I really appreciate the effort you put in this. Looks really good.

Thank you!

@ruud@lemmy.world I am having trouble editing this post further. When I edit and click save, it just keeps spinning and never finishes.

Any tips on how to get around it?

Could you check how many characters it is? There seems to be an issue with long posts. I will create an issue for the devs if there isn’t one already

Could be 10k round actually. This lorem ipsum post fails at 10,001 character https://lemmy.world/post/639394

Edit: This seem to be the issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3262

Hmm that sux. Don't see if they did something to fix that. I could try raising that to 50000 by editing the file but that would be un-done after every upgrade...

Well to me it looks like they resolved it, and increased the limit to 50k, so I guess in the next release you will update the server? For now, I can be more conservative with the characters.

Not confirmed, but it seems like it starts failing at 9810 characters

Been using Memmy on iOS for about 36 hours. Great so far and a dev team that doesn’t sleep apparently lol. Updates daily by the looks of it.

Updates several times daily, actually. And they've got three devs across different time zones which is why there's constant development on the app

Thunder is quite nice! It has a minimalist design and very smooth animations. The swipe feature to upvote/downvote comments is very neat.

I quite like Thunder design.

Wefwef really positively surprises me. It clearly draw heavy inspiration from Apollo but in a good way

I hope it comes to the app stores soon i like it a lot

It’s pwa app. I have a doubt about it’s coming to store as a native app.

Jerboa user checking in. It's still a little rough here and there, but overall quite usable. Defintly a promising app.

I've just announced my upcoming iOS and Android app, Bean and wrote a post about it here https://lemmy.world/post/925265

Looks good!

You can add Liftoff! under macOS too. We’ve not done any work specifically to make it a first class Mac app, but it installs and runs perfectly using TestFlight for Mac.

Edit: sorry just realised that this is the original post reformatted. Looks really good, great work!

Can you please add Liftoff to F-Droid? ❤️

Thank you, added.

Change the text Github to Source Code.

Slide for Lemmy has a GitHub, alpha release, and an icon distinct from Slide for Reddit.

https://github.com/bqv/slide

Added, thanks!

Also it works pretty well for an alpha release and has already a ton of customization settings.

Looks like this needs to be updated:

Thanks for the list. I don't want to go through the effort of installing from github so am just trying the web apps for now.

Wefwef is really good so far!

Its really not that much effort. You dont need to compile from source. Just go to releases and download the latest apk

Now you can directly run it in Chrome or Firefox no need to download anything

Wefwef is now Voyager.

https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/releases/tag/0.18.0

Can we get F-Droid links for those that have them?

Good idea, I added Fdroid link for those I could find

Ouch lol, so few XD

Am I the only psycho who has all the Android apps installed?

I'm also testing 6 different apps at once lol

Lemmy overdose.

Which one do you like the most?

So far Jerboa, although I downgrade it to .34 because lemmy.wold still hasn't updated the instance and it was misbehaving.... random crashes for example.

I think it is the most functional app although I miss swipe actions, but Monet support inside the app and with the icon already available won a spot in my home screen lol.

I second this, feels like the most complete and polished

Not OP but Summit is so much smoother than all the others

I've used Connect, Boost, Jerboa, and Sync so far. Boost is the most customizable, but I'm stuck on Sync because it's the only one I've found that has a feature none of the others do: you can go to individual instances! All the other apps are limited to everything, your home instance, or individual communities. It seems like such an obvious feature, I'm surprised more apps don't have it.

Have you considered making a push request to the lemmy github to include this on the join lemmy app section?

Good idea, I will do it. Thanks

Maybe good to mention that Jerboa currently only works on 0.18 servers, which aren't too many yet.

Is it the v0.0.35 version? Because I am using v0.0.34 and it still works. I will note that in the post

I think so, I don't use Android so can't test.

Yes, exactly. 0.0.35 only works with instances that are on lemmy 0.18.

