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:

NSA_Server_04,

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

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.

StingJay,

Can't wait for the Lemmy Is Fun app!!

anybody got around to putting these into a nice, updated awesome-table on github? Could nicely display which ones are kbin / lemmy, iOS, Android, FOSS, etc.

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

Juviz,

Awesome Bro

and so, let the hunger games begin

GizmoLion,
GizmoLion avatar

Except everybody wins. Best kind of problem haha.

@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

beppi,

There's also thunder, arrived on github like a week ago or something

gkd,
@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

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.

rbits,

Could you publish that build on github? I would love to try it out.

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)

Lilkev,
Lilkev avatar

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.

kadu,
@kadu@lemmy.world avatar

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

x4740N,

Yeah seems pretty sus

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

it never will!!!!!! these 350k users on the lemmyverse are all bots and trolls!!! i bet both my legs that lemmy doesn't even exist

ThatGeekyDad,

Lieutenant Dan, is that you?!

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

idk who that is

thesanewriter,

Lemmy. Who uses that platform? Nobody, that's who.

CarbonIceDragon,
@CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social avatar

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

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

ye but im not sure if it's the same dev, u can check out the link & you'll see there's something going on

theory,
@theory@feddit.uk avatar

Its not

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

^ for anyone curious this is the dev making slide for lemmy

thanks @theory 🥰

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

I really really really want to see Relay for Lemmy on that list.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

go harass the dev

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

I have, a little...

Shiroa,

Is there one currently usable that actually works for kbin?

CMLVI, (edited )
CMLVI avatar

Not currently. And I think the kbin app is actually this, kbin uses /m/ I think? Or maybe I'm just wrong lol

kill,
kill avatar

You're not wrong. The problem is that these links only work on Lemmy.

LollerCorleone,
LollerCorleone avatar

They are working for me on kbin.

cutitdown,

Odd, not for me on kbin. Hmm

fraydabson,

I recommend using your browser and install the Kbin Enhancement Script. Makes it a bit better like collapsing comments. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468612-kbin-enhancement-script

Cloudless,
Cloudless avatar

Does the script work on Android? Which browser?

kill,
kill avatar

@Cloudless only if the browser takes userscripts, there's a few that do. I use Kiwi Browser so I'll just tell you how to do it there. You have to download the script with the name ending in .user.js and go to extensions click the button import and select it. And that's it, it works like an extension. I don't know if the script looks good on android cuz i haven't tested it tho but i have tested many other userscripts.

Shiroa,

The Android version of Firefox supports add-ons. Check if any of the monkey script plugins are compatible (greasemonkey, tampermonkey, violentmonkey)

kill,
kill avatar

@fraydabson lmao i was like "omggg i din't know this existed" and clicked it and it says Reinstall, i already have it lol

1st,

kbin.social has an "app" (at least on Android) but it's just chrome without a url bar. It's not bad, the site itself is pretty well optimized for mobile. No clue what any other kbins are doing.

Coolest thing I've found about it so far is that if you use a dark mode chrome extension and apply it to kbin.social it carries through to the "app"

kill,
kill avatar

No clue what any other kbins are doing

unified frontend software, they're all doing the same thing afaik

cutitdown, (edited )

I can't get it to work for me. I did the add to home screen but it just opens up in a chrome tab for me.

Edit: Turns out I had to disable AdGuard temporarily and then kbin's install app banner popped up and that worked. Only issue is it doesn't respect my device's do-not-rotate setting, but I know somebody has added that as an issue so hopefully will be fixed pulled in to the codebase soon.

Kichae,

Awesome.

I wonder when Calckey and Misskey will get more love.

kill,
kill avatar

are these apps?

Kichae,

They're Fediverse microblogging platforms. Alternatives to Mastodon. Pretty neat ones, at that.

See calckey.social for an example.

nxlemmy,
@nxlemmy@lemmy.ml avatar

Theyre basically upgraded versions of mastodon with better ui.

Awerenj,

I hope someone developes something with a compact view like RIF had. Using jerboa right now and I'm not really comfortable with it. Also for some reason it doesnt support T9 input so thats sad too.

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

You can change the default Jerboa view. It's not quite the same and compact as RIF, but you can at least get it so it doesn't auto show pictures and stuff.

Try "Settings" > "Look and feel" > "List"

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

Memmy has a "compact view", not too similar to RIF tho. You can check it out if you want. It's actually already released and pending play store approval

thetestspecimen,

Jerboa has a "list view" that is very similar to compact view on RIF. That is what I use and I find it similar enough.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

didn't know this, will try it out, thanks

gkd,
@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

Hoping they approve this sometime today. Surprised it's taken this long, but I have a feeling the fact it's a "social media" app is what might get it held up for a bit. We will see though. Apple was much better about this.

As far as the compact view, I'm definitely taking feedback on this right now since frankly I don't ever use that sort of view anyway. Not sure exactly what people want to see. Let me know!

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

have you used rif? might be time to download it and use it while it lasts cuz it won't be there for reference after june 30

I took some screenshots for you.

Eddie,

This is awesome. Choice is always king! Competition means better products. This is going to be fun.

Please will any have hide post on scroll past? Most needed feature on my end.

dont_forget_canada,

as in after you see a post you never want to see it again friend?
