      Saw that some lemmings have developed an iOS only app for Lemmy which while I understand is a replacement for Apollo, made me curious of how many people are using android or iPhone.

      It’s pretty good hey? I’ve done some Android dev before so spent the weekend making some fixes and improvements for it, and lots of others are doing the same. I figured the better it is to use, the more likely it is that people will hang around after the Reddit implosion. With its current velocity I expect it’ll be damn near amazing in a month or so!

        Ooo good idea.

        I’m an android dev too, though only via csharp so all the APIs have very slightly different names or are invoked as properties rather than methods etc (like “cameraManager.getCameraIds()” would be “cameraManager.CameraIds”).

        What’s the best way to get involved? Just look for open issues on github?

    Android for about 12 years now. Started with an iphone 3g, but just after the iphone 4 came out apple rolled out a mandatory ios update that made the 3gs run unbelievably slowly (I’m talking several minute’s delay for almost any action). Thousands of people complained on apple forums, asking for a patch, or simply being able to roll back to the previous ios version. Apple’s response was basically “Instead of us fixing the problem we caused, why don’t you reward us by buying the iphone 4 (while still paying off your 3g under contract)?” Once the contract expired on that 3g about 6 months later I got my first android phone and haven’t gone back.
