The kbin/lemmy app is coming along. Here´s a little preview of the upcoming beta! Heavy inspiration from Apollo. The app will be available for both iOS and Android.
The dev, @hariette, also has a Mastodon profile where she posts updates https://tech.lgbt/@hariette. There is also a link to the apps discord server in her bio.
As a longtime Apollo user, I would love to know when this hits Test Flight!
Same, I'd love to beta test.
Unlike Apollo, will this be Free Software though?
Apollo did have a free tier and then a few paid tiers.
iirc, (I bought it many years ago), they had a one time Pro purchase that removed any ads and unlocked theming and such, and then the Ultimate which was a subscription to cover server costs of push notifications (although it did eventually end up having more features locked behind it).
While I personally did not go for the Ultimate subscription (didn’t really need the push notifications), I gladly paid for the Pro as it was well worth it IMO.
Go to her mastodon. You can request to be a beta tester.
Never used Apollo, but great news to have multiple ways to interact.
About the app being proprietary or open source it shouldn't matter. The foundation is federated community, the ways to interact can be federated too. Mix of open source and proprietary.
@Lilkev nice app!
Can't wait for this
Sounds awesome! I'm commenting, so I can find this thread later. I can't figure out how to bookmark it.
Signed up for testing!
That looks great! iOS and Android? Can’t wait to try ut!
@hariette thanks!
