My app Arctic falls into the free, closed source, privacy respecting category. I see what your going for as far as a direction for the community, but it is limiting for apps such as mine. Just because software is free, and doesn’t track its users does not necessarily mean it needs to be open source. Closed source software also does not equate to being nefarious or tracking users.
I’m a big fan of FOSS, and am working towards open sourcing components of Arctic, but I haven’t decided whether I want to fully open source the project.
What I’d prefer to see is requirements for post formatting. So all submissions need to include information about the client
- pricing (free) (paid) (freemium) (IAP)
- source (closed-source) (open-source)
- tracking (ads) (crashlitics) (anonymous) (etc)
- platforms (web) (windows) (linux) (iOS) (android) (cross)
I’m a fan of this community because it is the only one I’ve found that is targeted specifically at providing information about lemmy clients, and with the proposed changes, I see that information becoming more fragmented. I’d rather see changes along the lines of what I suggested, or similar, and then maybe a new community could be born (FOSSLemmyApps) which could be advertised in a stickied post here, and included in the sidebar.
Ultimately, it is up to you as the moderator, but I do hope you’ll consider feedback from the existing subscribers. Perhaps an open discussion, or a poll would be good for getting feedback about the proposed changes.
Arctic supports all available mod actions, and also has a mod-zone in the sidebar. I do need to work on improving them, but the support is there.
[edit] it also supports push notifications for reports and applications.
Auto-reader is for opening links in the browser in reader mode, where only the text is shown in a nice readable format. It’s great for some of the horribly formatted sites with ads between every paragraph.
!arctic@lemmy.world supports in-line gifs/webp/videos/etc, basically all media types supported by iOS except for webm. I would assume most clients are only displaying the thumbnails in-line to reduce data consumption, and memory requirements, but that is just a guess.
The mobile theme on lemmy.world is Voyager. You can see it linked on the lemmy.world sidebar. Voyager is just a web app, so it can be hosted by instances as a mobile UI.
I added crossposting support in Arctic recently, I’m not sure if any other iOS clients support crossposting at the moment.
Here is a shameless plug for my own Lemmy app Arctic. It’s a fully native pure Swift based app built with performance and content presentation in mind. It’s packed full of features, and more are being added all the time.

This is most likely the preferred language setting on your account. By default, it’s set to unspecified. If you change it, then everything with a different, or unspecified language is filtered out. Since the majority of content on lemmy has an unspecified language, you’d be missing out on most content.
You can try my Lemmy app, Arctic. It’s a pure swift based iOS app, written with performance, and content presentation in mind. It’s packed full of features, and new ones are being added constantly.

Here is a shameless plug for my own Lemmy app Arctic. It’s not left TestFlight just yet, but it hopefully will soon. It’s a pure Swift based app built with performance and content presentation in mind.

Thanks for posting this! It helped me find a bug in my app where it would download that entire file into memory while attempting to fetch metadata for the link. Whoops.
