Neither of the devs have commented in months and no updates in the github for a while either. Has it been abandoned?

    I switched to jerboa. When I would post to Lemmy from Lemmur, i had to pick from a pull down list of all the communities which also took forever to load. I also had weird issues with the text input field, if I tried to autocomplete a word, it would type out the whole word but leave the part i’d already typed, so like “rapscallion” would be “rapscarapscallion.” The grass is definitely greener over here.

      I had the exact same issue with lemmur. But when I downloaded jerboa and tried to do anything it was unresponsive mostly. I could look at posts but could not log in or vote or comment.

      I have the same issue it drives me nuts. That’s why I’m back on lemmur as well.

    I was wondering the same thing. I was having issues with Lemmur and decided to log out and log back in. Unfortunately, when I log in it never fully loads. The circle just spins and spins and never logs me in. I even reinstalled the app but no luck.

    It hasn’t been updated in months. It’s a shame as I thought it was an incredibly slick and aesthetically pleasing app. If it ever gets updated I’ll certainly come back, but in the meantime I’ll stick with the less slick looking but much more functional Jerboa.

    They probably are focusing on jerboa, and I support it (even if I like lemmur more at this time)

        Dessalines, am I right? Should be one of the main developers of lemmy, and AFAIK one of the main contributor of lemmur. Maybe I’m mixing things up

      That’s good but it is also good for there to be a plurality of clients. One reason why Reddit did so well I think is because of how they built it to be client neutral compared to facebook or even twitter.

        Of course, but jerboa should be a better base for future clients, since it’s a native-android client

            There really isn’t anything not native about Flutter. It’s just a newer framework than the default android framework.

            You’re correct - Flutter isn’t a native Android language and instead will compile the codebase to an app native to the intended platform(s). However, I think you may be mixing up Jerboa and Lemmur. Jerboa is written in Kotlin, which is a modern 1st class Android language. Lemmur is written in Flutter.
