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
  • Kbam (iOS, kbin, lemmy): link
  • Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • Beyond (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
  • Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
  • Slide (Android, lemmy): link
  • Sync (Android, lemmy): link
  • Connect (Android, lemmy): link
  • Summit (Android, lemmy): link
  • Lemon (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Liftoff (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • Boost (Android, lemmy): link
  • Bean (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • WefWef (Web App, lemmy): 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 a very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

    Not much love for Kbin! </3

    But I get it, without an official API, it’s a lot of work to get one going. I just refuse to use Lemmy, so I’m committed on getting a Kbin app ASAP. We’re just about to have alpha.1 build ready and it’s pretty darn usable.

    EDIT: me not going w Lemmy was due to devs. I still think it’s a viable platform for the fediverse, especially with all the instances out there besides theirs (and being open source). Kbin being completely separated just felt like the right choice for me when picking between the two.

      I much prefer kbin to lemmy so I really appreciate you putting in the effort! I put myself on the alpha list and I look forward to it. :)

      Just communicate with the kbin developers a lot, ernest did disable the api for now because he might change it.

        Yeah, following along the active PR for the site’s API closely :)

        Rn using homegrown one based on their DTOs. Using a scrapper. Just so we can run a small scale private beta. Has help us get a lot of the core functionality in place. Currently the app is looking pretty good.

        Not OP but if I had to hazard a guess, it’s because the lemmy devs are allegedly tankies. The lemmy main dev’s banner is a pic of mao zedong

          Tankies? Not familiar with that one.

          I signed up for kbin because it was easier to understand. Lemmy looked neat but figuring out which instance to join was hard. As for the developers supporting China… well, Lemmy is open source and the whole point is to make something where you don’t have to agree with the people running it.

            There are alleged members of the communist party who are mods at lemmy.ml, or some kind of Chinese state apologists. Those who seek freedom of speech should be forewarned of this.

            how about any lol, any major instance is ok

            and yeah lemmy is open source, there’s a lemmy instance for every point on the political spectrum, devs being commies makes no difference for the end result which is a very diverse (fe)diverse

              Do they have right to be commies? Sure.

              Do I have right not to use their project because of that? You betcha! Especially since there is good (if not better) alternative (kbin)

          I’ve seen that “problem” a lot, but they give away the source code for free as proper communists should do, and then it’s out of their hands. Just don’t go to lemmygrad.ml.

            Microsoft also makes a lot of open source software but there’s people that want to stay the fuck away from it.

            As for me, I just prefer the Kbin layout.

    Could you update the list with the release status of each app? Some apps are available via FlightTest, some are closed Betas, some need AltStore sole loading, some are only announcements with screenshots.