I believe the reverse is also the case: 0.0.34 and below don't work with instances that are on 0.18.

I also have not checked this, but I would not be surprised if other apps have trouble with 0.18 instances currently.

Depends on your instance as well

Could you add an (Announced) or similar to boost?

Done, thanks!

Can you add me too. Desktop/mobile/Android/Ios all in one.

https://createlab.io/https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte

Though I see now mine looks just like wefwefs and they're way ahead of me so I lost quite a bit of motivation to do this.

Very important note: We need Oauth. Putting your username/password onto an external app is not safe. A malicious dev can log all of it.

Added, thank you.

You can feel free to create a post promoting your website.

If you are doing similar things, maybe it makes sense to merge forces and collaborate. It should get you faster to the goal, so no need to lose motivation ;) Let me know if you decide to merge with wefwef.

Hi, Avelon is now on the AppStore!

App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/avelon-for-lemmy/id6450952178

Also there's a new app icon too:

I like liftoff a lot if anything, also they have amold dark mode!

Only thing I don't like is it posting the entire image.

Lemmynade not available on iOS yet. Looking forward to ares.

Thanks, removed Lemmynade from IOS

Infinity has been renamed Eternity

Codeberg

IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo

Google Play

Nice list! Btw, Voyager is now on the App Store and Play Store! :)

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762?platform=iphone

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.vger.voyager

Thanks for the list! I read they're also making Artemis available for Android.

Thank you, updated!

You're welcome! And thanks again for the list. It's really nice to have everything in one place.

Great list. I’m amazed how excited everyone is about Lemmy. This really is going to happen.

Fyi Limbo and Lemmynade have combined forces, and are now Liftoff!

Thank you for the information. I updated the list

Wefwef is the goat 🐐

I am loving Thunder right now. You have to run it through TestFlight. It is absolutely kickass on an iPad in split screen.

yes, it's very snappy

@rist097@lemmy.world Liftoff is now on the playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liftoffapp.liftoff&pli=1

Thank you, added

Ah yes, thanks. Missed the row, fixed

For me right now the best is Mlem.

Great list. I'm favouring Connect right now, closely followed by LiftOff. Jerboa is now having problems logging me into instances and Lemmur looks good but won't connect at all for me :(. Wefwef & Summit look like they need more work for me

jerboa won't work until other instances update to the latest version, I wasn't the biggest fan of it over connect or liftoff.... but I love finding all these new apps to play with :)

I'm having fun with these apps. Jerboa is working now :)

Lemmur is deprecated and liftoff is the current fork of it

I like Liftoff a lot. I hadn't twigged that about Lemmur, there's too many apps for me to keep track :)

Liftoff is super slow and buggy for me rn, idk why

It's buggy for me on lemmy.world. A bit better on other instances

The Liftoff app has changed its TestFlight account - I couldn't get the TestFlight links currently posted to work, so I assume they aren't current. If you click their community's link, it'll say where they are now. I would link it.. but I haven't figured out how to do that yet lol.

You can add Voyager to the list of native iOS clients (also new icon): https://testflight.apple.com/join/nWLw1MBM

Great update from Thunder a few minutes ago. Has an additional tab for inbox, the app is getting really solid.

Playing with Jerboa and Lemmynade here. Not to sure which I prefer yet but leaning towards Lemmynade but will see what Jerboa brings once Lemmy.world is updated to 18.1.

Arctic for iOS could be added to the list arctic@lemmy.world

This post needs an update. Many of these apps are no longer functioning and some changed names/links..

Looks like the OP may be inactive, they haven't posted in 2 months. I think the community might need a new mod. @ruud@lemmy.world @lwadmin@lemmy.world

Might wanna add infinity since it's released

Fennec's dev here: changed name for Fennec to Arctius to stop the confusion.

arctius@lemmy.world

Ok, updated!

Can someone tell me which one is the most similar to RiF on android. I am new here and just signed up recently

I don't know to answer your question. But you should make a post with that question you will have higher chance someone sees your question. This thread should be only for suggesting new apps to add to the list

Ok thanks!

