About Mlem

Mlem is an open-source iOS client for Lemmy, the federated link aggregator and discussion platform. It lets you browse communities, read threads and join conversations across Lemmy instances from a native iPhone app rather than a website.

The project is developed in Swift by a group of contributors on GitHub and includes an Open in Mlem extension for handing Lemmy links to the app. It suits Lemmy users on Apple devices who want an app built for the platform.
