Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to announce Lemma, yet another Lemmy client for iOS!
As a longtime fan of Christian's work with Apollo, like many others in the Lemmy community, I embarked on developing Lemma when Apollo closed its doors. My goal was to create a native feeling iOS experience that captured the essence of Lemmy.
What began as a personal project to challenge my technical skills has now evolved into something remarkable. I'm delighted to share Lemma with the world, even though it's still in its beta phase. I'm continuously working on adding more features every day. At the moment, the focus is on optimizing the viewing experience and discovering new communities. Soon, I'll be incorporating features like submitting new posts and responding to existing posts and comments.
Key Features:
- Super-Charged Media Viewer
- From videos and GIFs to (Imgur) albums, Lemma supports it all.
- Lemma goes the extra mile by parsing the body of posts to find even more media than most other apps. For example, it can collect all images inside a markdown post, displaying them in a neat image album overview.
- Powerful Search
- Lemma seamlessly integrates with Lemmyverse.net, making it easier than ever to discover new communities.
- Fully Customizable
- Personalize your experience with 16 themes (both dark and light mode), 6 comment color themes, and a compact post viewing mode.
- Swipe Gestures
- Upvoting, downvoting, or saving a post? With Lemma, it's just a swipe away.
- Share as Image
- Sometimes, a picture says more than a thousand words.
- Safari Extension
- Effortlessly open Lemmy content in Lemma using the built-in Safari Extension.
- Cross-Post Support
- Stay updated with cross-posts in your feed.
- Multiple Accounts

It looks nice but there’s absolutely no reason you need to collect anyone’s personal information for this
Pre release of a Lemmy app you’re asking people to give you their first and last names and personal emails.
No thanks man.
Would’ve been better to release the TestFlight link, but that shares your email with them anyways. So I get where you’re coming from, but it actually doesn’t make a difference. And it makes sense to have a way for people to sign up for when it releases.
Edit: TestFlight doesn’t share email addresses with developers, I misremembered
I’d rather give that info to Apple thats connected to an intentional test flight app and agreement than to a Google form that doesn’t necessarily do anything but build a database of our personal info
My bad, I thought the user’s email addresses are visible in App Store Connect, but I misremembered. They’re actually hidden, so you‘re right.
I started using "hide my email" everywhere anyways, so whoever wants one of these throwaway addresses can have them.
