Native Gtk client for Lemmy. Contribute to lemmygtk/lemoa development by creating an account on GitHub.

Hello everyone, I recently started working on a Gtk client for Lemmy written in Rust, called Lemoa and the awesome Relm4 crate.

So far, it supports most of the basic things that do not require a login, like viewing trending posts, browsing communities, viewing profiles, etc… Login features are planned to become added within the next one or two weeks, so that Lemoa can be used as a replacement for the web UI on a desktop.

Screenshot of an example community page:

Id you want to feel free to already try it at “alpha stage” (installation instructions are in the Readme).

Feedback and any kind of contributions welcome!

PS: I’m sorry if that’s the wrong place to post about it, I didn’t know where else to.

    I’m sure it’s a nice client but I don’t understand why so many GUI projects have no screenshots in their READMEs. It would be great if I could immediately see if I like it without installing it.

    EDIT: thanks for adding the screenshot to your post! It looks awesome!

      I completely agree. It’s the bare minimum to include screenshots if you want people to be interested. If the barrier to see if I even like the look of the app is cloning and building the project then I’ll probably just move on to an alternative.
