Hey guys, a week ago I started working on a lemmy app like many others as an excuse to learn flutter. Along the way I found an old app that was abandoned but very well built.
After a couple of days I was able to get things running and semi-useable again. Including posting this post from the app! The main effort being updating to 0.17.x.
Here’s some screenshots:
I’ll be renaming the app (so I can republish it), tentatively under the name “Lem”… but really open to ideas here.
Haha, how ironic. I downloaded the old Lemmur from F-Droid today, having no idea it had been abandoned. When I couldn’t add lemmy.world, I knew something was up.
It’s a good looking app, so good on your resurrecting it!
As for a name… Given it’s a resurrected app, how about Zommur? 😁
Literally installed it today too lol
I did the same thing last week, that’s how I got started on this whole thing! Hahaha
“Leap”
Because, that’s what lemmings allegedly do, but also encouraging people to take the leap and embrace the fediverse
Leap for Lemmy
If you don’t go with any of the other people’s suggestions, I’d like to inform you that in Danish, Lem basically means penis :)
These things are important when it comes to international products 🤣

Shout out to https://kbin.social/u/Gamers_Mate for the name suggestion!
Hey Zack, we should probably talk!
I follwed the same route but focused on the iOS side and so I have “Limbo” in TestFlight! Lemmur is such a great base isn’t it? It’s such a shame that the original devs moved on.
Have a look at my take at https://lemmy.world/c/limbo
A group of lemmings is called a slice, the app could be something like
LemSlice
SliceOLem
Or maybe just Slice
Just some ideas
I’m here for this. Need a decent app. Looking forward to installing and using.
If this is eventually going to serve as a Lemmy and Kbin app, maybe don’t tie the name to the former. Not that I’ve got any suggestions for you.
Honestly, I think Lem is too similar to Mlem and Memmy and whatnot. I’d go with something Fed- or Thread- or Verse-related. Like Threader (could style it differently) or something
I think Lemmynade would be a perfect name.
Holy crap that’s pretty good. We might have a winner
I like it. It needs to have bright summer colors then though
Holy crap, this reminds me so much of Infinity for Reddit (my favorite reddit client.) If this releases I’d love to try it out!
If you’re game to test while I get the wheels back on we’re making progress!

Note: significant bug with the comments due to API redesign that happened in the last 4 months.
Is it open source?
Yes it is (GPL 2.0)
It’s looking great man, keep up the good work
Sweet I’m gonna use this. I always thought it kinda wild that people don’t write readers for this kind of website in RN or Flutter, considering you don’t need any extra native functionality at all. Would love to contribute too.
This looks great! I never used Slide, I was a JoeyforReddit user, but I’m really excited to see all the different apps in development.
You could make THE LEMMY app:
- By scraping all communities with the same name hosted in different instances and letting us subscribe to some/all of them all at once.
- By scraping kbin magazines too
Hey man, thanks for the hard work! Seems it only works for lemmy.ml? I can’t add my account at lemmy.world!
This, please.
