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 (Kmoon) (iOS, Android): /c/ArtemisApp@kbin.social

Memmy (iOS, Android): /c/memmy@lemmy.ml

Mlem (iOS - TestFlight): /c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml

Morpha (iOS, Android): /c/morpha@vlemmy.net

Thunder (iOS, Android): /c/thunder_app@lemmy.world

Beyond (iOS, Android): https://beehaw.org/post/647773

Liftoff (FOSS) (iOS/Android, Download on GitHub & on TestFlight): /c/liftoff@lemmy.world

Jerboa (Android - Released): (Play Store) https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa

Slide (Android): https://lemmy.world/post/379068

Sync (Android): /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Connect (Android - Beta): https://beehaw.org/post/698247

Lemon (iOS): https://lemm.ee/post/127800

Summit (Android - Released): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idunnololz.summit

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 so things should get better with time.

I made a neat table, here u go:

But a bunch of low karma accounts on Reddit told me Lemmy would never take off!

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

it never will!!!!!! these 350k users on the lemmyverse are all bots and trolls!!! i bet both my legs that lemmy doesn't even exist

It feels like Memmy is getting updates every single day which is nice, Mlem is quite slow to update

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 40 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Just trying to do my part for you guys :)

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

^ for anyone curious, gkd is memmy dev

thank you gkd for making memmy

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

🤘

[–] knova@links.dartboard.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For the record I love love love what you are doing with Memmy. I used to bounce between mlem and the web interface but after the last 2 days I think Memmy is in a good spot where I can use it full time. Just need notifications and I’m set

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm working on a notifications screen tonight. Shouldn't be too long before I push an update with those.

And along with that I've opened up another project for push notifications. I hope to have that off the ground and working within the next week.

Thanks for putting this together!

I'm the dev that is working on Lemmynade (resurrected from lemmur)

Things are getting pretty solid. I'm using it as my main without issues right now. Even on v0.18.x instances.

Try out the latest release here:

https://github.com/zachatrocity/lemmynade/releases/tag/v0.9.6

F-Droid, Play store, and iOS should be here next week!

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This speaks volumes about the popularity of Lemmy. I think this might actually keep taking off!

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

for a lil while at least, june 30 will probably bring another mass exodus, including sync users, let's see how it goes, afterwards i imagine that there'll be a small push and then things will calm down a bit cuz rn it's exploding due to a mass publicity campaign that won't be there when reddit's already committed app-genocide

[–] Zaphodquixote@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I hope one of them displays tables right lol.

This post is a hot mess on jerboa.

[–] chepox@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Lol... Me too

[–] MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

I was gonna say lol. It looks like a random field

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

wait, slide? as in reddit slide? that was the app I used for reddit, but didnt figure something like that would get made here due to that being one of the less popular third party apps compared to things like RIF and Apollo. Thats cool to see

The table ironically doesn't render on Jerboa

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah jerboa's markdown parser seems to just not have tables included

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

That's in the next release.

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Relay for Lemmy would be so nice

[–] NSA_Server_04@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Lol and I just need one to release and work! Only thing stopping me from enjoying it to its fullest.

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think like 7 out of 10 are for iOS too.

edit: i was not completely wrong, but 5 out of 7 iOS apps are also releasing on android in theory, some already have

[–] liara@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's fine. Sync is all Android really needs anyway ;)

Memmy checking in. For the record, I have an Android build awaiting Google approval. Hopefully that will happen soon.

I am aiming to have a stable release available by the 27th that I can submit to Apple for release on the store. Right now, I think I can still hit that mark. We will see how it goes.

Boost for lemmy would be awesome.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boost is (should say was) my favorite reddit app, so I designed jerboa based off its UI. I'd definitely appreciate more apps, but boost was always closed source, so it makes sense to contribute to jerboa.

This is really exciting. Could you make an issue to add these to https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site ? Thanks.

Boost for Reddit could become Boost for Lemmy https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy It's the same dev atleast https://old.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/14ehiqs/_/jouvuok/

Awesome news. Great to see Slide becoming a Lemmy client. I really hope somebody does this for Dawn too, I loved Dawn for Reddit, it was pure eye candy.

It’s the gold rush of lemmy/kbin apps!

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

3rd party apps are probably the most instrumental aspect of migration viability, considering the entire protest is around third-party apps. This is great.

And: I like it here, homies.

[–] TheVampireSaga@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is there any of these that don't require TestFlight currently? I like lemmynade the most and Jerboa is apparently broken due to world not being able to connect to it since captchas were taken off and the admins are worried about it. I've tried connect and didn't really like it

Can someone please explain what the difference is between kbin and Lemmy and why these apps can interoperate? They look similar to me.
