Is it fork of Mlem?

It isn’t forked from any existing Lemmy client, I built it from the ground up myself. Took me a while to get it of the ground with enough features to make it usable in the day-to-day life, but I’m quite proud of the current state :D

The design has been greatly influenced by Apollo (like a lot of other Lemmy iOS apps), so there might of course be some similarities.

Then good job! Didn’t used Apollo before, but your app looks good too.

Does it work with Kbin?

No, it’s a client specifically built for Lemmy

Damn. So many Lemmy clients and none for Kbin.

From what I understood the API for Kbin is still work in progress. That makes it quite a bit more difficult to create a third party client, which might explain the lack of third party Kbin clients

Artemis is a great app for kbin on iOS. Not sure if it’s available on android or not.

Maybe at some point, since it sounds like a really interesting challenge. But I gotta be honest that it’s quite low on the list

Nice! Being able to embed and play videos/gifs within the app is still rare so this is great! One thing I’d suggest is being able to play media in-line while viewing the post, instead of opening the media file itself to play it. Good job, and I’m looking forward to the growth of the app!

Awesome to hear! I spent quite some time on getting the video player right, so I’m glad to hear people enjoy it (:

The fact that videos don’t play when you’re viewing a post is actually a dumb thing I forgot haha. Videos get a signal to auto play as soon as they get into view of a virtualized list, since it’s not in a list when viewing a post it actually never gets the signal 😅

I’ll make sure that this is fixed it the next release

No worries! Just being able to play them in-app is already great in itself. Autoplaying the video/gif on the post isn’t even strictly necessary IMO. As long as the user has the option to play it while viewing the post is good enough. Then maybe it can be an option in settings to auto-play media if the user wants. Thanks!
