hariette@tech.lgbt - #kbin + #lemmy app is coming along. Here's a preview of the upcoming beta. This is less than a week’s worth of work, so it’s only up from here 😉

Based on polls, looks like Artemis is winning for the name. Which is a great tribute to #ApolloApp 🙏

Stalk my work and suggest ideas in the app's Discord server (link in bio).

More clients is always cool, I hope Infinity for Reddit dev makes a port to Lemmy. I'm surprised that being FOSS there is still no community port or a fork or nobody has mentioned it yet (or at least I am not aware of it).

Well that's three apps for Lemmy on iOS with two being directly inspired by Apollo
Choice is great and all but at this small scale feels like unnecessary replication of work
- This one at least will be on Android and iOS
  
  Memmy is react native so it should be cross platform too. Only Mlem is Swift and iOS only
- Artemis is going to be cross platform I'm pretty sure. Which is good. On Android, Jerboa is okay but still kinda rough.
  
  TIL there is an android app.
  
  That's great! I hope this would get people to take the app and use it more, I'm hearing alot from other people about how it's difficult to use.
- It doesn't bother me at all. Alternatives mean more chances to find something that fits my needs.
- Artemis is for Kbin as well. The original working name was kmoon
- While there are a few apps for Lemmy now, afaik this is the only app currently for Kbin users. More competition in the space will only make all of the apps better in my opinion.
  
  Is it available to try out yet?
- There’s an open need - and a winner isn’t really determined yet. Let’s see how it plays out. ¯(ツ)/¯
- Lemmy has 2 apps. I believe this is the first for Kbin, but it also works for lemmy.
  
  What are the two? I’m trying out Mlem now, but would like to check out alternatives.
- gotta start somewhere.
- And we only need one big instance of kbin, and a single web browser, OS etc
- Since when is more choice a bad thing?Especially now when we're at the beginning of everything blowing up in popularity. Im going to try all the apps and decide which UI I like using most, just like I did with RiF, relay, sync, etc. The more developers the fediverse attracts the better imo.
  
  It's just like, at what point are your goals so similar that you might as well collaborate?

Awesome! If you need beta testers let us know 💖
Edit: found the link in your comments, added myself 👍
- The OP isn't actually Hariette herself. That would be @hariette and @hariette!
  
  Shame on me, sorry. I'm just excited to see how quick all of this comes together.

Ok, sharing mastodon posts isn't as easy as I thought 😅
- That's fine, that's what the development lifecycle is for :P

It'd be nice to have a Kbin app on android. I signed up for a lemmy instance because none existed and I didn't like using the web interface on mobile.

Excellent! The web app for kbin is not great so looking forward to an android native lemmy and kbin app what I can use instead of Jerboa too

Looks Great! Can’t wait to give this a try.
- Here is her signup for the private beta: Beta signup
  
  Just signed up! Thanks for sharing the link!
  
  Thanks, just signed up.

I have been testing both !memmy@lemmy.ml and !mlemapp@lemmy.ml and both still have some bugs to work out, but they are progressing quickly. Memmy for instance had 2 updates just today, with another option with in the way of Artemis it is looking like we will have some, if not plenty of choice.

Nice! If I may, can i add a feature request? Can you also add a way to hide seen posts? But the app looks awesome so far, its exciting how quickly this platforms are growing.
- Using jerboa for Android and this is one thing I sorely miss.
  
  This is already a feature in lemmy itself. You go to user settings, and uncheck "show read posts". Works in Jerboa.
- I'm not related with the project. Just wanted to share that information that popped up in my timeline.
- She has a feature request section on her discord, if you’re interested

Looks very slick. I look forward to having options.

Damn this looks incredible, can't wait for release

This is great! I absolutely love it! Can't wait for it to be released!

@ottk3 Yeah, it looks cool but I was infinity user and loved it. I tried almost all reddit client(Rif, Sync, boost, Joey, Slide, Relay, and so on)but nothing could beat infinity. And the iOS apps were not that good either(that was probably cause i was using iPhone 5s). And it would probably be easier to do infinity clone as it is open source.
- Haven't seen much about this project nor if it will be open-source. But it looks at least promising and I really loved Apollo in the past.
  I think any good alternative client that can use the current momentum of kbin/lemmy is good.
  Even more since Jerboa is afaik developed by one of the two main devs of lemmy and they will probably/hopefully focus more on the core development and I doubt that they can maintain an additional mobile app at the same time.
- Eyy another infinity user! Went from using RIF to infinity and never really looked back. Well up until now ofcourse
- Yeah, I really want to try to carve out some time and try to build something more similar to my favorite 3rd party app (Narwhal). Choice is definitely key here.
- I want Infinity clone to happen ! Disappointed to hear they're going paid subscription only ...
