Looks very cool, reminds me of Sync for Reddit already lol.
I prefer a lot more swipe actions than simple UI buttons (that's why I love Sync).
Lemming is a FOSS Android app for Lemmy that primarily focuses on ease of use.

Glad to hear!
Gonna say no thanks to a closed source client distributed as an unverified APK.
No problem, it will be on the Play Store next week.
Great!
I've just installed and used it for a few minutes and it's an excellent start. Scrolling is smooth and replies work.
It's basic at the moment but it looks like you have a great foundation.
I'm sure the green UI was probably something you quickly threw together for now, but hopefully in future you'll be able to change that and have it support material you. It's at least have theme options like light, green, dark etc. For me it's a bit too much green.
But that's a niggle. More important is to be able to view our own profiles, see replies/messages and search the tinkering l timeline, posts and communities.
After that add the ability to post to a specific community right from the draft screen.
But that's alot of work I'm sure. I'm no developer but hopefully some other Devs will hop on board to help.
I think there is a rush on now of Devs making Lemmy and KBin apps. I'm also using an app on GitHub called Liftoff. It's a bit further down the line than yours but it opens all links in its internal browser with no way to send them to an external browser, which is real frustrating. So I'm inclined to use your app instead for now because at least it lets me open links in an external browser.
I'll just check Lemmy on the web from time to time to check for replies.
Well done on your progress so far. In just 2v weeks you've done alot 👍
Thank you for the detailed feedback. Material You dynamic theming is supported in the latest release that is now on GitHub. Profiles, messages and search are some of the features that I want to add next.
Pleasure. Thanks for the update, I've just installed it and it looks way better and is working very well. Swipe functionality is also really great.
I have been testing this app, now that it has Monet it feels way better to my eyes lol.
Thanks for the app dev! It is the prettiest of all so far.
Just tried it out, seemed to default to system dark theme, which is nice, & material settings... smooth scrolling, pleasing on the eye....what a great start👍🏼
I have some questions, is the source code available somewhere? If not, why? An alternative delivery away from the Playstore would be great, I'll throw F-Droid into the room. Is that planned?
The source code is now publicly available: https://github.com/janniskilian/lemming
The app will be published on F-Droid, but I don't know yet when I will find the time to do it.
Seems great, be sure to let us know when you do it, the app looks really promising
