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:

as in after you see a post you never want to see it again friend?

[–] kill@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

yes, that's exactly what he means

[–] Faendol@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm curious if an app that works on top of the protocol is possible so that it could use accounts from both kbin and Lemmy.

(shameless promotions) wefwef (https://wefwef.app) is an apollo-like progressive webapp, currently targetting iOS, in development!

It's open source too.

[–] Awerenj@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I hope someone developes something with a compact view like RIF had. Using jerboa right now and I'm not really comfortable with it. Also for some reason it doesnt support T9 input so thats sad too.

Memmy has a "compact view", not too similar to RIF tho. You can check it out if you want. It's actually already released and pending play store approval

anybody got around to putting these into a nice, updated awesome-table on github? Could nicely display which ones are kbin / lemmy, iOS, Android, FOSS, etc.

What would be a feature in any of those which would make it worth to use it instead of just installing the website as a webapp? I've never used any 3rd party apps for reddit either. Or is it just about it feeling more native on that platform?

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

ppl like apps more in general, ppl don't even know how to install PWA most of the time
more of a native feel ye & sometimes they come with many extra features and things that make it more comfy to use on phone
some have gestures like sliding ur finger across the screen to like a post or stuff like that

I'm interested in a foss Android library to wrap the Lemmy API. Any idea? It would make working on Lemmy integration much faster.

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

Zero idea. Never worked on Android apps myself.
