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.

Shameless plug (sorry) but I’m working on one too! It’s a web app that works on both desktop and mobile: https://slemmy.libdb.so.
It is a free-time kind of project (I work on it after my actual working hours), so it might not grow at the same pace as other newer apps, but I’m trying!
Source code is at https://libdb.so/slemmy, AGPLv3 license.

Oh…
That’s right…
Who ran that bot anyway?
Somebody get the StabBot guy, too.
It is real nice to see how lemmy/kbin, and activitypub in general, progressing. It kinda… gives me a bit of hope for the future? Either way, am happy :D

Announcement: beehaw.org/post/831266
The announcement link is a 404
I think this one should work https://lemmy.ca/post/831266
Genuinely did not expect to see Slide on here, now I’m all excited.
So many developers working on apps for Lemmy. I hope there are just as many dedicated individuals interested in improving Lemmy’s source itself.

Gratitude to anyone working on any of these apps. I mean, that is very cool of you to do. We appreciate.
Thank you! Bookmarking right now.
Mlem is no longer on testflight, they just announced a change in leadership, so hopefully it continues with development. Seems like it will, given their announcement: https://beehaw.org/post/693759
That’s strange. I just received an update overnight for Mlem on TestFlight. Maybe it’s just closed to new registrations? IMO it is the most polished of the iOS apps.
It was his last update before changing leadership. IDK what the status will be after that.
Just tried Limbo, though, and loving it!
I don’t understand, as in it slows down?

lol I’m in the Slide screenshot, hi mom!
The slide for Lemmy makes me sooo happy. My mouth is hanging open and I’m just… I cannot freaking wait!! Thank you 🙏
Oh I’m not the author I just have a post on the screenshot. I’m excited to, I want to slay Slide was the first client I tried over a decade ago!
Excited to use sync with Lemmy, it’s been my main Reddit app for the better part of a decade
Same here, what a polished experience. I’m glad I found Lemmy… otherwise I’d be settling for using the garbage official Reddit app.
Reddit posts on lemmy via RSS, multiple clients blooming, nodes welcoming the exodus, the fediverse is thriving. Might be the one thing we can show spez some gratitude for!
I’ve tried a couple for Lemmy so far and Jerboa is the one I keep going back to. I’m excited to see new developments on everything though.
I’ve been using Jerboa but I’ve run into so many things that just don’t work. It’ll randomly crash when trying to open community links, I can’t consistently get back to previous comments that I’ve made (to view replies, etc), and a handful of other things.
I’m not angry, cuz I understand that this app is relatively new and the platform as a whole is having a lot of growing pains, but I just wanted to say that I have definitely had some issues with this app.
I’m sorry that you’re having those issues. I haven’t noticed any of those things. I do wish you luck in finding the right app for you.
Searching for some communities on other instances also seems broken on Jerboa. I had to go to the lemmy.zip site and follow a certain one from lemmy.world from there.
I’m working on a native iOS app called Olympus too(‘: it’s built with all the new SDKs Apple gave us for iOS 17 (meaning only those on the iOS 17 beta will be able to use it). I should have a TestFlight link up by Monday, doing some final smoke testing this weekend before I let all you users try and break it
Please post a comment to https://beehaw.org/post/683217
Running iOS 17 now and using the web app (vlemmy.net). Send me a link when you’re ready.
Would love a testflight link once it’s up, I’m on iOS 17 Dev Beta.
Not only are we gonna get an app… But we’re also gonna get OPTIONS!? Go team!
