Well that's three apps for Lemmy on iOS with two being directly inspired by Apollo
Choice is great and all but at this small scale feels like unnecessary replication of work
This one at least will be on Android and iOS
Memmy is react native so it should be cross platform too. Only Mlem is Swift and iOS only
Artemis is going to be cross platform I'm pretty sure. Which is good. On Android, Jerboa is okay but still kinda rough.
That's great! I hope this would get people to take the app and use it more, I'm hearing alot from other people about how it's difficult to use.
TIL there is an android app.
There's three. Jerboa (the most mature), Lemmur (abandoned), and Thunder (currently broken)
Only for Lemmy. Not natively for Kbin, although you can access it via federated Lemmy instances.
It doesn't bother me at all. Alternatives mean more chances to find something that fits my needs.
gotta start somewhere.
And we only need one big instance of kbin, and a single web browser, OS etc
Lemmy has 2 apps. I believe this is the first for Kbin, but it also works for lemmy.
There’s an open need - and a winner isn’t really determined yet. Let’s see how it plays out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
While there are a few apps for Lemmy now, afaik this is the only app currently for Kbin users. More competition in the space will only make all of the apps better in my opinion.
Since when is more choice a bad thing?Especially now when we're at the beginning of everything blowing up in popularity. Im going to try all the apps and decide which UI I like using most, just like I did with RiF, relay, sync, etc. The more developers the fediverse attracts the better imo.
It's just like, at what point are your goals so similar that you might as well collaborate?
Collaboration is great but you wouldn't tell a solo musician to just join a band because they make similar music. I look forward to checking out everyone's take on their app ideas.
As a programmer myself, collaborating on projects can often be more complex than simply "adding features." It's not uncommon to encounter challenges such as mismatched preferences in technologies, differing architectural choices, or even divergent design aesthetics that can dampen interest. Moreover, the original creator may not appreciate the proposed changes and could reject them outright.
Awesome! If you need beta testers let us know 💖
Edit: found the link in your comments, added myself 👍
Excellent! The web app for kbin is not great so looking forward to an android native lemmy and kbin app what I can use instead of Jerboa too
More clients is always cool, I hope Infinity for Reddit dev makes a port to Lemmy. I'm surprised that being FOSS there is still no community port or a fork or nobody has mentioned it yet (or at least I am not aware of it).
It'd be nice to have a Kbin app on android. I signed up for a lemmy instance because none existed and I didn't like using the web interface on mobile.
Ok, sharing mastodon posts isn't as easy as I thought 😅
That's fine, that's what the development lifecycle is for :P
Looks very slick. I look forward to having options.
Looks Great! Can’t wait to give this a try.
Here is her signup for the private beta: Beta signup
Thanks, just signed up.
Just signed up! Thanks for sharing the link!
I have been testing both !memmy@lemmy.ml and !mlemapp@lemmy.ml and both still have some bugs to work out, but they are progressing quickly. Memmy for instance had 2 updates just today, with another option with in the way of Artemis it is looking like we will have some, if not plenty of choice.
Nice! If I may, can i add a feature request? Can you also add a way to hide seen posts? But the app looks awesome so far, its exciting how quickly this platforms are growing.
Using jerboa for Android and this is one thing I sorely miss.
This is already a feature in lemmy itself. You go to user settings, and uncheck "show read posts". Works in Jerboa.
Sorry I misread the comment I replied to. I'm using that feature you mention and it's quite useful. What I actually miss is being able to hide a post without reading it. I used that feature a lot in RIF.
Ah, we have a similar gripe there, I'm used to being able to dismiss posts in the feed, like in Relay. Going back and forth toggling the setting is not ideal.
I'm not related with the project. Just wanted to share that information that popped up in my timeline.
She has a feature request section on her discord, if you’re interested
Damn this looks incredible, can't wait for release
@ottk3 Yeah, it looks cool but I was infinity user and loved it. I tried almost all reddit client(Rif, Sync, boost, Joey, Slide, Relay, and so on)but nothing could beat infinity. And the iOS apps were not that good either(that was probably cause i was using iPhone 5s). And it would probably be easier to do infinity clone as it is open source.
Yeah, I really want to try to carve out some time and try to build something more similar to my favorite 3rd party app (Narwhal). Choice is definitely key here.
Eyy another infinity user! Went from using RIF to infinity and never really looked back. Well up until now ofcourse
This is great! I absolutely love it! Can't wait for it to be released!
