Looking great, can't wait to test it! Nothing against Jerboa for the time being, but alternatives are always welcome. Been testing summit yesterday that someone posted as well, and I think every app has some unique features about it, so let's see where the journey goes.
Ideally I'd love to have something as close to Reddit Sync as possible :-P
As for the name, isn't Lem a bit short? Not that I dislike it, but in terms of being properly searchable on google and the likes it might be better to go for a longer, unique search string, else it could get a bit cluttered.
Should have a testable android APK on the repo tomorrow and I'll work on getting the iOS app out for people to sideload.
Over all it works pretty well, there's a few bugs but it's a solid foundation!
Yeah I suck at names, I'll keep thinking
Sounds awesome! Do you have a link to the repo so I can follow you there?
Yeah you can track progress here:

I'll make a more formal GitHub release hopefully tomorrow!
I have good news for you. Sync for Lemmy is happening!

I second Lem being too short unless op plans on doing a lot of SEO or making people search Lem for Lemmy.
No fucking way!!! YES!
