Anybody know a good lemmy client (app) i can use on my phone. I tried lemmur didn’t go well. I was hoping you guys might know a good app
Lemmur is the best currently.
I’ve been working on a native android client called Jerboa recently, but I’m maybe 2 weeks or so away from a beta.
Damn, you’re working on a lot of things.
Jerboa
love that name btw
Thx! Was between that and muskrat lol.
yeah jerboas are definitely the cuter animal too
Well if you think its unstable i guess its better to wait. But if its usable i can try it
YMMV. I’ve downloaded it but I can’t login. I click add for the account and it just hangs. Probably depends on your phone’s OS build.
Thats a bug @dessalines@lemmy.ml
Its not even to alpha yet, but you can open up bugs on the github: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues . I will probably ignore them if they’re in comments.
Ok dude i’ll do that
For reference, iOS 15.2.1
I didn’t really like it tbh was looking for an alternative. And thanks dude for the comment
Ok dude thanks
The F-droid Version oft Lemmur is currently outdated and dies not log in. Otherwise it is fine I think.
I just updated to 0.8 direct from github and it’s going great!
Ok
It’s at 0.8.0 now on F-droid.
Thanks for the reply man
I simply saved the browser version as an app. Works great
I’ll try that ig
For iOS Remmel is good, I am actually typing this from it.
Oh
Someone seriously needs to build a GTK/Libadwaita client
If there were 3 of me, one of them would be building a desktop client using iced, the rust GUI toolkit.
Thanks for being one of you and doing what you do! I appreciate it :)
No probs :)
I am also waiting for various rust GUIs(azul, orbit tk) too…
This may dumb, but could someone just repurpose an existing reddit client? There’s a few open source ones.
Compared to the visual part we see, the federated stuff in the background is likely 80% of the work in the app, reddit doesn’t use activity pub so 80-90% needs to be different anyway and so it is probably nicer just to write all fresh code.
I’m basically reverse engineering my favorite reddit client to build the one I’m working on. I posted an apk below if you want to test an early alpha.

On iOS I’m very happy with Memmy, I was on Apollo before and it feels similar design-wise.
Connect is stunningly well polished for how little time it’s been in development and the dev pushes updates incredibly fast. I’m probably going to switch to sync whenever it gets released bc it was my reddit client of choice but connect is doing quite well in the interim
