You can now grab lemmur from [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.krawieck.lemmur/) and the [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.krawieck.lemmur). If you want to follow lemmur releases/news checkout the [repo](https://github.com/krawieck/lemmur) and/or follow the [!lemmur@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmur) community. You can always support the development on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/lemmur) or [BuyMeACoffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lemmur) PS. We do not flavor our releases: github release tab, fdroid, and play store apks are built from the same source code. Feel free to download lemmur from any place you like.

 Lemmur is a mobile lemmy client that I and [@shilangyu](https://github.com/shilangyu) have been working on for quite some time. It's supposed to give you seamless experience when using multiple instances. It's available for android, windows and linux, although it is mainly targeted towards mobile devices. The experience on other platforms might be less satisfactory. This is only an alpha release so not everything will be working, there are some parts of the app that aren't finished. But we believe it is usable _enough_ for people to browse their favorite instances. At the moment we would prefer to focus on fixing bugs rather than implementing arbitrary features so if you have any bugs or crashes please let us know in the comments or [create an issue on github](https://github.com/krawieck/lemmur/issues/new/choose). Screen recordings are welcome (github now supports uploading `.mp4` and `.mov` files), it's always easier to understand the problem through visuals rather than words only. If you'd like to see a version for iOS on the apple app store or just generally would like to support the development you can chip in over on [patron](https://www.patreon.com/lemmur) or [buymeacoffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lemmur), which will help cover the $99 developer license. Here are some screenshots of the app: https://imgur.com/a/B5XhhXQ
