There are now close to 10 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:

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:

TBog,

I’m interested in a foss Android library to wrap the Lemmy API. Any idea? It would make working on Lemmy integration much faster.

Zero idea. Never worked on Android apps myself.

MusketeerX,

Bummer, I guess Jerboa can't handle tables.

I hope one of them displays tables right lol.

This post is a hot mess on jerboa.

joshLaserbeam,

I believe it is because it doesn’t have a closing tag on the spoiler. Lets see if this works:

Name Platform OS Stage Link
Artemis (Kmoon) Kbin, Lemmy (Upcoming) Android, iOS Private Beta (Starts End of June) /c/ArtemisApp@kbin.social
Memmy Lemmy Android, iOS Android Release (Pending Play Store Approval) /c/memmy@lemmy.ml

Liftoff (FOSS) Lemmy Android Under Development Liftoff
Connect Lemmy Android Beta [Connect Release Post], [Connect Community]
Lemon Lemmy iOS Development, Beta in Early July Lemon Introduction, Lemon Community
Summit Lemmy Android Released Summit on Google Play, Summit Demo Video

Actually it appears Jerboa, Thunder, and Summit do not support tables inside spoilers, yet.

TheVampireSaga,

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

Hey @TheVampireSaga just curious but what didn’t you like about Connect? Maybe I can improve it! Thank you.

TheVampireSaga,

• I cannot view my profile, posts or anything like that just My comments.

I can select the instance I'm on but there's no way to view my local instance aside from going onto the sidebar.

You can't hit a Communities name, profile, or someone else's.

I like the layout, but I like everything being able to be viewed on the bottom of the screen.

drgltch,

Nice work. I'm still holding out hope that the RIF dev makes something for Lemmy (Lemmy is Fun?) but I guess I can try out the other android apps on the list once they're a bit more mature.

confetti_8tVST5, (edited )

God Lemmynade is a damn good name

Edit: Just tried it and gotta say its pretty great. Kinda reminds me of infinity for some reason not sure why. Think I'll be using this for a bit to really try it out also its called liftoff now

DustyNipples,

It's a really good app visually too, just trying it out. smooth animations if you like that sort of thing.

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!

Installed and used it for like an hour now, I really like it! A lot smoother than Jerboa, and the UI in dark mode is really nice.

Thank you!

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

didn't know it was FOSS, added the clarification, im tagging the FOSS ones lol, thx, will test, will also try and get it on join-lemmy

zach,

Much appreciated. There a couple bugs left that have been reported but should have those sorted this week. it's working pretty well!

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

testing it for 5 minutes, so far i like it more than jerboa, looking awesome

TooL,

Hmm… Tried it out and it had the same problem as I had with jerboa. Can’t seem to login with my Lemmy.ca account.

water,

RedReader devs said they're interested in supporting Lemmy

https://old.reddit.com/r/RedReader/comments/13ylk42/update_3_reddit_effectively_kills_off_third_party/

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

Seems they will stay on reddit due to an "accessibility exemption" because a lot of blind people use it. And that lemmy is part of. The "long term vision". I won't count on that until I see a verification. However, it seems to be open source so if any lemmy devs make PRs we could accelerate this "long term vision" and bring it ourselves to Lemmy and then the dev, I imagine, would support it.

ImFresh3x,

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.

Coeus,

Jerboa just got an update today

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

nice, did it solve markdowen table?

wasabi,

Yes

Coeus,

I honestly have no idea

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

ez to know by looking at the post and knowing if the table works or not kek, but alright, the consensus is that yes/no.

Coeus,

Oh sorry, the table looks fine to me.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

awesome! ty :)

Fraeco,

Play store still has 0.0.33 from the 10th of June. And that one doesn't parse the markdown table in this post.

MrComradeTaco,

i didn't get it yet, moved to connect.

kwot,

Well this is a good sign! We may be becoming legit competition guys

Faendol,

I'm curious if an app that works on top of the protocol is possible so that it could use accounts from both kbin and Lemmy.

Quill7513,

Even if an app just went pure activity pub, Lemmy and KBin spec which activity pub constructs map to which constructs differently. An app would still need to pick one as a first class citizen

ElvenMithril,

Thank you for your servise! 😁

southsamurai,
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

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

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

homemade sin

lol

i added it to the list

(shameless promotions) wefwef (https://wefwef.app) is an apollo-like progressive webapp, currently targetting iOS, in development!

It's open source too.
