I searched Lemmy in the app store. I didn’t (and still don’t) understand why there are a bunch of third-party apps that connect to Lemmy. But it seemed like Voyager was popular, so I went with that.

I would read up on how the fediverse works if you don't understand why there are so many "third-party" apps.

These 2 things are not related though? Reddit is not part of the fediverse and had plenty of third party apps until they changed the API.

[–] sour 15 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It does answer why there's no official app, which is the question.

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 months ago

There were many third party Reddit apps before Reddit had their official app. And you could argue that Jerboa is the official Lemmy app since it is made by one of the main Lemmy devs.

It kinda does. Why are there no open source apps in the app store?

Is there any open source code for iOS or Android apps?
