Lemme - Apps on Google Play
play.google.com
Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, Raddle, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse. For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere. The overall goal is to create an easily self-hostable, decentralized alternative to Reddit and other link aggregators, outside of their corporate control and meddling. Each Lemmy server can set its own moderation policy; appointing site-wide admins, and community moderators to keep out the trolls, and foster a healthy, non-toxic environment where all can feel comfortable contributing.

Hi all!

Wanted to share something I’ve been working on for a little bit. There are probably a ton of bugs and a bunch of features that are limited/not working, but any and all feedback is incredibly welcomed + if you find any issues please let me know.

I’m going to try to be publishing regular updates for features + bugfixes so please keep an open mind :)

Regards, Johnny

Edit: also I just published a new build that should be out in a day or two that optimizes the performance of the post details screen and adds support for markdown. If viewing posts is really slow please be patient.

Edit 2: I do plan to publish to Fdroid once things are a bit more mature.

Edit 3: Final edit I swear. I’m not associated with the main Lemmy devs and definitely don’t want to steal the spotlight from any of the incredible work they have done.

    Commenting from your app right now (: I’m really enjoying it for a first release! Has a nice design that doesn’t make it feel outdated like some open source apps.

    Some immediate problems:

    • Bottom bar is not dark in dark mode

    • Notification bar is grayed out and does not match well with the dark theme

    • No indication of when posts were submitted

    Regardless of these immediate problems, I enjoy it and will be using it plenty. I recommend everyone to try it out.

    P.S. Could you link the source?

        The notification tray at the top is gray and doesn’t go well with the color of the dark theme.

          Ah! Funny because I didn’t even notice that at first but now that you point it out I can’t unsee 😬. Will fix this in the next release 🙂.
