Are there any sites or communities tracking all Fediverse mobile apps released or in development?

So far I'm only using Jerboa on Android, but I imagine some of you are working hard to stand up new experiences? Would be especially interesting to know of apps being developed by any of the Reddit 3rd party devs that are being displaced by Reddit's surging greed.

It seems you're talking about Lemmy? Or do you actually mean Fediverse apps?
- they probably mean lemmy/kbin mobile apps.
I would like to jump on this question and express my interest as well. Not only for Lemmy/Kbin, but for everything Fediverse, including Calckey/Misskey, Mastodon, etc.
- Mlem looks really good for lemmy, although of course a lot of features are still missing.
  
  The question is rather for an overview. I'm actually using Mlem already. But it is pretty cumbersome to check all possible channels whether they might a new app, an update or the like.
  
  So, a page that tracks all existing clients, clients in development and plans would be really helpful.
Kmoon for kbin
There’s https://github.com/tleb/awesome-mastodon#clients for Mastodon.
Shameless self promotion of the page I just published earlier today including this information (along with other stuff). Though to be clear, this page is for Lemmy/Kbin/Tildes. Not the greater Fediverse.

- Great view in, appreciate your service to the community
!memmy@lemmy.ml

memmy is still in early alpha/beta and resembles Apollo, but it’s pretty good already

currently there is an ios version in testflight but the dev is also working on an android version (not yet available but they said it is about 90% ready)
- Do you mean mlem? That’s the TestFlight app I have.
  
  nope, there is another app called memmy

Edit: oh, mobile apps? Maybe Fedi.Tips on Mastodon (you can follow the account via RSS as well). Otherwise I do not know. Any platform publishes information about its apps on the mobile website
yeh there are a few sites tracking them. you know what doesn't exist? decent desktop applications. web pages fucking suck
Don't think it exists. But if any new apps for Lemmy are created, I'd suggest they should appear either in F-Droid, Google Play Store or in some fairly active discussion thread on Lemmy.
I'm starting one as a side project, but it will be a little while before I'm ready to put anything out there.

Plus I'm a backend developer by trade, so will be learning as I go on writing apps.
Kbin now installs automatically as a PWA on Android. Not quite an 'app' but pretty good nonetheless.
