Thanks for the app! Just starting with lemmy. Are there any alternatives etc.? I liked the Infinity reddit app particularly.
For now lemmy or the website on browser are the best option, but there’s some in development like Thunder
https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
https://lemmy.world/c/thunder_appOther Reddit developers (RedReader, Infinity) said they are willing to make their apps work with Lemmy, but will take some time
Thunder looks cool, surprised I haven’t seen it before
There are a handful of alternatives but they’re nowhere near as mature or feature complete as Jerboa, and most are a few days/weeks old at most! There’s also an old app that was abandoned a while ago and probably doesn’t work anymore.
Lemmy is really new, so I’m pretty sure Jerboa is the only app currently.
That said, development is ongoing, and I heard someone was developing a reddit api-like toolfor lemmy, so the old reddit apps will work with lemmy. I don’t know how true that is though, unfortunately. It would be awesome if true.
Yeah. Reusing infinity seems cool.
Thanks. Thought lemmy was around for pretty long. How it compares to mastodon which i heard was around for years? Or that would be a different beast…
I’ve been registered on Lemmy for ~2 years now. It went from this place where a few people chatted, to getting federation, then integrating with Mastodon, then they started working on an Android app, things were really chill.
Then last month it got 100x more popular, and it feels like a third of all Lemmy development happened this month too
I also come from using Infinity, I’d love if it were ported to Lemmy or forked. It’s FOSS, so I’m surprised there aren’t any yet.
I think everything for Lemmy is still VERY early stage. I’m sure if/when the community grows that will come
The only one I know of is
!thunder_app@lemmy.world, but its super basic (like a week old) and not ready at allThere is one on FDroid called Lemmur, last updated 10 months ago, but I’ve yet to get it to load any instances of Lemmy
No longer being maintained according to thier Github… Seems like it would need to be updated to support the latest of Lemmy build, & it would probably be good to go. Seems a shame that no-one has picked it up & moved it on, as it looks pretty good…on the face of it…
