OP is just saying that it’s not a fork of an existing codebase. It’s all new code.
But yeah, the UX is a shameless Apollo clone.
Although Mlem, Avelon, Lemmios, and Memmy are all a little shameless about ripping off various Apollo patterns. A lot of the iOS Lemmy developers aren’t taking the time to think about what lemmy-specific UX problems need to be solved. All the iOS lemmy apps are feeling like Gru’s Minons. All super similar, but with slight variations.
