For those of you wondering what all the fuss is about, here’s a quick introduction to the app.
Yes, it’s yet another app for Lemmy, but based heavily on the mature but now abandoned Lemmur project, with a few updates to make it run with the current API and some minor changes to the UI.
Written in Flutter, so it is very multi-platform. We currently have builds available for testing for Android and iOS (also running on iPad and Macs [Apple Silicon only for the moment]). Brave souls can try building it for Linux or Windows and report back on their experiences!
Preview it on iOS at TestFlight or on Android at GitHub.
The source is released under GPL 2.0 and is available at GitHub for inspection, download, build, issue logging and contributions, so go and get it!
Features:
- Fully featured for end users: posting and commenting fully complete.
- Sorting and UI customisation options.
- Light Mode, Dark Mode, System Mode.
- Multiple accounts on multiple servers.
- Bookmark your favourite posts and comments.
- Localisation (work in progress).
- Full search support (posts, comments, users, communities).
- Support for direct messaging.
And here’s a few screenshots:

Built for Android (not released yet)
Runs on iPad and Mac (in TestFlight)
Been enjoying it so far.
You never realize how nice it is to be able to swipe to dismiss an image until you can’t do it anymore.
Keep up the good work!
Just installed it for Android and it already feels so much better than the mobile website or Jerboa. Thanks for the work, I’ll be following the development of the app!
I have a question that might be right to ask here, idk.
My account is on lemmy.world.
Ive added lemmy.ml and a few other instances.
I have subscribed to a few communities on lemmy.world, but when i try to do the same for communities on other instances I’ve added, it says i need to be logged in to that instance. I thought part of the way this worked was only needing one account to interact with all federated instances? Can somebody help me wrap my head around this? Strictly mobile user
I’ve noticed that the super script, spoiler and postscript markup isn’t actually working on the app. The buttons in the formatting bar work, but they don’t do the thing in the actual post.

This is working great on Android. I don’t even want to touch the website anymore. No refresh issue either!
