I really don’t think they owe people a Lemmy App. Hell, this platform might even be dead in a couple of months.

Lots of people are making Lemmy apps, so there’s no real need for them to make one as well. The entire platform is a work in progress and there are a number of apps available, so just be patient and eventually they’ll be refined and ready.

Perhaps Sync for Lemmy will help.

Unpopular opinion: I hope lemmy remains niche. Mainstream social media brings mainstream bullshit with it (trolls, nazis, low effort posters, bots, attempts at monetization leading to enshittification). People who are wanting a reddit clone, you're in luck, reddit still exists

How do you know they’re not considering it at all?

Reddit just pulled the rug out from under them, give them some time at least to come to terms with that and decide what’s best for them. They certainly weren’t hobbies, look at Christian’s (Apollo) posts on the debacle and you get a sense of the scale of what he built.

I’m hoping Christian makes a Lemmy compatible app (I’d subscribe in an instance like I have been for Apollo) like the developers of Tweetbot did for Mastodon but they have to do what is right for them in the first instance!

Development is hard. I wouldn't be surprised if they are waiting to see if Lemmy sticks before spending time.

Also they need to make a living some how. I'm sure implementing ads into a Lemmy app right now wouldn't go over well.

It's better for them to dust their resume off, update it, and attempt to get a new job before dabbling into making a free app with no revenue streams.

There are some fantastic apps being made right now though. For android I am following development for:

Connect

Jerboa

Liftoff

Thunder

Connect is only on Google Play, but the bottom 3 I keep updated using the Obtainium app which grabs the releases from GitHub (gets updates faster then waiting for Google Play).

Sync for Lemmy coming out in a few weeks is already huge imo.

It was my favourite reddit client; amazing to see it coming to Lemmy.

Also, wefwef.app is starting to feel alot like Apollo already.

If you're on iOS, some great options are (in no particular order):

• Memmy
• Mlem
• Liftoff

I would say give them a minute, month, year. They all just had a major ongoing project conclude in an unwanted way and they all deserve a break. Then in a few months or years maybe. Also, I don’t know the APIs for either platform but I would guess they are quite different so it might be starting over. As for Lemmy, I’m new to the platform but have been watching it for a while and reddit just gave me the nudge. Sure there will be a bunch of fair weather users that will go back to reddit once things die down, but they where not here before and Lemmy will be fine once they leave. Lemmy is such a breath of fresh air from the toxic nature of reddit and I just hope the Lemmy-for-a-day crowed can behave themselves for the period they are here.

Boost for lemmy was just announced.

Check out http://wefwef.app. It’s an excellent Apollo clone. We don’t need these devs. Others are stepping up.

To not the most popular choices, Boost and Relay were tied for first place in my opinion. (And I tried nearly all the Android apps)

While their devs owe us nothing, I sure hope future lemmy apps can borrow some of their awesomeness.

Boost for Lemmy will be a thing!

Not to sound rude, but did you do any research before naming all of these? Boost developer is developing a Lemmy app, you can find it on the Play store already. Sync developer is also developing a Lemmy app.
