Hi all, keeping this post short, I am working on a new Lemmy app for iOS and Android, heavily inspired on the Infinity for Reddit app.

The app is very much still a work in progress, but I’s like to share some screenshots and a few MVP functionalities already implemented:

Screenshots

Already implemented:

  • Anonymous browsing;
  • Login;
  • Multiple accounts support;
  • Account switcher;
  • Post cards
  • Sorting posts by Lemmy’s sorting options (Active/Hot/New/etc…);
  • Listing posts by Lemmy’s listing options (Subscribed/Local/All);
  • Upvote, downvote (and counters), comment counter, save;
  • Mark post as read;
  • Infinite post scrolling (keep on scrolling, app loads more posts in the background);

What’s next before I make it available in the app stores (MVP):

  • Post view (see post’s comments);
  • Add a comment to a post;
  • Create a post;
  • A sexier selected account card on the sidebar;

What’s still to do before I can call it a beta version:

  • Profile view;
  • Community view (rules mods other details);
  • Search;
  • Dark mode;

What’s to come after:

  • Custom theming/Material You support;
  • Advanced post filters;
  • Community groups (Add communities to a group, see posts only from selected group);
  • A video player with controls over speed playback and maybe quality if possible;
  • Alternative posts view (compact card, list, etc)
  • Other cool misc options.

Dreams:

  • Kbin and Mastodon accounts support.

Keep an eye for future posts, I may be able to announce the MVP by the end of this week if everything goes well, but I can’t promise anything :)

EDIT:

This post got so much traction than I had predicted. Thank you so much for all your comments and ideas! I tried to reply to as many as I could.

I also collected from this post a bunch of good suggestions from you which for now I am keping track of here: https://brunofinger.notion.site/brunofinger/Beyond-45cabaae7f724cd5ad2b77d902e9a97e

The app name probably will be “Beyond” as suggested by a couple of users here, and really like this idea as it creates a sort of symbolic link to Infinity as the inspiration for my work by the famous “To Infinity and Beyond” phrase :)

Thank you all for your suggestions, as some have suggested above, I think I will probably go with Beyond, as Buzz Lightyear says, “To Infinity and Beyond!”, seems like a good way to honor Infinity but also look at the future beyond.

I like Lemur! Maybe Lemiverse?

Yeah lemur is a good name. Nice icon with a wee lemur on it maybe ?

I like Lemiverse. It’s a lot more searchable than Lemur and reminds me of the space theme of Infinity with the lil guy in the flying saucer.

I’ll suggest they keep the ‘Lemur’ name.

Lemur is already the name of a Lemmy app that died :/

Lemmur may well have died, but its being resurrected…

It was Lemmur, but close enough to not get my vote.

How about drawing name inspiration from infinity as well and altering Ouroboros the eternal self-eating serpent.

You might call it Lemmoboros and the logo could be something like this:

If you wanted to stick to Infinity’s space-ish theme, I think Lagrange would fit pretty well (though there is a Gemini browser of the same name)

Or a synonym of Infinity like Boundless or Eternity

Eternity has a nice ring to it 🙏

I don’t have much of an imagination so I asked Bing AI:

  • LemmyGo: A simple and fast way to access Lemmy on your mobile device.
  • Lemur: A cute and catchy name that plays on the similarity between Lemmy and lemur, a type of primate.
  • Lemo: A sleek and modern name that sounds like a combination of Lemmy and emoji.
  • Lemix: A name that suggests mixing and sharing content on Lemmy.
  • Lemyx: A name that uses an unconventional spelling to stand out from the crowd.

If it’s OK with u/iamthatis, I’d suggest … Mercury (the Roman name for Apollo).

I like going the lemming related route…

  • Lemmini
  • Lagurus
  • Muskrat

Or in a different direction: Lemmyn. With a yellow citrus 🍋 logo.

Also, Infinity was my most recent Reddit app of choice. I miss it. Really looking forward to testing yours out.
