Yes, it's yet another app for Lemmy.
Based heavily on the abandoned Lemmur project, with a few updates to make it run with the current API and some minor changes to the UI.
Written in Flutter, so although it's only available for iPhone and iPad right now, it does run on macOS and Android so releases for those platforms may be on their way.
I will be releasing the source once the app has gone through this beta testing phase.
Let me know here of any issues or in the TestFlight build (long press on the icon). Once I've opened the source we can start using GitHub to track issues.
KNOWN ISSUES:
- The app occasionally forgets who you are and mistakenly nags you to log in when trying to comment or vote.
Developers: interested in helping out? Experienced with Mobx, Provider and Freezed? Let me know!
Features:
- Full featured for end users
- Light Mode, Dark Mode, System Mode
- Multiple accounts on multiple servers
- Localisation (work in progress)
- Full search support (posts, comments, users, communities)
A few screenshots to whet your appetite:
Hey, thanks for jumping in so quickly!
I saw that sign-in issue earlier but thought I had dealt with it, so thanks for letting me know.
Good point about the edit button too.
re visibility: if you click on the dropdown at the top of the home tab you'll see that there's an "Everything" category that means that it collates posts from across the various servers listed below, even if you don't have an account there. I think that this is a nice feature especially if defederations continue, but see that it's confusing as presented right now.
Yeah you can’t upvote to a community unless you’re subbed, makes sense.
Oh! I like that “Everything” option! I don’t have to visit the site now just to see what’s going on over there! Very nice feature! What happens if I try to comment?
Maybe if you had the All as default option and have a pop-up explaining what “Everything” is when people switch to it? It’s not really all that confusing, as long as it’s explained as you just did!
Edit again to add: this is the best iOS app currently! Great job getting it going!
Loving the app! For this issue, would it be best to change the error message to indicate that subbing is required to upvote and comment rather than the login error? Not sure if that’s how it works as I am a Reddit migrant but I like the everything view, just want to better understand how to use it.
It's another issue beyond just needing to subscribe. It appears that the Everything view is just a logged-out view of the fediverse. If you change to your @[email protected] user view, you can vote and comment just fine.
That's what I've been picking over today, so you'll probably see the changes tomorrow 😉
Hmm, I wonder if that's what causes the logon popup. I'll have a look at that tomorrow.
I agree that some of the UI is confusing. I'm quite wrapped up in it now so I'd forgotten which bits only make sense once they make sense, so it's good to get this feedback.
I'm so amazed that the developers of Lemmur stopped developing it just last year. I tried contacting them but nothing, so I hope that this fork highlights their great work.
I switched to [email protected] and I’m able to upvote now so that might be it!
I’ve got to run so I don’t have time to do some testing but I just tried to comment on a kbin.social post and it showed that it double posted on the app so I deleted one. I went to it from the website and I only see my deleted comment now. So something weird is going on there, too.
Hmm not seen a double post before. Thanks.
