Hello everyone, I am happy to announce Beyond has been approved into Google Play and is now available for open testing!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=software.protolane.fediverseclient&hl=en&gl=US
For those who may or may not have heard of Beyond, it was originally announced on Beehaw at https://beehaw.org/post/647773 and I am now creating the official community here on Lemm.ee so you can also subscribe and follow the development and be a part of the community.
As of my Beehaw account, I am not entirely sure what I will do with that due to the defederation anything posted from there won't reach the largers communities at lemmy.world and their users, so most probably I will keep this account at lemm.ee as my main one. I will also announce it from there so you guys know this is me and not someone else impersonating me here :)
Please keep in mind the app is in alpha mode and is not yet stable. It's designed with the community in mind, aiming to provide a smooth and inclusive experience for all users. We invite you to join us in refining and enhancing Beyond, by trying it out and providing your valuable feedback.
Current Features:
๐ต Multiple account support
๐ต Anonymous instance browsing
๐ต Solid posts and comments browsing by subscribed local and all modes
๐ต Sorting modes
๐ต Capability to add comments and replies
Please bear in mind that we still have a number of known issues to resolve:
โ ๏ธ The dark mode is incomplete
โ ๏ธ Occasionally, the app fails to load more posts
โ ๏ธ A more streamlined login form is needed
โ ๏ธ Avatar for anonymous users is currently not available
Future Roadmap:
I have big plans for Beyond and am excited to implement more features in the near future. I want to make Beyond the best way to enjoy Lemmy out there!
