Anybody know a good lemmy client (app) i can use on my phone. I tried lemmur didn't go well. I was hoping you guys might know a good app
I'm not sure what else exists, but I think your options are listed here.
Are you able to specify what didn't go well when you tried Lemmur
In my case, Flutter apps just don't do it at all. I don't know if it is my phone or a bug in the toolkit, but apps made with it are just too sluggish for me. I just use Lemmy's PWA capabilities on my phone.
My Jerboa client is still alpha level, but if you want, i can give you an apk to help me test it.
I didn't really like it tbh was looking for an alternative. And thanks dude for the comment
I simply saved the browser version as an app. Works great
I'll try that ig
The F-droid version of Lemmur is currently outdated and does not log in. Otherwise it is fine I think.
It's at 0.8.0 now on F-droid.
Thanks for the reply man
Someone seriously needs to build a GTK/Libadwaita client
If there were 3 of me, one of them would be building a desktop client using iced, the rust GUI toolkit.
Thanks for being one of you and doing what you do! I appreciate it :)
I am also waiting for various rust GUIs(azul, orbit tk) too...
For iOS Remmel is good, I am actually typing this from it.
Oh
This may dumb, but could someone just repurpose an existing reddit client? There's a few open source ones.
Compared to the visual part we see, the federated stuff in the background is likely 80% of the work in the app, reddit doesn't use activity pub so 80-90% needs to be different anyway and so it is probably nicer just to write all fresh code.
I'm basically reverse engineering my favorite reddit client to build the one I'm working on. I posted an apk below if you want to test an early alpha.

Lemmur is the best currently.
I've been working on a native android client called Jerboa recently, but I'm maybe 2 weeks or so away from a beta.

Well if you think its unstable i guess its better to wait. But if its usable i can try it

YMMV. I've downloaded it but I can't login. I click add for the account and it just hangs. Probably depends on your phone's OS build.
