Hello everyone, I recently started working on a Gtk client for Lemmy written in Rust, called Lemoa and the awesome Relm4 crate.

So far, it supports most of the basic things that do not require a login, like viewing trending posts, browsing communities, viewing profiles, etc… Login features are planned to become added within the next one or two weeks, so that Lemoa can be used as a replacement for the web UI on a desktop.

Screenshot of an example community page:

Id you want to feel free to already try it at “alpha stage” (installation instructions are in the Readme).

Feedback and any kind of contributions welcome!

PS: I’m sorry if that’s the wrong place to post about it, I didn’t know where else to.

    Yes, that’s also the reason why the app uses gtk4 without libadwaita, I want to be able to use Catppuccin on it :)

      For me cattpuccin also works with libadwaita apps if you symlink the config in gtk-4.0 folder of the theme to .config/gtk-4.0 or is it something more than the colors you are missing for libadwaita apps? 🙈

        Hmm, I’ve symlinked the gtk-4.0 folder to catppuccin, but some apps like Nautilus don’t seem to get themed (not even sure if it uses libadwaita though). Some others do work.

          Hmm thats strange, nautilus is definitely themed for me, apart from symlinking and setting the general gtk theme, I think the only thing that I did in addition is setting the following in settings.ini

          [Settings]
          gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true
          gtk-icon-theme-name=Papirus-Dark
          gtk-theme-name=Catppuccin-Macchiato-Compact-Mauve-Dark
