Great idea, I will add it as a settings option.

Thank you for reporting the issue. As the app currently has no crash reporting, I can't be sure what the cause of the crash is. I'll see if I can find a solution, though.

It's not possible with the current version. The next version will use the sort type that is set in the settings of your Lemmy account. I will also add the option to remember the selected sort type for communities and feeds.

 

Changes in this version:

  • Comments and posts can be edited
  • Added an insert link tool to the text editor
  • Added a settings screen with options for light/dark mode, dynamic color scheme and text size
  • Fixed some bugs related to account switching
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when clicking a link

Thank you for the detailed feedback. Material You dynamic theming is supported in the latest release that is now on GitHub. Profiles, messages and search are some of the features that I want to add next.

Hi, I'm the developer of Lemming. You can find it here: lemmy.world/c/lemming_app.

[–] stechuskaktus 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The source code is now publicly available: https://github.com/janniskilian/lemming
The app will be published on F-Droid, but I don't know yet when I will find the time to do it.

No problem, it will be on the Play Store next week.

Hello everyone!

For the last two weeks, I have been working on an Android app for Lemmy as a side project. It's called Lemming and has now reached a state where I want to make it publicly available. The app is not yet available on the Play Store, so if you want to install it, you can download the APK file from the GitHub releases page.

Here are some key features that Lemming has right now:

  • Support for multiple accounts
  • Swipe to vote for posts and comments
  • Navigate comments with the volume buttons
  • Long press on a comment to collapse it
  • Write posts and comments with a text editor that supports text styling and a preview
  • Long press on post image thumbnail to see the full image
  • User interface is optimized for phones, tablets, and foldables

Some screenshots to give you a better idea:

What's next?
I plan to release a beta version of Lemming on Google Play next week, to make installing and updating the app easier. Then I will focus on adding missing features like supporting links, displaying user profiles, personal messages, search and community sidebars. I also want to add customization options and improve the accessibility of the app. Lot’s to do :) Of course all of this depends on the feedback I get from the community and what is most important to the users. So don’t hesitate to give feedback and tell me what features you would like to see next!
