Hey guys, a week ago I started working on a lemmy app like many others as an excuse to learn flutter. Along the way I found an old app that was abandoned but very well built.
After a couple of days I was able to get things running and semi-useable again. Including posting this post from the app! The main effort being updating to 0.17.x.
Here’s some screenshots:
I’ll be renaming the app (so I can republish it), tentatively under the name “Lem”… but really open to ideas here.
Haha, how ironic. I downloaded the old Lemmur from F-Droid today, having no idea it had been abandoned. When I couldn’t add lemmy.world, I knew something was up.
It’s a good looking app, so good on your resurrecting it!
As for a name… Given it’s a resurrected app, how about Zommur? 😁
I did the same thing last week, that’s how I got started on this whole thing! Hahaha
If you don’t go with any of the other people’s suggestions, I’d like to inform you that in Danish, Lem basically means penis :)
These things are important when it comes to international products 🤣

Shout out to https://kbin.social/u/Gamers_Mate for the name suggestion!
“Leap”
Because, that’s what lemmings allegedly do, but also encouraging people to take the leap and embrace the fediverse
Leap for Lemmy
I like this best
Holy crap, this reminds me so much of Infinity for Reddit (my favorite reddit client.) If this releases I’d love to try it out!
If you’re game to test while I get the wheels back on we’re making progress!

Note: significant bug with the comments due to API redesign that happened in the last 4 months.
Mlem
Mobile lemmy, yeah, this is a solid winner!
Man this would be tits, I’m using jerboa right now but the app has a bunch of UI issues where it just feels kinda clunky, I don’t mind it looking visually dated (this does look better though) but it’s more about functionality to me, I’d be interested in trying a different app.
You could make THE LEMMY app:
- By scraping all communities with the same name hosted in different instances and letting us subscribe to some/all of them all at once.
- By scraping kbin magazines too
Yeah I’m working on that separately as an instance utility.
But Lemmynade (new name) does aggregate multiple instances and user accounts into a single feed which is nice
Sweeeet, lookin’ forward to testing it out
Thanks you, that’s great :)
Do you mean F-droid repo?
As for suggestion, I noticed that you can’t really add a custom Lemmy instance.
You can, it’s on the settings:
Yeah but it doesn’t let you put whatever you want , or perhaps it fails when it detects a new instance version. I tried a few instances I have accounts on and none were working 😔
Ah yeah that has been fixed.
tentatively under the name “Lem”
How about going one abstraction further and calling it Stanislaw? I’ll see myself out (but looking forward to trying the app).
@zach IDK why, but this app gives me some Infinity for Reddit vibes.
Probably is the UI. Those upvote and downvote buttons.Yeah it does look similar. I didn’t design the UI up to this point. I’ve justed updated it to support the lemmy backend starting from 0.17.x
It fairly out of the box material design flutter
It’s looking great man, keep up the good work
Is it open source?
A group of lemmings is called a slice, the app could be something like
LemSlice
SliceOLem
Or maybe just Slice
Just some ideas
