I’ve been working on a new Lemmy client for iOS and Android and will be looking for testers in the coming weeks. I’ll be starting with iOS and then later rolling out to Android.

Features (so far) include:

  • Compact and card views
  • Multi-account support
  • Gestures
  • Nested/Threaded comments
  • Themes

Let me know some of your favourite features of other Lemmy / Reddit apps that you liked that I may not have thought of!

Please follow the link if you’re interested in testing. Here are some screenshots of the app so far and you can check out my thread on its development on Mastodon.

    I’ve just filled in the Google form. Can’t wait to get it in test flight! I’m currently testing Memmy, Mlem and WefWef too.

    I’m guessing from your username that you’re uk based? If so, me too!

      I am! I’m in Loughborough.

      What are you liking best/worst about the apps you’re testing?

        They all seem pretty similar but there’s some features in Memmy that are really standing out for me. I’m sure these will probably come to the others soon, but I really like that I can have the compact view and set the thumbnails on the right. I don’t know why I prefer it that way! And currently, Memmy is the only one that greys out read posts and can do so by just viewing the pic on image posts. Memmy somehow seems the most stable for me. I’m not sure if the issues loading posts/comments etc is an app issue or a Lemmy server side issue though.

      I’m currently collecting emails via a Google Form for both iOS and Android and will post a TestFlight link at a later date.

      Brilliant, thank you! The Android version will be my focus once iOS is feature complete. There are a couple of iOS only components I’m using currently that will need Android counterparts.
