Links to a hopefully growing list of lemmy clients.

There is an official FOSS lemmy app for Android called Jerboa that I'm using to create this post and it seems to work pretty well but that's not all, there's an iOS app, some BBS looking thing and some libraries that interact with reddit..

Wonder how useful those will be once the api changes happen in July, maybe worth trying them while you can..

What app are you using? Any thoughts about how they work? Just the website seems on your phone seems way more usable then any official reddit anything which is nice.

Man, I can't find the submit post button..πŸ˜… Edit: i had to select a community first

Actually, the web UI works/renders surprisingly well in mobile Safari on iOS, so I'll be sticking with that for now.

Tragically, I was looking into this this morning only to find that the sole iOS app is no longer available. Android is really spoilt for decentralized social media apps πŸ˜†

iOS has an official app for Lemmy called Mlem. It’s currently in beta testing but it’s open to any one that downloads TestFlight and accepts the request.

could you share a link to it on the app store? Can't find it :/

[–] ticklemyIP@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Lemmy has a progressive webapp if apps don't work out for some people.

Another Jerboa user here, pretty neat app but there are times where it becomes a little unresponsive on my device. Feels pretty similar to Infinity which is something I like.

The lemmyBB project from that list seems pretty neat though, could be an old-school way to browse lemmy on a desktop and might even benefit some communities depending on the primary format of content.

Hoping we get some more Android app variety for Lemmy, although imo we're spoiled for choice when looking at available apps for other federated software

Another guy leaving Reddit here..

I've been looking into the platform the last few days and kinda like the idea of it, but I mainly browse these stuff through my phone and there are not many apps (let alone any mature ones, especially on iOS).

Mlem looks good but is really basic right now.

So I decided last night I'm going to give it a try and work on a Lemmy client app in my spare time. Mainly as a coding exercise but mostly because I really want a proper app for this.

I built this in a few hours and so far the API seems pretty straightforward so I'm cautiously optimistic about it.

Heavily inspired by Apollo, as you can see πŸ˜…

I have tried both Jerboa and lemmur. I don't mind either but both have given me issues logging in from tiem to time.
