Here’s a glimpse of the community view on Lemmynade! I’m ironing out all the kinks and killing off bugs in preparation for alpha release—specifically improving search, posting, and the desktop layout this week.

Security and privacy are and will always be top priority with Lemmynade. Instances are verified before logging in, your account tokens are highly-encrypted on your own device, and the only data collected by me is simple, anonymous, aggregated statistics. Anything related to your account in any way happens privately on the server-side instead of the client.

Stay tuned on the alpha release date by following !lemmynade@lemm.ee, and as always feel free to ask questions below!

Hey friends and followers,

Here’s a quick look at the comments section in Lemmynade. I’m working full-time on this project and getting more exited to share it with you each day!

Follow !lemmynade@lemm.ee for updates as Lemmynade gets closer to public testing

It’s been a while so I’d thought I’d post an update real quick.

Still hacking away at Lemmynade each day, and Lemmynade now has an icon! Most of the basic features are complete. My focus right now is boosting security and performance. I’ve also got a few more bugs to work out with comments to make sure they’re displaying nicely.

If you’re new here, Lemmynade is a beautiful, touch-friendly web app and public website for Lemmy. The goal is to make Lemmy more approachable, discoverable, engaging, and fun to use through a high-quality user interface.

Follow this community for more, and let me know if there’s anything specific you hope to see in Lemmynade in the comments!

More progress is being made on Lemmynade—the refreshing, one-of-a-kind Lemmy client for the web! Here’s a few screenshots:

App development takes time, and the current focus is getting all basic functionality running smooth before adding extra features. Every Lemmy instance is different and performance varies a lot. Each feature needs to be tested thoroughly to minimize the amount of errors. Errors also must be be handled gracefully when they do happen on slower or overloaded instances so as to not scare people away :) As you can imagine, that's plenty to think about.

That said, we're getting closer to a public release each day. If you want to follow progress and get the alpha link when it drops, updates are being posted to r/lemmynade and this community here at !lemmynade@lemm.ee

Feel free to ask questions or share ideas in the meantime!

Cheers,

With all the amazing apps and services everyone is building for Lemmy lately, I figured I might as well share a sneak-peek of mine too!

Lemmynade is a stunning web client for Lemmy with an emphasis on search engine indexability, great moderation tools, and a familiar pixel-perfect experience.

The goal with this project is to:

• Publish a powerful, publicly-browsable, fully-indexable website where all Lemmy instances are accessible at any time. I’ll be using dynamic SEO, SSR, and smart caching on the edge to encourage search engines to index posts (and also make posts look good when people share them to other platforms).
• Create a solid, familiar UX to make it easier for new users to transition from other social media platforms. Lets face it—we need a great user experience for Lemmy with infinite scrolling, beautiful post presentation, video support, and animated upvotes.
• Prioritize community engagement and moderation tools. You can see it in the colors and the placement of everything—Lemmynade is about the users that make up this community. The goal is to make it simple and quick for you to post, comment, reply, and message other users in the Fediverse. Moderation tools will also get some love as well.
• Eventually release Lemmynade iOS and Android apps. Hopefully, as Lemmynade grows, I’ll be able to release iOS and Android apps. This is not a guarantee and is dependent on the success of the web version and any interest from y’all.

As you can imagine, this is a huge project and will take some time to get to a usable and polished version 1.0. For now, subscribe to this community to follow along—I’ll post updates and more sneak-peeks along the way.

I’ll be sharing more screenshots in the coming weeks as well as a link to the public alpha for you all to try. Stay tuned, and feel free to ask any questions or share ideas!

Cheers,

- Silas
