Join the Limbo for Lemmy beta
testflight.apple.com
Available on iOS

Yes, it’s yet another app for Lemmy.

Based heavily on the abandoned Lemmur project, with a few updates to make it run with the current API and some minor changes to the UI.

Written in Flutter, so although it’s only available for iPhone and iPad right now, it does run on macOS and Android so releases for those platforms may be on their way.

I will be releasing the source once the app has gone through this beta testing phase.

Go and get it!

Let me know here of any issues or in the TestFlight build (long press on the icon). Once I’ve opened the source we can start using GitHub to track issues.

KNOWN ISSUES:

  • The app occasionally forgets who you are and mistakenly nags you to log in when trying to comment or vote.

Developers: interested in helping out? Experienced with Mobx, Provider and Freezed? Let me know!

Features:

  • Full featured for end users
  • Light Mode, Dark Mode, System Mode
  • Multiple accounts on multiple servers
  • Localisation (work in progress)
  • Full search support (posts, comments, users, communities)

A few screenshots to whet your appetite:

    Will you be working the kbin api into the app? that’s where I’ve been building my subscriptions, but I guess I can rebuild over on lemmy

      To be honest, that’s low on my priorities at the moment, but once core functionality has been shown to be in good order, we can start thinking about the best approach to such features.

    Whoa this is the best Lemmy app I’ve tried so far! It feels extremely polished for a beta! Amazing!

    Hey so I’m really liking it so far, looks great, love the styling and all, but scrolling through the feed is a little stuttery. I did a screen recording, not sure if you can even see what I’m referring to in the recording as it seems so subtle there, but when using it on my iPhone it feels really jarring. Wonder if it’s because I have a 120hz iPhone, not sure if Limbo supports or accounts for the 120hz devices?

    Either way it doesn’t feel great to scroll at the moment:

      Yes, I don’t think the original devs could ever have seen a post with more than a handful of comments. As soon as they mount up we do start to have issues. It will be a priority are for Liftoff! (see announcement here!)

    Thank you so much for putting your time + effort into this! I’m enjoying Limbo so far :)

    Is there a specific place to put suggestions/requests? I’d love to be able to filter out or block words (rather than just people + communities), and it would be great to be able to collapse replies + not have to scroll through lengthy reply chains if you don’t want to.

      This is the best place to get my attention!

      Filter request understood and sounds doable.

      Collapse replies – long press on the comment :-)
