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.
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
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 :)
“Leap”
Because, that’s what lemmings allegedly do, but also encouraging people to take the leap and embrace the fediverse
Leap for Lemmy
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
Mlem
There’s already an iOS app using this name.
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.
I like the name Lemmynade 🍺
Ah, I used to use Lemmur when I first joined Lemmy. Nice to see it revived.
- Lemons
- Lemonade
- Emblem
- Problem
- Golem
A group of lemmings is called a slice, the app could be something like
LemSlice
SliceOLem
Or maybe just Slice
Just some ideas
Damn this Is pretty . Thanks so much for this!
I’m here for this. Need a decent app. Looking forward to installing and using.
If this is eventually going to serve as a Lemmy and Kbin app, maybe don’t tie the name to the former. Not that I’ve got any suggestions for you.
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.
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?
