OC UPDATED: There are now multiple iOS / Android apps in development for kbin & lemmy!

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:

  • Artemis (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
  • Kbam (iOS, kbin, lemmy): link
  • Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • Beyond (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
  • Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
  • Slide (Android, lemmy): link
  • Sync (Android, lemmy): link
  • Connect (Android, lemmy): link
  • Summit (Android, lemmy): link
  • Lemon (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Liftoff (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • Boost (Android, lemmy): link
  • Bean (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • WefWef (Web App, lemmy): link

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 (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357) so things should get better with time.

Some of the apps are in a very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

Can we add this? (Terminal) neonmodem.com

iamhazel,

I don't have a link but there's an app Lemming for Android being released to Play next week and the dev posted the APK for testing. Saw it in all so not sure where it is.

BrollyLSSJ,

The Limbo Dev and the Lemmynade Dev joined forces and both their clients will be merged to Liftoff. Maybe the list above could be adjusted to reflect that.

Could you update the list with the release status of each app? Some apps are available via FlightTest, some are closed Betas, some need AltStore sole loading, some are only announcements with screenshots.

@frasassi
No Lemmur ? It was litterally the only Lemmy app for month (maybe years)

@liwott It was abandoned

liwott,

@frasassi Oh, I see

Don't forget wefwef - an apollo-like progressive webapp (for iOS, android later) under active development I'm working on ^_^

Also works great on tablets and desktop! And it's hackable, self-hostable and open source, because it's a progressive webapp.

I like your app's simple and beautiful design. Some suggestions:

  • Your "install app" page says Safari even though I'm using Firefox on the desktop. Perhaps you can change the instructions based on browser detection

  • Images are always displayed in full height. Will you consider setting a maximum height for images so tall images won't affect browsing the posts?

  • The login page says "Due to CORS, all requests to will be proxied through wefwef.app". Can you elaborate and give reassurance that privacy would be respected by your app? Perhaps a privacy policy under the settings page would help.

  • The profile page has a very short list of instances. Is there a logic on how those instances are selected? I support that you are selective about what instances are included. I hope to see the instance managed by weirdos to be excluded.

Hi! These are great questions 🥰

  • Yes, there are absolutely plans to make install app logic smarter!
  • Currently, image render in the feed similar to apollo. However... are you viewing on mobile or desktop? Is there a particular post that's problematic? I might add more logic around this, but for mobile in portrait, it should be intended. Note that in the post page, there is a height limitation to 50% viewport. Oh, and a compact feed view is planned!
  • Yeah, I need to write a privacy policy. I'll get this done today or tomorrow.
  • The short instance list is just for an MVP. I definitely plan on expanding it!

You can also choose any instance by adjusting the URL on the posts page. For example, (assuming you're logged out) you can view midwest.social with the following link: https://wefwef.app/posts/midwest.social/all. However, you make a good point about being selective - I might create a blacklist, as I don't want wefwef to be used by hate groups.

Hey @frasassi, I've been working on a github page to track these apps (and some other info as well). But you have a few I didn't know about, so I'd like to add them if that's ok with you. Let me know if you'd like to collaborate on keeping that up to date (or something similar in another location).

@Zak8022 Hi I don't own the info so feel free to copy it over if you feel like it. I'll keep this here up to date as it makes sense to me for the info to be on the fediverse rather than outside (I see several github and google drive copies now). There are a few links on reddit point to this post here as well.

Yo, I have used and even forked your page! Cool to run into you. I have put yours and OP's apps into a neat Github .md table with links to communities and Github as well as development status if you are interested in adding it to your page. Would love to contribute.

Zak8022,

Makes one! Glad it’s been useful. I’ll take a look at your fork tomorrow.

doophy,

Google Sheet for tracking this as well.

There another potential app, Fedilab - fedilab.app
Not in development (yet) but there’s some feature requests to support Lemmy/Kbin:
codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/issues/886
codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/issues/887

As excited as I am about the Fediverse and its diversity, this is the real dream. I'm afraid efforts are splintering into too many redundant apps (15 at this point across both platforms) when they could be focused on the one app to rule them all with clean, working interfaces for as many federated applications as possible. With Fedilab already supporting Friendica, Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, Peertube, and even GNU Social (with plans to support CalcKey), adding Lemmy / Kbin would be a game changer for me and many others. Add Funkwhale and maybe WordPress and it's game over you never need to download any other apps.

Here is another kbin app to add, from the developer of pixelfed:

you can add one more to the list for Kbin:
https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110587136358486606
@dansup

He already created https://pixelfed.org/ (Instagramm like interface for the fedivers) and https://fedidb.org/ (tracking of the fedivers growth)

Very talented and hard working! Very happy to ses that.
