For those of you wondering what all the fuss is about, here's a quick introduction to the app.

Yes, it’s yet another app for Lemmy, but based heavily on the mature but now 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 it is very multi-platform. We currently have builds available for testing for Android and iOS (also running on iPad and Macs [Apple Silicon only for the moment]). Brave souls can try building it for Linux or Windows and report back on their experiences!

Preview it on iOS at TestFlight or on Android at GitHub.

The source is released under GPL 2.0 and is available at GitHub for inspection, download, build, issue logging and contributions, so go and get it!

Features:

  • Fully featured for end users: posting and commenting fully complete.
  • Sorting and UI customisation options.
  • Light Mode, Dark Mode, System Mode.
  • Multiple accounts on multiple servers.
  • Bookmark your favourite posts and comments.
  • Localisation (work in progress).
  • Full search support (posts, comments, users, communities).
  • Support for direct messaging.

And here's a few screenshots:

Isn't this exactly like Lemmynade? Which one of them copied the code? The interface is identical down to every single animation.

They both are forks of Lemmur, an old open source Lemmy client

Dev of Lemmynade here! Michael (dev of Limbo) and I have joined forces! We had both resurrected an old abandoned app called lemmur.

So Lemmynade and Limbo are no longer and you are both working on Liftoff now?

That is correct!

Great, looking forward to it!
