The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:
- Artemis (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
- Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
- Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
- Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
- Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
- Beyond (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
- Limbo (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
- Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
- Slide (Android, lemmy): link
- Sync (Android, lemmy): link
- Unnamed (kbin): link
Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don’t work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357) so things should get better with time. Some of the apps are in very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

Shameless plug (sorry) but I’m working on one too! It’s a web app that works on both desktop and mobile: https://slemmy.libdb.so.
It is a free-time kind of project (I work on it after my actual working hours), so it might not grow at the same pace as other newer apps, but I’m trying!
Source code is at https://libdb.so/slemmy, AGPLv3 license.
It is real nice to see how lemmy/kbin, and activitypub in general, is progressing. It kinda… gives me a bit of hope for the future? Either way, am happy :D

I think this one should work https://lemmy.ca/post/831266

Oh…
That’s right…
Who ran that bot anyway?
Somebody get the StabBot guy, too.
Genuinely did not expect to see Slide on here, now I’m all excited.

lol I’m in the Slide screenshot, hi mom!
celebrity of the century!
The slide for Lemmy makes me sooo happy. My mouth is hanging open and I’m just… I cannot freaking wait!! Thank you 🙏
Oh I’m not the author I just have a post on the screenshot. I’m excited to, I want to slay Slide was the first client I tried over a decade ago!
Thank you! Bookmarking right now.
Mlem is no longer on testflight, they just announced a change in leadership, so hopefully it continues with development. Seems like it will, given their announcement: https://beehaw.org/post/693759
That’s strange. I just received an update overnight for Mlem on TestFlight. Maybe it’s just closed to new registrations? IMO it is the most polished of the iOS apps.
It was his last update before changing leadership. IDK what the status will be after that.
Just tried Limbo, though, and loving it!
I don’t understand, as in it slows down?
So many developers working on apps for Lemmy. I hope there are just as many dedicated individuals interested in improving Lemmy’s source itself.

I’ve been using Mlem and Memmy. I started out liking Mlem more, but Memmy has really been cranking out new versions lately.
Same here and today the Mlem app has disappeared from my TestFlight list. Another thing worth noting is that Memmy works on my iPad mini. Mlem doesn’t. At least not correctly.
Okay so I wasn’t the only one who noticed it’s gone from TestFlight. Wonder why?
The main dev was harrassed off of the project, basically. He said he passed the source code on and it should be coming back to test flight under a different link soon, theoretically.
It seems he was the dev who initiated the project, but hasn’t been the main contributor for a while. He’s handed it over to the other devs contributing, who weren’t aware of what was going on or that he was planning to leave and it sounds like they’ll be back on track in the next few days.
Same here. I think Memmy has improved drastically over the last week or so. Well done to the dev(s?), it’s become my daily driver.
Excited to use sync with Lemmy, it’s been my main Reddit app for the better part of a decade
Same here, what a polished experience. I’m glad I found Lemmy… otherwise I’d be settling for using the garbage official Reddit app.
Gratitude to anyone working on any of these apps. I mean, that is very cool of you to do. We appreciate.
Not only are we gonna get an app… But we’re also gonna get OPTIONS!? Go team!
I’m working on a native iOS app called Olympus too(‘: it’s built with all the new SDKs Apple gave us for iOS 17 (meaning only those on the iOS 17 beta will be able to use it). I should have a TestFlight link up by Monday, doing some final smoke testing this weekend before I let all you users try and break it
Please post a comment to https://beehaw.org/post/683217
Would love a testflight link once it’s up, I’m on iOS 17 Dev Beta.
Running iOS 17 now and using the web app (vlemmy.net). Send me a link when you’re ready.
The superior app experience may end up finally tipping the scale on my perpetual indecision between Lemmy vs Kbin.
