The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

  • Artemis (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
  • Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
  • Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • Beyond (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • Limbo (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
  • Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
  • Slide (Android, lemmy): link
  • Sync (Android, lemmy): link
  • Unnamed (kbin): link

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don’t work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357) so things should get better with time. Some of the apps are in very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

    It is real nice to see how lemmy/kbin, and activitypub in general, progressing. It kinda… gives me a bit of hope for the future? Either way, am happy :D

    So many developers working on apps for Lemmy. I hope there are just as many dedicated individuals interested in improving Lemmy’s source itself.

      That’s strange. I just received an update overnight for Mlem on TestFlight. Maybe it’s just closed to new registrations? IMO it is the most polished of the iOS apps.

    I’m glad that we have so many talented developers interested in kbin/Lemmy! Keep up the great work!

    I’m working on a native iOS app called Olympus too(‘: it’s built with all the new SDKs Apple gave us for iOS 17 (meaning only those on the iOS 17 beta will be able to use it). I should have a TestFlight link up by Monday, doing some final smoke testing this weekend before I let all you users try and break it

    I’ve been using Mlem and Memmy. I started out liking Mlem more, but Memmy has really been cranking out new versions lately.

      Same here and today the Mlem app has disappeared from my TestFlight list. Another thing worth noting is that Memmy works on my iPad mini. Mlem doesn’t. At least not correctly.

        Okay so I wasn’t the only one who noticed it’s gone from TestFlight. Wonder why?

            It seems he was the dev who initiated the project, but hasn’t been the main contributor for a while. He’s handed it over to the other devs contributing, who weren’t aware of what was going on or that he was planning to leave and it sounds like they’ll be back on track in the next few days.

      Same here. I think Memmy has improved drastically over the last week or so. Well done to the dev(s?), it’s become my daily driver.

      Same here, what a polished experience. I’m glad I found Lemmy… otherwise I’d be settling for using the garbage official Reddit app.

    Reddit posts on lemmy via RSS, multiple clients blooming, nodes welcoming the exodus, the fediverse is thriving. Might be the one thing we can show spez some gratitude for!
