Hey guys, a week ago I started working on a lemmy app like many others as an excuse to learn flutter. Along the way I found an old app that was abandoned but very well built.

After a couple of days I was able to get things running and semi-useable again. Including posting this post from the app! The main effort being updating to 0.17.x.

Here’s some screenshots:

I’ll be renaming the app (so I can republish it), tentatively under the name “Lem”… but really open to ideas here.

    “Leap”

    Because, that’s what lemmings allegedly do, but also encouraging people to take the leap and embrace the fediverse

    Leap for Lemmy

    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? 😁

    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 :)

    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

    You could make THE LEMMY app:

    1. By scraping all communities with the same name hosted in different instances and letting us subscribe to some/all of them all at once.
    2. By scraping kbin magazines too

      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

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.
