  • If you prefer an open source app, native, complete, with a decent UI and an active developer community, the official one is definitely the best. And I mean Jerboa, because it is the official client made by the very same people that are making Lemmy (so always compatible and up-to-date with the server development).

    Otherwise, if you don’t mind using a closed source app, Summit is the most feature rich one and it is maintained by a professional industry-level native Android developer who really knows what he’s doing.

    Finally, if you want to experiment with a cross platform app, open source and well maintained, with a really nice user interface, have a try with Thunder.

















  • It’s still too early to tell anything, hope they come back too!

    The Lemmy ecosystem is weird because there are so many Lemmy tools maintained by a single person yet at the same time the majority of Lemmy’s user base is tech-savy (we’re mostly nerds working in the IT field) and we should be inclined to collaboration rather than competition, considering the amount of criticism about western capitalism here.

    The reason may be that many projects started out as experiments/for fun, or that we are unwelcoming to new contributors, who knows…