Lemmynade has a new icon:

Also, the current focus is the desktop site and touch-friendly web app. iOS and Android releases are a lower priority for now so it might best to remove it from those lists until announced

It might be worth adding the TestFlight links to the iOS section:

Memmy - https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

Limbo/Liftoff - https://testflight.apple.com/join/e6ZEbxuR

Mlem - https://testflight.apple.com/join/MelFP11Y

Thunder - https://testflight.apple.com/join/9n8xrqvH

Added, thank you for the help.

Just FYI Liftoff has now changed their TestFlight (the old one still exists for now but won’t get more updates)

https://testflight.apple.com/join/jKENkGjX

Thanks edited

Happy Halloween! I made a (spooky) web app for Lemmy at called Phantom.

Check it out at lemmyphantom.com!

This is currently a reader app (no login functionality) but I would love any feedback from the community!

Some features include:

  • Dark/Light Mode
  • Various formats (card, narrow, masonry)
  • Themes
  • Accessibility (dyslexia font)
  • NSFW controls (blur, filter)
  • Privacy focused (not even Google Analytics)

Edit: Many more features now added since writing this comment (including authentication)

Thanks for the list. I've been using a mixture of both Jerboa and Connect so far. They're both good but as is there's still a lot of room for improvement to bring them the extra mile. Also excited for when Sync releases as well for Lemmy. It was my app of choice for Reddit and I hope that it will become my app of choice for Lemmy as well once it releases.

Thanks, I'll put a link to this post in the Getting Started post.

Yes of course. Its continously updated

Thank you for this

Thunder is now on the Play Store! Might wanna edit the post to link it.

Sure, thanks for the hint!

really liking wefwef so far as someone who used to use Apollo for iOS

Glad to see Leomard on the list :D

Just tried Beyond, and have currently switched to Infinity from Liftoff. Beyond is in a very early stage, Infinity seems pretty good, especially considering it is also very new. Liftoff is very stable, but I'm not sure if I would stick with it, now that Infinity is a thing.

Seems it instantly crashes on Android.

What crashes?

Jerboa. At least it opens for a second on my Pixel then crashes.

Really? For me it works fine. Did you download it from Github or google play store?

Please note that I made this community only to keep track of news about new clients and updates. For an issue about Jerboa its probably better to go to Jerboa community or github issues

Works for me too, using the build from F-droid Pixel 6a

Play store, so it's probably an issue with that version? The mobile site is still plenty usable, thanks for the heads up about the Jerboa community.

Yeah, same. I'm using Samsung S21 and it will instantly crash.

Never had it crash on my S22. Installed it from the playstore

Mine too P7p installed from the playstore.

Jerboa from the Android App Store instantly crashes for me as well.

Download v0.0.34 from Github releases. Post is updated!

By the way, alpha testing for Artemis has begun. Granted it's only for kbin at the moment, but there's only a limited amount of testers. Lemmy will be available when open beta rolls around!

Do you mind making a post or repost on the sub with more details on how to sign up for beta testing? It will be more visible that way.

Beta testing signup form & discord link

Looks like Lemmynade is a web app rather than an Android client?

Yep, that’s correct, it’s a touch-friendly installable web app. It’s still in the plans to have app store releases, but we’re quite some time out from that and it’s not a priority at the moment.

Don’t know if they would ever see this but if the developer for the Calipso app for Squabblr wanted to port or build an app for Lemmy I would be in full support! The app was what made Squabblr worth interacting with for me. Once I saw he deleted his account and removed the app from the App Store I deleted my Squabblr account too.

Sync For Lemmy on Android is in "pre-registration", i.e. it will automatically install when it becomes available.

syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Thanks for this list. Maybe pin this post?

Artemis TestFlight is open: https://testflight.apple.com/join/DmJTH3he

Arctius is now in the playstore in early access

I do a search on github from time to time and add projects that have a build ready. Great work!

