Leap for Lemmy
that sounds great
Haha, how ironic. I downloaded the old Lemmur from F-Droid today, having no idea it had been abandoned. When I couldn't add lemmy.world, I knew something was up.
It's a good looking app, so good on your resurrecting it!
As for a name... Given it's a resurrected app, how about Zommur? 😁
I did the same thing last week, that's how I got started on this whole thing! Hahaha
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 :)
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
Ideally I'd love to have something as close to Reddit Sync as possible :-P
I have good news for you. Sync for Lemmy is happening!
I second Lem being too short unless op plans on doing a lot of SEO or making people search Lem for Lemmy.
No fucking way!!! YES!
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.
You could make THE LEMMY app:
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
tentatively under the name "Lem"
How about going one abstraction further and calling it Stanislaw? I'll see myself out (but looking forward to trying the app).
Hey man, thanks for the hard work! Seems it only works for lemmy.ml? I can't add my account at lemmy.world!
Don't get Lemmy from the play store. That's not mine. The original devs abandoned the project.
Lemmy.ml is no longer required and will likely be removed as the default for the app.
I've renamed it and here is some info on how you can get the first Alpha release:
I see! Do you plan to publish to F-Droid? By the way, seems the link is dead.
A group of lemmings is called a slice, the app could be something like
LemSlice
SliceOLem
Or maybe just Slice
Just some ideas
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.
Sounds great. Jerboa is sort of ok, but it is always good to have alternatives.
Honestly, I think Lem is too similar to Mlem and Memmy and whatnot. I'd go with something Fed- or Thread- or Verse-related. Like Threader (could style it differently) or something
I think Lemmynade would be a perfect name.
Holy crap that's pretty good. We might have a winner
This looks great! I never used Slide, I was a JoeyforReddit user, but I'm really excited to see all the different apps in development.
Sweet I'm gonna use this. I always thought it kinda wild that people don't write readers for this kind of website in RN or Flutter, considering you don't need any extra native functionality at all. Would love to contribute too.
Looks good. Did you get the original author's permission or was it open source?
Also, as a name... how about "Let Me"?
Open source with gnu gpl v2.
That was the first thing I checked! Hahah
Are you going to put it on GitHub? Obviously you're not required to release code until you release a build into the wild, but just curious if we can see your progress in real time by any chance lol
Unless you hate the name Lemmur I don't know if you have to change it yet either.
Yeah you can track my progress here: https://github.com/zachatrocity/lemmynade
I'll make a formal GitHub and fdroid release hopefully tomorrow.
Well I know I could keep the name and have a separate bundle ID. But the old app is still on the play store. Figured it'd be easier to rename then deal with the duplicate named app on the store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.krawieck.lemmur
Thanks you, that's great :)
Do you mean F-droid repo?
As for suggestion, I noticed that you can't really add a custom Lemmy instance.
is it on FDroid?
Looks really good! Where will we be able to download it? I wouldn't mind giving it try.
I'll get it on GitHub release tomorrow! Then fdroid and iOS app store to follow.
Probably should also get it on the Google Play Store! F-Droid is a pretty niche market and Android has the widest audience.
I was using this when I first signed up for Lemmy and it definitely felt better than Jerboa.
Reminds me of infinity for reddit which I'm going to miss past July 1st
