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:

felsklette,

Boost for Reddit could become Boost for Lemmy https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy It's the same dev atleast https://old.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/14ehiqs/_/jouvuok/

hmm, says it's to avoid impersonation, maybe he just doens't want anyone snatching the name and wants to leave it as an option, or he's just parking the name lol idk

kaestov,

That would be perfect, I am going to miss Boost.

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

dessalines, (edited )

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

@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

Currently busy a work. Will leave this message unread for when I have time. If someone else does it faster I wouldn't mind.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

Zetaphor,

Add another one for Android, Connect for Lemmy, to the list:

glibg10b,

The table ironically doesn't render on Jerboa

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

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

dessalines,

That’s in the next release.

d00phy,

I've created a Google Sheet with all the info from this thread if anyone wants to help maintain it.

wasabi,

Jerboa does not like this table

cryomancer20x6,

Yeah, it is pretty bad.

maiskanzler,

Someone above said it'll be in the next release. So it might just be days away.

rbits,

Or maybe even now

wasabi,

That someone above is the jerboa (and lemmy) maintainer

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

ah lol, doesn't have a markdown table parser

Cobe98,

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

thesanewriter,

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.

weirdo_from_space,

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.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

look for Dawn's dev

InEnduringGrowStrong,
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

Relay for Lemmy would be so nice

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

make it happen

Patch, (edited )

Somebody's also forking/resurrecting Lemmur. I believe they're currently settled on "Lemmynade" as the new name.

if u add em to the table i'll copy it over

hardypart,

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

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

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

Kinski,

I am so happy Sync will be Back. ljdawson knows how to make great UI

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

100% agreed

kudzu,

This is so exciting! I love having a variety of apps to choose from and it's cool to the enthusiasm going into it

ChristinWhite,

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

Lilkev,

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.
