The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:
- Artemis (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
- Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
- Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
- Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
- Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
- Beyond (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
- Limbo (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
- Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
- Slide (Android, lemmy): link
- Sync (Android, lemmy): link
- Unnamed (kbin): link
Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don’t work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357) so things should get better with time. Some of the apps are in very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

I’ve been using Jerboa but I’ve run into so many things that just don’t work. It’ll randomly crash when trying to open community links, I can’t consistently get back to previous comments that I’ve made (to view replies, etc), and a handful of other things.
I’m not angry, cuz I understand that this app is relatively new and the platform as a whole is having a lot of growing pains, but I just wanted to say that I have definitely had some issues with this app.
I’m sorry that you’re having those issues. I haven’t noticed any of those things. I do wish you luck in finding the right app for you.
Searching for some communities on other instances also seems broken on Jerboa. I had to go to the lemmy.zip site and follow a certain one from lemmy.world from there.
