EDIT: I’ve created a community for the Lemon app:

[email protected]] [https://lemm.ee/c/lemon] ! Hello community! 👋 I wanted to
drop a short announcement: I’m building an iOS client for lemmy, named Lemon 🍋!
It is still very much in early development, only having one week of dev time so
far. I’m not yet ready for users (unless you want a lot of bugs 😅). I’ll be
sharing some development logs throughout the journey. Consider this the first of
(hopefully many) entries! Story time: For years, I was an avid user of Apollo
for Reddit [http://apolloapp.io]. I was an “ultra subscriber” and occasional
donor, since I loved the app and Christian Selig
[https://twitter.com/ChristianSelig] was such a kind and engaged developer. He
managed to build both an inspiring app and community. I was heartbroken when I
learned Apollo would shut down due to Reddit’s API changes. Lemon for Lemmy as
an homage to Apollo and is greatly inspired by his amazing work (Thank you,
Christian!) Features Some of the currently-working features are: - 🔒 Logging in
and registering (including instance search + information browsing such as user
count, location, accepting memberships, etc!) - 💡 Light and Dark modes - 🔼
Upvoting / downvoting posts with optimistic updates and rollbacks (including
swipe to vote!) - 🚀 highly performant feed with infinite scroll - 📚 persistent
cache to read while you’re offline My goal is to make this a fully featured
Lemmy client for iOS, and hopefully one day as good as Apollo is/was! That’s all
for now. Here’s some screenshots. Until next time! Dark Lemon
