Hello everyone, I recently started working on a Gtk client for Lemmy written in Rust, called Lemoa and the awesome Relm4 crate.

So far, it supports most of the basic things that do not require a login, like viewing trending posts, browsing communities, viewing profiles, etc… Login features are planned to become added within the next one or two weeks, so that Lemoa can be used as a replacement for the web UI on a desktop.

Screenshot of an example community page:

Id you want to feel free to already try it at “alpha stage” (installation instructions are in the Readme).

Feedback and any kind of contributions welcome!

PS: I’m sorry if that’s the wrong place to post about it, I didn’t know where else to.

    I completely agree, if a project has not photos I just assume the UI is terrible and look for an alternative.

    It’s the bare minimum to include screenshots if you want people to be interested off the cuff. I’m not going to clone the repo and build the project it just to see what it looks like.

      As already stated out, the project is still in alpha. Apart from that, there is a screenshot in the post …

        Apologies, I was just agreeing with the commenter above, I didn’t mean to bring negativity to your project. My comment was more just an excuse to comment on Lemmy to get some engagement on the platform.
