Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to announce Lemma, yet another Lemmy client for iOS!
As a longtime fan of Christian’s work with Apollo, like many others in the Lemmy community, I embarked on developing Lemma when Apollo closed its doors. My goal was to create a native feeling iOS experience that captured the essence of Lemmy.
What began as a personal project to challenge my technical skills has now evolved into something remarkable. I’m delighted to share Lemma with the world, even though it’s still in its beta phase. I’m continuously working on adding more features every day. At the moment, the focus is on optimizing the viewing experience and discovering new communities. Soon, I’ll be incorporating features like submitting new posts and responding to existing posts and comments.
Key Features:
- Super-Charged Media Viewer
- From videos and GIFs to (Imgur) albums, Lemma supports it all.
- Lemma goes the extra mile by parsing the body of posts to find even more media than most other apps. For example, it can collect all images inside a markdown post, displaying them in a neat image album overview.
- Powerful Search
- Lemma seamlessly integrates with Lemmyverse.net, making it easier than ever to discover new communities.
- Fully Customizable
- Personalize your experience with 16 themes (both dark and light mode), 6 comment color themes, and a compact post viewing mode.
- Swipe Gestures
- Upvoting, downvoting, or saving a post? With Lemma, it’s just a swipe away.
- Share as Image
- Sometimes, a picture says more than a thousand words.
- Safari Extension
- Effortlessly open Lemmy content in Lemma using the built-in Safari Extension.
- Cross-Post Support
- Stay updated with cross-posts in your feed.
- Multiple Accounts
TestFlight
In the coming days, I’ll be launching Lemma on TestFlight for a closed beta. If you’d like to be part of Lemma’s development, sign up using the form below:

Why do I have to give out my email? 😕
I get it, right now it’s not perfect, but I’m starting with a closed beta to work out the kinks first. Once we’ve got that sorted, anyone can hop in and join the beta with a simple link (:
Edit: It is indeed like @mrmoj0rising said a way for me to invite people to the group in TestFlight. I’m pretty new to publishing apps on TestFlight too, so I’m still learning as I go but I figured this was the best way to start.
so is it going to be FOSS?
Nice username
Imagine the actual spez wants to lurk the lemmyspace, and then having to be spez2 or sp3z or some shit lmao
Imagine the actual spez asking if apps are FOSS
Fuck u spez
You could just limit the amount of testers and use a link for sign up, but you’d have to put it on TestFlight first obviously. But you’d still see the email addresses there so doesn’t really make a difference. I think it’s fine, you’re not forcing anyone to sign up
He says it’s a closed beta, so I assume it’s so you can be contacted with the TestFlight link, and then perhaps to cross reference your Apple ID/iCloud in TestFlight to verify the right people have accessed the Beta?
I don’t know, I’m just guessing. Hopefully OP will clarify.
Well, that answers my “should I try it out” question
