Links to a hopefully growing list of lemmy clients.

There is an official FOSS lemmy app for Android called Jerboa that I’m using to create this post and it seems to work pretty well but that’s not all, there’s an iOS app, some BBS looking thing and some libraries that interact with reddit…

Wonder how useful those will be once the api changes happen in July, maybe worth trying them while you can…

What app are you using? Any thoughts about how they work? Just the website seems on your phone seems way more usable then any official reddit anything which is nice.

Man, I can’t find the submit post button…😅 Edit: i had to select a community first

    Another guy leaving Reddit here…

    I’ve been looking into the platform the last few days and kinda like the idea of it, but I mainly browse these stuff through my phone and there are not many apps (let alone any mature ones, especially on iOS).

    Mlem looks good but is really basic right now.

    So I decided last night I’m going to give it a try and work on a Lemmy client app in my spare time. Mainly as a coding exercise but mostly because I really want a proper app for this.

    I built this in a few hours and so far the API seems pretty straightforward so I’m cautiously optimistic about it.

    Heavily inspired by Apollo, as you can see 😅

    Another Jerboa user here, pretty neat app but there are times where it becomes a little unresponsive on my device. Feels pretty similar to Infinity which is something I like.

    The lemmyBB project from that list seems pretty neat though, could be an old-school way to browse lemmy on a desktop and might even benefit some communities depending on the primary format of content.

    Hoping we get some more Android app variety for Lemmy, although imo we’re spoiled for choice when looking at available apps for other federated software

      Having come here from reddit, largely using the infinity app Jerboa feels incredibly familiar in a good way. Loving it so far!

    Actually, the web UI works/renders surprisingly well in mobile Safari on iOS, so I’ll be sticking with that for now.

      Second this! I find Jerboa still not quite there, and stick with the reliable and honestly pretty neat web app. Since it’s a PWA, you can “install” it like a regular app.

          That would no doubt be incredible! Slide is my Reddit daily driver, love its interface!

            Left reddit and came here simply because I won’t be able to use Infinity anymore, tho I’m liking it here already

              Yep, same for me I really like(d) Infinity. Still a bit sparse here regarding my interests.

    Perhaps ironically, I’ve been enjoying interacting with #Lemmy communities and posts just using my Mastodon account via my instance’s default web app. It of course doesn’t offer the full range of options a native Lemmy app would, but it lets me engage using the account and apps I’m already familiar with.

    I’m using Connect, which is usable, I suppose, but it’s not great, IMO. Links to other instances don’t really work that great, as it interprets them as users.

    I am using Mlem for iOS and i think it is great. I had many error codes when using Limbo and I didn’t like that I couldn’t save multiple accounts. Mlem let’s you save accounts and specify the instance, and it has a better UI than the mobile website and Limbo.

    Tragically, I was looking into this this morning only to find that the sole iOS app is no longer available. Android is really spoilt for decentralized social media apps 😆
