News and discussion about the Flemmy client for Lemmy.

The design goal is to make a clean and performant app that will not only be a client for a Lemmy instance, but to be another layer of the Fediverse in your pocket.

The first priority will be insulating users from their home server - if it goes down or they sell to a company you don't trust, it could really destroy the experience.

The next priority is customization. Filters, personalized sorting, stitching multiple account feeds together - all while never sending the data outside your device. Some of it is present now (like keyword filtering or snoozing communities temporarily), some will be the focus of version 2 (stitching feeds, adjusting how much you see a community)

Team Luna


Luna is currently in its early stages, and your feedback holds immense potential to shape its future direction. This is the app that aims to have it all, plus a little extra.

In terms of features, Luna boasts an extensive range that stretches beyond basic posting and commenting. But that's not all โ€“ I've taken the liberty to incorporate many more based on the suggestions received during this process. Notably, the addition of various filters, such as keyword, site, read, and NSFW, has been significant. Plus, there's room for more โ€“ additional filters can easily be implemented upon request.

As for my own contributions, I've introduced various enhancements. Some, like the replacement of links (e.g., twitter->nitter), have been well-received successes. Others, such as direct site connection and search upon clicking, are in progress, while a few, like the option to copy post links, may border on extraneous clutter.

Admittedly, there's still plenty of polishing required, and the layout is a work in progress. Bugs, if encountered, will be swiftly dealt with. If you're up for exploring something that's a tad unpolished but brimming with potential, I invite you to join the beta. Let's collaborate in refining Luna โ€“ the Lemmyverse app that's delightfully extra

When I first saw your comment about Flemmy, I set a notification to look for it in a few months time.

As I understand, the name has been changed to Luna. Is it still hosting a mini-instance of Lemmy on your phone or computer you control, purely for you to interact with the fediverse?

I liked the idea of owning my own account without bothering to setup my domain to automatically point to my raspberry pi. Specifically because last time I tried, the exact setup documentation from my domain provider would give me an error that seemed contradictory (I think, it's been over a year).
