edited to meet rule #3!
There’s Jerboa for Android, and I think there’s one for iOS too. But people are working on others too I think
Um I don’t really understand that thought. Is there an official Lemmy app? What do you think “third party app” means? Posted from Jerboa for Lemmy…
I’ll be honest: I can see that you’re using kbin.social, but I have no idea what the difference is between that and lemmy. Also, are lemmy.ml and lemmy.world even affiliated with one another? Initially, I thought yes, but now I’m thinking it’s just a similar name for brand recognition purposes, but the four sites below (plus hundreds of others) operate independently from one another and can only see content from the other instances if they select to do so?
Lemmy.world
Kbin.social
It’s not about brand recognition, it’s about spreading the users out over multiple servers so no one instance gets too big/costly/unmanageable. Beehaw just defederated themselves from Lemmy for having “too many trolls from open sign up policy”. I can still see and interact with beehaw from kbin for now, idk how long that will last because kbin also has open sign up.
“Jerboa is a app for Lemmy, a federated reddit alternative. Jerboa is made by Lemmy’s developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever.”
Id say ‘created by the creaters’ is as close as we can get to a first party app
I’m not having a go or anything. I’m loving this whole transition period. I do miss my boost app though! Does jerboa connect to kbin? or just lemmy? I should go find that out for myself. brb. Also realise that others are most likely being worked on.
Just lemmy, far as I know. There’s one in development called Kmoon, but I can’t currently pull up a link and it’s still in development anyway. I do really miss Boost, though. The tagging system was both fun and useful, and color-coding the threads made them SO much easier to follow if I had to scroll back up for something right quick
plugging the app’s magazine /m/kmoon ;)

Ah, but there are also no ads and to my knowledge I’ve yet to see one single bot. For the near future, anyway. Besides, it’s not like I’d still have them in a few weeks if I weren’t here
If this thing catches on, there will be bots here in no time at all. It’s also easy to ask Chat GPT to write a comment for you responding to a specific prompt. I’m curious to see how it pans out as people join and continue to interact with the site, especially after June 30 when RIF access gets cut off for good.
for ios there is mlem and memmy on testflight. lots of people are working on cool projects on github
Browsing on memmy right now, it’s pretty cool. Mlem was unstable for me, waiting on an update.
