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
On iOS I’m very happy with Memmy, I was on Apollo before and it feels similar design-wise.
I’m on vger.app, which also feels a lot like Apollo. But Memmy is great too!
Agreed.
I’m getting a really weird bug with memmy. Whenever I bring the app back into the foreground I have the colour briefly flash from light mode back to dark mode. Ug.
That is odd. I think there is a Memmy community to report such things. I am on an iPhone 14 Pro and have no such bug so I am assuming this is a device specific thing?
Maybe. I’m on an iPhone 12 mini.
I did scroll the most recent comments in the App Store and see someone say the same. So hopefully it’s on their radar. I don’t see anywhere to report bugs other than GitHub.
Edit: here’s a screen recording https://share.icloud.com/photos/065bF4z4Vol-JAffI6FtUX8mA
iPhone XS Max here, same issue… It appears to be an issue with the automatic switch with OS, as without auto switch on I don’t experience it.
Seems to be a know bug and fixed I the latest test flight version. Was just chatting with them on Discord. They posted this
I’m not sure what else exists, but I think your options are listed here.
Are you able to specify what didn’t go well when you tried Lemmur
In my case, Flutter apps just don’t do it at all. I don’t know if it is my phone or a bug in the toolkit, but apps made with it are just too sluggish for me. I just use Lemmy’s PWA capabilities on my phone.
My Jerboa client is still alpha level, but if you want, i can give you an apk to help me test it.
ooh thanks!
Yup dude np
I’ll try it
Before logging in i didn’t get any feed. After logging in tho feeds appeared
And there a bug in the app i can’t select the three dot button on my comments. When i tap it nothing happens
It’ll be better if i dm you
I didn’t really like it tbh was looking for an alternative. And thanks dude for the comment

If you’re on Android, I recommend Liftoff. Boost for Lemmy is also probably going to be pretty good when it releases, as the developer’s Reddit app was phenomenal.
I just installed LiftOff as I was using the web PWA on my phone and it’s a much nicer experience.
I’m waiting for the Sync app though, Reddit Sync was perfect for me!
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
I’m pretty happy with Jerboa on Android, although as a long time Boost fan I’m excited see their app for lemmy release
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…
Was using Jerboa, I like Liftoff better. But I’ll be moving to Lemmy Sync as soon as that’s available.
If you’re on iOS, Mlem for Lemmy is afaik the only one written in Apple’s native SwiftUI. Its IMO the one that integrates most smoothly with the feel of the platform and has the most potential, since it’s written natively instead of in a cross-platform framework.
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
Try Connect for lemmy if you’re on android
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.
My favorite right now is Mlem, it’s similar to Memmy but works better in my experience
Posted this from Mlem.
I’m a former Apollo user and the inspiration is obvious in Mlem
