Leap for Lemmy
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? ๐
I did the same thing last week, that's how I got started on this whole thing! Hahaha
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.
Hey Zack, we should probably talk!
I follwed the same route but focused on the iOS side and so I have "Limbo" in TestFlight! Lemmur is such a great base isn't it? It's such a shame that the original devs moved on.
Have a look at my take at https://lemmy.world/c/limbo
Woah! Yeah we should talk!
Can't believe they abandoned it.

Here is my latest write up on progress and alpha re-release for Android:
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 ๐คฃ
You could make THE LEMMY app:
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
Reminds me of infinity for reddit which I'm going to miss past July 1st
Looking great, can't wait to test it! Nothing against Jerboa for the time being, but alternatives are always welcome. Been testing summit yesterday that someone posted as well, and I think every app has some unique features about it, so let's see where the journey goes.
Ideally I'd love to have something as close to Reddit Sync as possible :-P
As for the name, isn't Lem a bit short? Not that I dislike it, but in terms of being properly searchable on google and the likes it might be better to go for a longer, unique search string, else it could get a bit cluttered.
Should have a testable android APK on the repo tomorrow and I'll work on getting the iOS app out for people to sideload.
Over all it works pretty well, there's a few bugs but it's a solid foundation!
Yeah I suck at names, I'll keep thinking
Sounds awesome! Do you have a link to the repo so I can follow you there?
Yeah you can track progress here:
https://github.com/zachatrocity/lem
I'll make a more formal GitHub release hopefully tomorrow!
Ideally I'd love to have something as close to Reddit Sync as possible :-P
I have good news for you. Sync for Lemmy is happening!
I second Lem being too short unless op plans on doing a lot of SEO or making people search Lem for Lemmy.
No fucking way!!! YES!
Honestly, I think Lem is too similar to Mlem and Memmy and whatnot. I'd go with something Fed- or Thread- or Verse-related. Like Threader (could style it differently) or something
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 ๐
Hey man, thanks for the hard work! Seems it only works for lemmy.ml? I can't add my account at lemmy.world!
This, please.
It's looking great man, keep up the good work
Sweeeet, lookin' forward to testing it out
@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
Sweet I'm gonna use this. I always thought it kinda wild that people don't write readers for this kind of website in RN or Flutter, considering you don't need any extra native functionality at all. Would love to contribute too.
This looks so much better than Jerboa for Lemmy. Can't wait for the release
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).
I'm excited to try new apps for Lemmy
