Hi everyone,

The day has arrived: Lemmynade—a refreshing mobile web app and desktop site for Lemmy—is now open for testing! Scroll to the bottom to get started, or read the full post to learn more.

 

Get started!

While we’re in alpha, expect to encounter plenty of bugs. You can report a bug or submit a feature request anytime from the ••• in the upper-right corner of Lemmynade. When you’re ready, copy the Access Key below and continue to Lemmynade (lemmynade.app) →

Known Issues

  • The desktop layout will be available at a later date. Lemmynade is best used on small screens and mobile devices for now
  • Post creation is not the most elegant experience at the moment
  • Accessibility for screen readers, etc. is very limited at this time
  • Tabs do not always retain the last route or history
  • Sometimes, when returning to your home feed, it may spit you out above or below the scroll position you were at last
  • Markdown does not support tables, spoilers, and a few others at the moment

    Icon looks like a glass of pee. Could use a lemon or a straw to made it look more…lemony.

    Have been waiting for this release for a while after seeing your updates - congrats! I’ll have to give the client a shot :) keep up the good work and above all, take yourself before all else… I’ve seen so many app devs burn out after taking things too fast/seriously. Cheers!

      Thanks! At this point in time, it’s definitely the design and user-interface. I’m fine-tuning Lemmynade to look clean and feel smooth on every size of device, with touch-friendly gestures and micro-animations. It’s filled with sweeping community banners and colorful indicators to make it feel more alive.

      The long-term goal is to be an all-in one website for powerful searching, dead-simple Lemmy onboarding, community discovery, realtime updates, shareable links, and great mod tools. But we need to kill off the bugs and polish things up first before we get there 🙂

    Looks very cool! I’m very comfortable on Voyager, but I checked it out and my initial impressions:

    • Comments take up a LOT of space
    • IMO, comment replies should be shown by default (but obviously should also be in a setting)
    • The Lemmy devs would prefer if you didn’t show account points.
    • IDK if I’d show the name/community of the user above the title
    • Showing the title instead of community at the top when viewing comments would be cool
    • Maybe rename “Explore” to “Search” (or at least make it more obvious how to find search)
    • Maybe add a Markdown toolbar?
    • Reloading posts every time you exit a post makes it feel a bit slow

    No app’s perfect from the start, just my two cents. (Maybe I’m getting a little nit-picky? IDK, just my advice.)

      Hey, any and all critiques are welcome, thanks! Some of these things are on the roadmap, and I’m taking diligent notes on the rest for future alpha releases. Appreciate you checking it out!
