Thanks, I noticed Lemmur while looking on F-droid for Lemmy but saw it hadn't been updated in 10 months so figured it was out of date. I just installed it and tried it and I only see a spinner icon, including when I select Lemmy.ml in the pulldown. I can try Lemmynade if there is a .apk on Github but I think building Android apps takes more tools and stuff than I want to deal with at the moment.

Edit: I installed Lemmynade from Github but something very similar happens, it starts with a spinner, and when I try to connect to lemmy.world (the only specific host offered), it fails with an SSL connection error (failed certificate verification). That may again be an Android version comptibility problem, if the .apk is signed with a cert from a CA that isn't in Android 7's root store, or something like that.

I hope issues like this can be sorted out. RedReader installs and works on my phone without problems. Lemmy in general seems to be more "modern" than Reddit in a not-good-way, using a lot of shiny but unreliable tech, thus the constant fails logging in, posting, etc.
