I've been working on a new Lemmy client for iOS and Android and will be looking for testers in the coming weeks. I'll be starting with iOS and then later rolling out to Android.

Features (so far) include:

  • Compact and card views
  • Multi-account support
  • Gestures
  • Nested/Threaded comments
  • Themes

Let me know some of your favourite features of other Lemmy / Reddit apps that you liked that I may not have thought of!

Please follow the link if you're interested in testing. Here are some screenshots of the app so far and you can check out my thread on its development on Mastodon.

Hi Joe checking in. Will test if needed. I'm on android though

Brilliant, thank you! The Android version will be my focus once iOS is feature complete. There are a couple of iOS only components I'm using currently that will need Android counterparts.

Also on Android and willing to test. I'm using the wefwef web app now. Honestly haven't even used Lemmy on PC yet, so I don't know if this exists, but I see no way to edit account settings after set up. Would love that. I also personally don't like the "Apple" feel of wefwef because I find it confusing since I've only ever used Android. Lots of customization is what I enjoy.

Editing to add that I've used and really enjoyed RIF for years. Never tried anything else again once I found it.

Yeah I totally get that you want it to feel native to the platform which is why I'm focussing on them individually. I happen to use iOS which is why I went with that first.

Sounds great, thanks for your work and understanding!
