I hope some of the great Reddit apps switch to Lemmy. I would definitely pay for a Lemmy version of RIF any time. That’s what happened at least with some famous Twitter apps, which now support Mastodon/Akkoma/Calckey.
I’d love it if Boost did it
Same. Boost has been my only way of accessing Reddit for years. If Reddit doesn’t reverse it’s stance on 3rd party apps API access then that’ll be the end of me using that platform.
I’d be so happy if baconreader switched, but I don’t have high hopes.
Love me some Bacon Reader
Redreader dev said they were going to build their app to work with lemmy, hacker news, and other sources. Hopefully others follow.
When there were limited options for reddit, devs came and build the first apps. There is opportunity in lemmy now, so I’m sure others will pivot
Lemmur looks nice but I can’t seem to add a new instance (I’m on programming.dev). Does that work for anyone else?

Blocks instance? In what way?
deleted by creator
Jerboa isn’t an instance. It’s just an app. If a community hasn’t been indexed yet, then Jerboa can’t find it in search. You’d need to use the website to do that first. Once added it should then show up in search for others on your instance in Jerboa. The only thing that can block instances is other instances.
Lemmur is discontinued, there’s only jerboa at the moment
As far as I know, not yet.

What is it that you dislike about Jerboa, since Lemmur is now unmaintained? I’m unlikely to spin up a new app, but I think knowing what people want would help either improve Jerboa or at least point anyone who does want to start a new app in the right direction.
There is no search function currently. I understand Jerboa is pretty much a work in progress, but the sudden spike of Lemmy in popularity makes the thing more urgent
There is a search functionality, it just depends on what your instance has cached and definitely isn’t perfect. I’m on beehaw, but here you can see some lemmy.ml communities that I’m not subbed to showing up in my search:
Good! But I’m struggling to find it. Where is it?
