      Actually, a new Android client called Thunder has entered Alpha. It’s SEVERELY lacking in features as of now, though.

      And Jerboa probably won’t be updated for a while with the devs so busy working on Lemmy.

          It’s made by the main Lemmy developer, but it’s his personal project and not the official Lemmy android client. He’s been making some controversial commits on Jerboa in the past on the basis that it’s his personal project, so he can do as he please (unlike Lemmy which is funded by a foundation).

            Can you elaborate on the “controversial commits”? I’m on iOS so haven’t been following anything on the Android side

        It’s a shame because they are now so many contributors, it’s really picking up steam.

        I’m refreshing GitHub multiple times a day for the new version haha.

    This is exactly why I never pick iphones, because a good chunk of the time you miss out on all the niche things you can do on a smartphone.

      I never pic up an iPhone because Mac discontinued support for my $6000 editing computer within two years when they scrapped the mac towers and went laptop only.

          2011 Mac Pro, which was discontinued in 2012, while support for the design was fully discontinued in 2013, when mac decided it would completely change everything and focus on the trash can design.

          I get upgrading and whatever the fuck, but this was supposed to be an upgradeable machine, like a user built pc, but then they just fucking dumped support within 2 years, which should be fucking criminal considering its outrageous price.

            Lol we still have these an my company.

            It doesn’t make my life as a network engineer hell at all, having to figure out how to make decade old technology fit into a fiber network in a windows environment.

    It’s nice that we can have all these choices for 3rd party clients that won’t end up getting screwed over due to a central authority.

      Please let that also be a Lemmy instance, Lemmy needs horizontal distributed scaling.

        This is how I’ve been thinking Lemmy can scale. Sync can host their own instance funded by premium subscribers. In other cases, a group of friends with common local interests can host an instance with their local channels plus caching posts on other instances, and peoppe could connect to that or lemmy.world for free and see the same content.

    Happy for Android users, but for those that don’t know, on iOS, we have three apps in beta we can download, and all three are very good with the current state they are in. I suggest giving anyone of them a try.

        For me, it was the swipe quick actions, true black dark theme, and how the comments were nested.

        It just felt right 12 years ago, I’ll insta buy again

        Feature rich. Basically whatever way you want to view Reddit, it has it. It also played videos much better for me than the official app. Very customizable and great ease of use.

    • Same! I hope he’s considering it… Lemmy + Apollo would make it 1000x more attractive for Reddit users to enjoy Reddit without the management team’s constant fuckery.

        That would make spez so incredibly angry. And then promoting it on reddit in his subreddit and then people posting it to the apple sub would make me not surprised if he banned Apollo sub out of anger.

    The official community is on Lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy

    There’s also a subreddit r/syncforlemmy

    I dare say he’ll be wanting to get out a functional app before implementing things like support for Kbin. Bjt it’s worth requesting it as the more who, perhaps the more priority it will get.

    Any idea if there’s a chance that the app will be open-source?

      Try wefwef, it’s very similar to Apollo
