Since many of us are trying to avoid giving reddit any traffic, this space can be used to discuss Apollo, our dreams of seeing it join the Fediverse, and to give our appreciation to @[email protected] for his incredible work.

State of current alternatives (self.apolloapp)

There are currently several applications available for iOS to access Lemmy instances. Each of which has its own benefits and drawbacks. I love Voyager (or wefwef as I still like to call it), but even the installed app is I believe just a repackaged PWA. So I’ve been looking at alternatives that vary from PWA to native Swift implementations. The list I’ve checked out so far are.

Avelon
Bean
Mlem
Memmy
Voyager / vger.app

I know Lemma is forthcoming, also.

I’m wondering what others current preferences are including values like price, license, governance, and features.

It feels to me like the days before Apollo arose where there were many great Reddit apps, but none that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Does anybody feel there is an app shining to that degree yet as Apollo did once it hit the scene?

No - I’m on Memmy as that’s the only one that has smooth scrolling and reader mode for web links. But there’s bugs and the occasional crash. I’d go with the wefwef thing if that had auto-reader, as it’s a bit better on the gui.

All I have tried have the same shitty disruptive scroll-to-top if you happen to touch top of your screen (like Apollo had).
