About Interstellar

Interstellar is a client for the link-aggregator and discussion parts of the fediverse: Mbin, Lemmy and PieFed. It lets you follow communities, read threads and take part in discussions from one app instead of each server's web interface.

It is built with Flutter from a single codebase, and the repository contains Android, Linux and Windows targets alongside other platforms. It suits people who use Reddit-style fediverse communities and want a dedicated app that works across more than one server type.

Strengths

  • Works with Mbin, Lemmy and PieFed in one app
  • Cross-platform from a single Flutter codebase
  • Open source with a published privacy policy

Limitations

  • Smaller project with a modest contributor base
  • Features depend on what each server type supports
