Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to announce Lemma, yet another Lemmy client for iOS!

As a longtime fan of Christian’s work with Apollo, like many others in the Lemmy community, I embarked on developing Lemma when Apollo closed its doors. My goal was to create a native feeling iOS experience that captured the essence of Lemmy.

What began as a personal project to challenge my technical skills has now evolved into something remarkable. I’m delighted to share Lemma with the world, even though it’s still in its beta phase. I’m continuously working on adding more features every day. At the moment, the focus is on optimizing the viewing experience and discovering new communities. Soon, I’ll be incorporating features like submitting new posts and responding to existing posts and comments.

Key Features:

  • Super-Charged Media Viewer
    • From videos and GIFs to (Imgur) albums, Lemma supports it all.
    • Lemma goes the extra mile by parsing the body of posts to find even more media than most other apps. For example, it can collect all images inside a markdown post, displaying them in a neat image album overview.
  • Powerful Search
    • Lemma seamlessly integrates with Lemmyverse.net, making it easier than ever to discover new communities.
  • Fully Customizable
    • Personalize your experience with 16 themes (both dark and light mode), 6 comment color themes, and a compact post viewing mode.
  • Swipe Gestures
    • Upvoting, downvoting, or saving a post? With Lemma, it’s just a swipe away.
  • Share as Image
    • Sometimes, a picture says more than a thousand words.
  • Safari Extension
    • Effortlessly open Lemmy content in Lemma using the built-in Safari Extension.
  • Cross-Post Support
    • Stay updated with cross-posts in your feed.
  • Multiple Accounts

TestFlight

In the coming days, I’ll be launching Lemma on TestFlight for a closed beta. If you’d like to be part of Lemma’s development, sign up using the form below:

      You’ll need at least iOS 13.0 to use Lemma, except the Safari Extension which is only available on iOS 15 and newer.

    Looks great. Especially looking forwards to being able to share posts as images, that was one of the best parts of apollo :D

    Can’t wait to get testflight access!

      Every app I’ve tried has basically the same layout, memmy, voyager, mlem all the same. It’s just which does it best.

        There’s a difference between similar layouts and literally identical.

        Lemma looks 99% identical to memmy

          Sure but does one have a better looking theme/icon to you? Is one more buggy than the other? Does one implement iOS photos ai stuff? Does one have cool backgrounds? Does one run faster? Does it support all lemmy settings? These don’t change the layout but may factor into which app you choose.

      I would give it a go if only for the stated improved image viewer.
