A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So far I'm only using Jerboa on Android, but I imagine some of you are working hard to stand up new experiences? Would be especially interesting to know of apps being developed by any of the Reddit 3rd party devs that are being displaced by Reddit's surging greed.

I would like to jump on this question and express my interest as well. Not only for Lemmy/Kbin, but for everything Fediverse, including Calckey/Misskey, Mastodon, etc.

Mlem looks really good for lemmy, although of course a lot of features are still missing.

[–] thoralf@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The question is rather for an overview. I'm actually using Mlem already. But it is pretty cumbersome to check all possible channels whether they might a new app, an update or the like.

So, a page that tracks all existing clients, clients in development and plans would be really helpful.

[–] lovesickoyster@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, got it. Yes, you are right, that would be awesome.

[–] 0xCAFE@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It seems you're talking about Lemmy? Or do you actually mean Fediverse apps?

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

they probably mean lemmy/kbin mobile apps.

!memmy@lemmy.ml

memmy is still in early alpha/beta and resembles Apollo, but it’s pretty good already

currently there is an ios version in testflight but the dev is also working on an android version (not yet available but they said it is about 90% ready)

[–] minorsecond@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you mean mlem? That’s the TestFlight app I have.

Sweet! I’m going to check it out. Thanks

Shameless self promotion of the page I just published earlier today including this information (along with other stuff). Though to be clear, this page is for Lemmy/Kbin/Tildes. Not the greater Fediverse.

Don't think it exists. But if any new apps for Lemmy are created, I'd suggest they should appear either in F-Droid, Google Play Store or in some fairly active discussion thread on Lemmy.

[–] pilirin 3 points 1 year ago

yeh there are a few sites tracking them. you know what doesn't exist? decent desktop applications. web pages fucking suck

[–] root@lemmy.run 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

AFAIK, there is no centralize community for that.

@Snapz www.fediverse.observer/

Edit: oh, mobile apps? Maybe Fedi.Tips on Mastodon (you can follow the account via RSS as well). Otherwise I do not know. Any platform publishes information about its apps on the mobile website

[–] letThemPlay@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm starting one as a side project, but it will be a little while before I'm ready to put anything out there.

Plus I'm a backend developer by trade, so will be learning as I go on writing apps.

[–] Snapz 1 points 1 year ago

Looking forward to what you come up with and appreciate you giving time to this community/movement.

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kbin now installs automatically as a PWA on Android. Not quite an 'app' but pretty good nonetheless.

[–] Frederic 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Same for beehaw, in android chrome browser, go in the 3dots menu and select "install application" and it puts a shortcut on your screen, and it's perfectly usable, without installing an app.
