submit to Apple for release on the store. Right now, I think I can still hit that mark. We will see how it goes.

Relay for Lemmy would be so nice

Boost for lemmy would be awesome.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boost is (should say was) my favorite reddit app, so I designed jerboa based off its UI. I'd definitely appreciate more apps, but boost was always closed source, so it makes sense to contribute to jerboa.

This is really exciting. Could you make an issue to add these to https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site ? Thanks.

Awesome news. Great to see Slide becoming a Lemmy client. I really hope somebody does this for Dawn too, I loved Dawn for Reddit, it was pure eye candy.

It’s the gold rush of lemmy/kbin apps!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

3rd party apps are probably the most instrumental aspect of migration viability, considering the entire protest is around third-party apps. This is great.

And: I like it here, homies.

Is there any of these that don't require TestFlight currently? I like lemmynade the most and Jerboa is apparently broken due to world not being able to connect to it since captchas were taken off and the admins are worried about it. I've tried connect and didn't really like it

There's also connect for lemmy on the android play store. Dunno if it's available on apple's or not. Works well, but is ugly as homemade sin

Can someone please explain what the difference is between kbin and Lemmy and why these apps can interoperate? They look similar to me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

KBin and Lemmy are both federated link aggregators (a link aggregator in this case is a type of forum website, like Reddit). They both federate using the ActivityPub standard, so servers running Lemmy and KBin are able to talk to each other and share information, at the server level they speak the same language. However, they are separate pieces of software and therefore have different data APIs (special URLs that user software can use to network with a server), and because of that any Lemmy/KBin app has to come up with separate functions to interact with Lemmy vs. KBin. Let me know if you have any questions or if anything I said didn't make sense.
