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.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

Zero idea. Never worked on Android apps myself.

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]

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.

Leftbones,

Which is closest to Apollo?

I don’t really like Memmy, I can’t get into Mlem because the beta is closed, right now I’m on Limbo and it’s alright.

darknavi,

Mlem is fairly close (or at least going in that direction)

Artemis is heavily inspired by Apollo, even in the name!

baascus,

YMMV You can download from github and install from Xcode if you missed the beta

gkd,
@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

Sorry you’re not liking it! Totally open to feedback and have been slowly moving along to getting feature requests implemented. I’d you’d like to chat about it just reach out 👍

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

the kbin one by Hariette, she says, is based on Apollo. She says this here: https://tech.lgbt/@hariette/110562926792208789

I don't know if any other is based on apollo, as u can see on the table i have only had time to go through 3 of the links, feel free to check out all the links and lmk if there's one closer to apollo for lemmy

nxlemmy,
@nxlemmy@lemmy.ml avatar

Hopefully she open sources it, the screenshots look great.

nxlemmy,
@nxlemmy@lemmy.ml avatar

Artemis and Mlem so far.

NSA_Server_04,

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

god, (edited )
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

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

liara,

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

cryomancer20x6,

I really love Sync a lot. I do, however, have high hopes for Jerboa. This is the first time I have ever been an early adopter of software and ok with the product.

Rolldach,

I am using the Memmy app: https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy you’ll need TestFlight but it works really well

AwkwardPenguin,

And daily updates!!! The dev is very nice and fast.

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

kuro_neko,
@kuro_neko@lemmy.ca avatar

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.

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!

Barbarian,
@Barbarian@sh.itjust.works avatar

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.

MusketeerX,

Bummer, I guess Jerboa can't handle tables.

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.

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.

ChristinWhite,

Is the link to Artemis wrong or did it get deleted?

Lilkev,
Lilkev avatar

Working fine for me, but I'm on kbin.social

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

works for me.

ChristinWhite,

Thanks! Yep, working now for me too, must have been a temporary thing.

dsdsds13,

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

gkd,
@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

Just trying to do my part for you guys :)

gornar,
@gornar@lemmy.world avatar

Memmy is my go-to app! Yer doing great work, thank you!

Ado,

I was just looking for the Memmy community to come say thank you. The app is great, especially with the latest UI update. Appreciate your work to push this project forward (:

Juviz,

How do you manage all the updates? Is this your full time job? 😂

knova,

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

gkd,
@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

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.

Sinnz,

A swipe gesture to open the subscribed communities tab would be awesome.

RemorniaLivingBlade,

And I’d love to be able to right swipe to get to the post(s) I visited before (Apollo has it for example). Just a suggestion OFC. All in all I’m really enjoying the app and I’m looking forward to seeing how it will progress 👌🏼.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

^ for anyone curious, gkd is memmy dev

thank you gkd for making memmy

gkd,
@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

🤘

Juviz,

Awesome Bro

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

and so, let the hunger games begin

GizmoLion,
GizmoLion avatar

Except everybody wins. Best kind of problem haha.

kill,

@GizmoLion well some app devs are gonna get bored for sure so we'll see which ones grab a decent userbase and which ones disrupt the dev's life so much that after all that time spent they quit being devs and join a lumberjack's guild nearby to dedicate their lives to deforestation

GizmoLion,
GizmoLion avatar

Weird take but ok.

kill,
kill avatar

@GizmoLion lol, just a perspective from a dev who has loved a few projects for years, and abandoned a few others because holy shit they're just not worth my time

i can see this happening in kbin & lemmy app-world where everyone picks "Ammenides for the Kbemmyverse" and the guy who puts 14 hours a day obsessively into "Omonaia for Cute Kbin" sees just like 3 users who decide to demand loli features and you don't like lolis but you entertain them bc they're your only users but after months of being annoyed by these fuckers you just press alt f4 one day and realize you're being unhappy for a community that's as alien to you as a "caress homeless people when you pass by" hobby club, and decide that enough is enough, and go raise tortoises in a Caribbean island cuz that's all you've always wanted to do but couldn't because you were making loli stickers for a bunch o lolicons cuz you wanted just a tiny bit more attention that you couldn't get in real life due to being isolated in your room 24/7, therefore becoming hostage to your own seclusion-caused feedback loop of depression, loneliness and low self-esteem.

yes, i find suspiciously-specific incoherence funny

SecretPotatoChip,

Boost for lemmy would be awesome.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

It absolutely would. Do check if the dev has considered it.

dessalines,

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.

git,

Boost was my app of choice too and been loving Jerboa. Thank you for all your hard work

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.
