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.
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? 😁
Literally installed it today too lol
I did the same thing last week, that’s how I got started on this whole thing! Hahaha
“Leap”
Because, that’s what lemmings allegedly do, but also encouraging people to take the leap and embrace the fediverse
Leap for Lemmy
You could make THE LEMMY app:
- By scraping all communities with the same name hosted in different instances and letting us subscribe to some/all of them all at once.
- 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
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
@zach IDK why, but this app gives me some Infinity for Reddit vibes.
Probably is the UI. Those upvote and downvote buttons.Yeah it does look similar. I didn’t design the UI up to this point. I’ve justed updated it to support the lemmy backend starting from 0.17.x
It fairly out of the box material design flutter
That was also my first thought seeing it!
Hey man, thanks for the hard work! Seems it only works for lemmy.ml? I can’t add my account at lemmy.world!
This, please.
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.
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.
I second this
Sweeeet, lookin’ forward to testing it out
Ah, I used to use Lemmur when I first joined Lemmy. Nice to see it revived.
I’ve downloaded obtanium to prepare. It seems I can’t actually add your repo until you make a release though.
I’m not a big fan of the rounded corners. Will there be a way to make them just rectangles?
Yeah gonna make some designs options cause I don’t like them either. I want compact cards too. Feel free to open a feature request on my GitHub issues so I can track it!
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).
- Lemons
- Lemonade
- Emblem
- Problem
- Golem

Desktop works well!

Take a stab at the desktop build here:

Hmm… try going through here?

Oh no i figured out the issue. I had GitHub trigger a migration from the fork to a stand alone. Sorry about that. Rerunning the build now and you should be able to get the packages once it finishes through the releases tab on my repo
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.
You can, it’s on the settings:
Yeah but it doesn’t let you put whatever you want , or perhaps it fails when it detects a new instance version. I tried a few instances I have accounts on and none were working 😔
Ah yeah that has been fixed.
