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:

  • Artemis (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
  • Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • Beyond (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • Limbo (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
  • Slide (Android, lemmy): link
  • Sync (Android, lemmy): link
  • Unnamed (kbin): link

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 (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357) so things should get better with time. Some of the apps are in very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

It would be nice to have a list of these to check on in a year time when they feel less like an alpha version.

I've been using Jerboa for a feel days and i liked, but sometimes it crashes when i click a link, i also wanna to build my own qt desktop app on the weekends, if everything goes as planed i may upload to github later. I will also take a look on those other apps later

Hot take: I think lemmy is better as desktop only, as it encourages a greater degree of depth in terms of conversation. Mobile apps are basically just there purely for monetization by the developers, and they encourage users to engage with their communities superficially (upvote, post an emoji, doomscroll, repeat forever).
