Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to announce Lemma, yet another Lemmy client for iOS!

As a longtime fan of Christian’s work with Apollo, like many others in the Lemmy community, I embarked on developing Lemma when Apollo closed its doors. My goal was to create a native feeling iOS experience that captured the essence of Lemmy.

What began as a personal project to challenge my technical skills has now evolved into something remarkable. I’m delighted to share Lemma with the world, even though it’s still in its beta phase. I’m continuously working on adding more features every day. At the moment, the focus is on optimizing the viewing experience and discovering new communities. Soon, I’ll be incorporating features like submitting new posts and responding to existing posts and comments.

Key Features:

  • Super-Charged Media Viewer
    • From videos and GIFs to (Imgur) albums, Lemma supports it all.
    • Lemma goes the extra mile by parsing the body of posts to find even more media than most other apps. For example, it can collect all images inside a markdown post, displaying them in a neat image album overview.
  • Powerful Search
    • Lemma seamlessly integrates with Lemmyverse.net, making it easier than ever to discover new communities.
  • Fully Customizable
    • Personalize your experience with 16 themes (both dark and light mode), 6 comment color themes, and a compact post viewing mode.
  • Swipe Gestures
    • Upvoting, downvoting, or saving a post? With Lemma, it’s just a swipe away.
  • Share as Image
    • Sometimes, a picture says more than a thousand words.
  • Safari Extension
    • Effortlessly open Lemmy content in Lemma using the built-in Safari Extension.
  • Cross-Post Support
    • Stay updated with cross-posts in your feed.
  • Multiple Accounts

TestFlight

In the coming days, I’ll be launching Lemma on TestFlight for a closed beta. If you’d like to be part of Lemma’s development, sign up using the form below:

    I’m curious why the layout is identical though. It’s not some random “it’s all inspired by the same thing”

    Your icons are the same. Layout is the same. It’s a little odd.

      The icons aren’t original to memmy, they’re icons that Apple provides and they encourage/make it easy to use them

      You realize that Memmy looks like Apollo? That’s not “Memmy’s look”, that’s Apollo’s look that every iOS app tries to copy (including web app like voyager).

          It’s not some random “it’s all inspired by the same thing”

          But it is? I think Apollo has a special place in the hearts of most iOS Reddit users, so it’s only natural that we use this as inspiration. For example these are screenshots of Apollo that I used:

          For the icons I’m using Apple’s SF Symbols, which is probably the same as Memmy uses.
