Hi everyone,

The day has arrived: Lemmynade is now open for testing! Scroll to the bottom to get started, or read on to learn more.

 

What is Lemmynade?

Lemmynade is a refreshing mobile web app and desktop site for Lemmy.

  • Beautiful. Lemmynade is crafted to put the spotlight on users and communities to drive more engagement throughout the Lemmyverse.
  • Powerful. Lemmynade also strives to be a collection of top-notch Lemmy tools for lurkers, creators, moderators, and admins alike.
  • Accessible. Lemmynade is fully-indexable by search engines. All content can be accessed on desktop and mobile with or without an account. Accessibility features will continue to be added and refined.
  • Private. Lemmynade only collects simple, anonymous, aggregated data through Umami. Everything else is stored on your home instance or on your own device.

 

Why is it called Lemmynade?

It’s no secret the unfortunate reality of social media and Internet privacy these days. Some of us are here to escape from it all. Some of us are trying something new. Others have been pushing content and code night and day to make Lemmy better. A few of us are even here for !canning@midwest.social.

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

The name “Lemmynade” serves as a symbol of the incredible achievements made here despite the lemons we’ve been served. What we have here on Lemmy is remarkable. We are part of a vibrant, offbeat internet culture completely funded and maintained by its users on every continent. Lemmy is truly what we make of it, and I hope Lemmynade assists this endeavor in all the best ways.

    Is it a installable PWA?

    When I tried it stucked at signing in. I logged in first on Firefox and edge on Android and then install with both. Both stucked.

      Hmm, are you getting an error message, or is it just hanging?

      Edit: Looks like some instances can take a while to log in sometimes. I increased limits and moved things around to allow more time for logging in. Let me know if you’re still having trouble!

        It seems the overlay does not disappear. The blurred behind the overlay was changing so I think the feed is working.

      Yep! After you enter the access key (in the post above), press “continue as guest”

      It will send you to a general-purpose instance to browse anonymously. If you’re in the browser, you can also type https://lemmynade.app/[instance] to browse from a specific instance

    Tried it now on the Chrome mobile browser.
    There is some sluggishness when scrolling through the tape. Hopefully the app will become faster and smoother.
