I usually don't get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I'm on their side.
You're viewing a single thread.
Maybe a stupid question from a Newb here such as myself, but are there currently any good 3rd party clients for Android and iOS that support Lemmy? I’ve been looking around here using the browser and this platform has promise, but being able to use clients like Apollo, Sync for Reddit, etc, would really make it more useful in my opinion.
The official list is an https://join-lemmy.org/apps , but the main iOS one (remmel) is currently abandoned, so we're updating that page soon.
There's a new iOS app being developed by @[email protected] called Mlem.
I made an android one, called Jerboa.

That is a pretty decent client. I come from Relay for Reddit, and at first glance like it a lot. Feels home.
Great work! Just joined Lemmy today, and downloaded Jerboa from F-Droid (currently replying to you using your app, no less). Checking my profile seems to be broken, but otherwise seems to be working great.
EDIT: Actually, seems to be working now. Maybe the profile breaks if it has no content?
Thanks, glad you like it!
If it does crash or something's amiss, make an issue on the issue tracker if you would: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues
Just as an FYI I started used Jerboa yesterday and it is working well now but it was very hard to find where to login at first. Most of the UI is disabled without logging in but I couldn't find out where to do that for like 10 minutes of searching the UI. I can see that being a pain point for new users.
