Correction: the pop up for Lemmy should start to appear sometime this weekend
Also apparently confirmed in discord that kbin support will be coming:
Really wish Christian would bring Apollo to Lemmy in the same fashion
Maybe he’s not saying anything but then will drop a fully polished app out of nowhere like that Beyoncé album
My god I wish. But I will say, congrats to Mlem and to Memmy, for pushing out two apollo-esque apps in the spirit of it all
In one interview he said he was exhausted from this ordeal and that he just doesn’t have the energy to rewrite Apollo to Lemmy.
Memmy is already shaping up as a great client. Already very full featured. And with how fast the dev is updating, it’ll be awesome.
Here is a list of Apps coming to Lemmy:

Plenty for iOS to chose from, Christian’s legacy continues. Memmy and Mlem both feel pretty close to Apollo - and are both directly inspired by it.
These apps are in early beta. They have constant updates (daily for Memmy and weekly for Mlem), so you can kind of see them being built in real time. If you’re patient with the developers, you’ll get that Apollo experience very soon. It’s like 80% of the way there.
Liftoff is pretty cool too, though it’s a different design approach.
(I’m using Memmy now, actually.)
I hope instances are preparing for the 2nd wave of Reddit migrants on June 30th
SyncForLemmy sub is unavailable outside the app!
Ljdawson is a fucking legend
This is fantastic. Sync was the best and I tried multiple apps but kept coming back.
I always used baconreader because I’m after really compact and full function with options. I don’t want giant image cards because I’m ten million years old (I’m not, I just like the outcome of having to design around simplicity and efficiency).
However, an actual app? Made by a popular, experienced, and successful app dev? I will 100% pay for and use that even though it’s not my preferred design philosophy.
Lemmy and kbin are… alright as they are, but chrome is such a pos for multitasking and I would really love some clarity and consistency to the ux design across different instances and more and better options.
What I really want, ideally, is baconreader to make a universal fediverse app - but the likelihood of anybody making a universal app and that’s good is very low, let alone my favorite 3rd party reddit app dev that’s already said they don’t plan on it.
Try Jerboa if you’re on Android. It’s made by the Lemmy devs and has had an explosion of activity and growth since Rexxit.
Jerboa is ok. It certainly isn’t perfect but it’s getting there. I’ve always liked baconreader too.
Jerboa is fine, but it’s not as good as some of the Reddit apps.
Anyway it’s great to see developers of Reddit apps releasing apps for Lemmy, because UI wise it’s so close that they will probably be able to reuse most of their code. We’ll get all the maturity of these apps on day 1 of the release, and competition between the apps will be healthy.
