Mlem - iOS native Lemmy app (github.com)

Hey all! Just wanted to shout out the app we are working on for Lemmy on iOS. We love Apollo and took lots of inspiration from it, but also have a lot of our own twists on the experience (Federation has it's own twists on top of a single website!).

We are actively pushing updates a few times a week right now and building up a solid foundation if "1.0" features to submit to the app store in the coming weeks/months.

Personally it's be a great excuse to learn Swift, SwiftUI and iOS development in general. What a blast!

Wefwef is the closest thing to Apollo I’ve experienced so far https://wefwef.app/settings/install

Yup, this is Apollo carbon copy alright. And I LOVE IT. I was honestly worries since my experience with webapps was less than stellar for a while, they're trash at best. But this is surprisingly fluid and feels close to a native app. I've both Mlem app and this, and so far this has HEAPS more features backed in and the only advantage Mlem has over it is that it is an app.

I’m trying a few apps, as well as MIam, but the one thing I miss from all of them is the Apollo condensed mode, a la old Reddit, but smarter. I think the first that scratches that itch will keep me as a customer.

Holy shit, this is the one. I hope a native one comes out one day, but I’m shocked at how good this web app is.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Second this! Shocking how similar it feels despite being a web app.

Top Tip for anyone reading: Definitely "install" it to your home screen; it makes the gestures work so much better.

[–] avater 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

it might be the closest from an ui/ux point of view but it still has a lot of issues with posts, messages, commentaries not loading.

But it is one to keep an eye on, I'll give it that.

Got a link for the TestFlight?

[–] KillaBeez 4 points 1 year ago

It’s a web app. Just follow the instructions to put it on your home screen and launch it from there.

I’d also recommend giving Memmy a try:

Posting from memmy right now and it’s pretty damn good. Even got some good themes.

[–] SmarfDurden 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have no idea what to do to get that app

[–] lucasban 3 points 1 year ago

First you need to download the TestFlight app from the App Store if you don’t already have it. Then, on the GitHub page, click the link that says “click here and join the group”. After that you will be able to install the app from TestFlight. Later, they will have a stable release in the App Store, and you should be able to switch over to that then, if you like.