Interesting. Well, pleased to be part of this list!

Can I have the community for Photon added too?

photon@lemmy.xylight.dev

Sure!

Thanks!

https://lemmyapps.netlify.app

Liftoff doesn't seem to be a macOS client, though?

Well there are instructions for IOS on github. But I know nothing about IOS to verify

Not sure what you mean, I’m talking about macOS, not iOS.

True, I mistaken the Iphone OS. Yes there is nothing for MacOS, I will remove it, thanks.

A Lemmy fork of Infinity for Reddit has been announced

https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy

https://lemdro.id/post/137448

Leanish now has an icon and a website: https://natoboram.github.io/Leanish/lemm.ee/post/363116

Infinity and Dawn for Everything are available in early alpha.

This list could maybe do with a bit of an update? A few additions, Raccoon & Muffed for android, & some dropping off, abandoned, or no longer being developed/maintained: Arctius (Fennec), Artemis, Beyond, Liftoff, Lemming, Lemmotif, Slide, to name a few, & some that never saw the light of day..🤷🏻‍♂️

there is also the OG iOS app that might come back https://github.com/uuttff8/Remmel

Thanks, added

I really enjoy using Thundet

Hi OP, the official community for Boost is go live https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy

Lemminator is a web UI that aims to make Lemmy more approachable for a broad non-technical audience. It can be hosted by Lemmy instance owners, and Lemmy.world users can use https://lemminator.netlify.app/.

lemming github link broke

Is Memmy now only for iOS? i thought it was originally being developed for both?

@remindme@mstdn.social 5 days

Slide, yay.

It's awesome that so many are coming to Lemmy. I'll be keeping an eye on these apps. Many things to try out. :)

Does anyone know of an app that checks the following requirements?

  1. Has an equivalent Reddit app (I think Boost and Sync are examples of this?)

  2. It can remember where you left off even if you close the app. Suppose I'm browsing the top of all time of a particular sub and I want to keep going later just where I left it. Is this something possible with apps or only with mobile browsers?

  3. Doesn't have issues playing both videos and gifs.

Boost looks so good!

Lemmy on android has an estimated 177k installs.

Can you please add muffed for lemmy

GitHub: https://github.com/freshfieldreds/muffed

Community: muffed@sh.itjust.works

Currently Memmy and Mlem are both the best, Mlem looks better but Memmy already has almost 100% of the features

The Liftoff app has changed its TestFlight account - I couldn't get the TestFlight links currently posted to work, so I assume they aren't current. If you click their community's link, it'll say where they are now. I would link it.. but I haven't figured out how to do that yet lol.

Why the obsession with apps? Apps are pushed by companies because they can show ads regardless of installed ad blockers and because they can harvest more data about you to sell to advertisers. Because of this they've been progressively making the mobile web worse for years now to force people onto their apps.

But it doesn't need to be that way. Mobile websites can operate just as effectively as mobile apps and I think this website is a great example of that. I for one would love not having to click "no, I don't want to open your website in your stupid app, that's why I opened it in my browser" every time I visit a website on my phone. It used to be that way. I'd love to see it that way again, and this site is a step in the right direction.

Gesture and touch controls in general are much smoother in app compared to web browser.

The website is literally unusable on 0.17. It's loading sooo many random posts and everything keeps moving around.

I wouldn't be here without apps. Can't wait for 0.18.1 though.

Huh, I haven't had that experience yet. Which app do you like the best so far, just in case it starts doing that to me?

I use Liftoff :)

That one isn't available through an official play store package though. Right?

While I do agree with you that every website today expects you to have an app. I will certainly in most cases prefer a website instead of app for websites that I don't use very often.

For websites that I do use often, I prefer to use a polished app that I find the most comfortable to use. Then there is accessibility problem for people who cannot use the web version, which can be solved by apps.

That's understandable. I prefer to install as few apps as possible, so seeing a functional and modern mobile website here was a breath of fresh air.
