Lemmur is a mobile lemmy client that I and @shilangyu have been working on for quite some time. It's supposed to give you seamless experience when using multiple instances.

It's available for android, windows and linux, although it is mainly targeted towards mobile devices. The experience on other platforms might be less satisfactory.

This is only an alpha release so not everything will be working, there are some parts of the app that aren't finished. But we believe it is usable enough for people to browse their favorite instances.

At the moment we would prefer to focus on fixing bugs rather than implementing arbitrary features so if you have any bugs or crashes please let us know in the comments or create an issue on github. Screen recordings are welcome (github now supports uploading .mp4 and .mov files), it's always easier to understand the problem through visuals rather than words only.

If you'd like to see a version for iOS on the apple app store or just generally would like to support the development you can chip in over on patron or buymeacoffee, which will help cover the $99 developer license.

Here are some screenshots of the app: https://imgur.com/a/B5XhhXQ

Any plans for a release on fdroid? :)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 years ago (1 children)

Fdroid would be really cool, as it is the only appstore I'm using.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

awesome! how's that going? What are your go-to apps?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 years ago

Give us F-droid! :heart suit:

Waiting anxiously to test it out :pleading face:

Congratulations, and thanks so much for lemmur.

Everyone who can please contribute to their patreon, they put a lot of work into it, and lemmur will probably help grow lemmy's userbase more than anything else.

Screenshots would be nice.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 years ago (2 children)

I added some screenshots to the post

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 years ago

thanks, maybe also add them on Github.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 years ago

Looks excellent! 👍

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 years ago

Agreed, I want to see screenshots! :upside-down face:

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 years ago

Installed, working great

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 years ago (1 children)

Nice, I've just created an account and I'm using the app right now. (Never bothered to sign up until now, I guess this encouraged me.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 years ago (1 children)

One thing, is it pronounced Lem - mur or as the word Lemur?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 years ago

Congratulations, awesome app, instantly enjoyed the design. Currently posting this comment from it lol Seriously, thanks so much for this.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 years ago (1 children)

Awesome! Looks like the issue with logging in on Android 11 phones has been fixed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 years ago

I confirm. Though I had to uninstall the previously installed apk in order to be able to install the newer version.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 years ago* (last edited 4 years ago) (1 children)

nice, congrats! are you guys using a cross platform framework?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 years ago (1 children)

Thanks! Yes, we’re writing this in flutter

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 years ago* (last edited 4 years ago) (1 children)

do you plant to release for ios?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 years ago (2 children)

yes, we do. how quickly will mostly depend on how big will the demand be

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 years ago* (last edited 4 years ago)

I’d definitely be interested in testing on iOS whenever it’s available. Great work!

Also, cute logo!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 years ago

Thanks for developing this! I will make sure to test the app and report bugs that I might encounter.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 years ago* (last edited 4 years ago) (1 children)

That's so cool!

btw, I haven't used Lemmy since around Oct 2020; has federation been implemented yet?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 years ago

Federation is working already.

I'm seeing a post from [email protected] in my feed, however, I'm sure I'm not subscribed to that community, is that a bug?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 years ago (1 children)

depends; is it in your subscribed feed? shouldn't be in that or the local feed. lots of people had "all" as their default view which would show it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 years ago

Seems it was an artifact from being not logged in previously, not seeing it anymore.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 years ago (1 children)

Typing this with Lemmur. Great job!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 years ago
