Memmy for iOS is inspired by Christian and his work on Apollo.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the developer is going an awesome job. It’s early but it’s really promising.

[–] LazaroFilm 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

And the AppStore just got updated with new icons and less bugs!

Memmy is easily a 9/10 already, just missing some features.

Been absolutely loving the Dracula (purple) theme!!

I loath the font size of the subjects of posts in my feed. It's the opposite of sleek. Huge and bold regardless of anything I toggle. I can't find a way to change it and it puts me off. Al my font sizes are set to small, and the feed is compact, so seeing it huge and bold is just off putting.

I've kept with WefWef/Voyager for that reason alone. I come back to see if try here are more options, but it hasn't happened.

Otherwise it seems great.

[–] BroBot9000 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Weird, I have no issues with any font sizes. Mind posting a screenshot? I’m super curious.

[–] SauceFlexr 3 points 1 year ago (9 children)

Notice the gap in disparity between my name at the top, the font in the bottom row and the posts. I get it won't all be the same, but I also tried to show a post with not aton of text being in 5 rows.

Now compare to Voyager the same-ish posts...

To me, it's much cleaner and closer to my system font size. Not the end of the world, but when just scrolling through posts irks me, I look for alternatives. Though I did find a few other things I liked while figuring out how to reply and post images.

At the end of the day, I'm reasonable. People like what they like and tend to stick to that. I found WefWef/Voyager fist and it felt and looked like Apollo (font size and all). Then I found Memmy, so that might also play into it.

Once I get the equivalent to the new comment highlightinator (displays how comments are new since the last time you click the post) and customizable swipe gestures I will be very happy

Pretty sure that’d be Voyager (formerly wefwef). It’s already been adopted by lemmy.world under m.lemmy.world

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, Voyager/wefwef and Memmy are separate things

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Well yes. I’m actually using Memmy. But I guess I don’t see how it would be inspired by Apollo. Don’t get my wrong, the dev is doing amazing work and I think it’s the best Lemmy app right now, but Voyager is 100% Apollo’s clone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This is true. Memmy is a great app but it's still not quite a clone of Apollo. Wefwef/Voyager is legitimately Apollo's UI, almost 1:1. It just doesn't have haptics 🙁

Sync for lemmy will nearly have feature parity to old sync on launch!

Vger.app was wefwef and is very much like Apollo

[–] fox2263 3 points 1 year ago

I fact it’s very much like Apollo, and the whole reason I’ve come to lemmy full time the day Apollo went dark.

I’ve even self hosted it.

[–] kvothelu 13 points 1 year ago

after using wef wef I think we are ready for web based apps. we shouldn't be in walled garden. i didn't know web apps can be this smooth.

I wanna see RIF for lemmy but I'm actually pretty satisfied with liftoff so far. It needs some more optimization but when it's working quickly it's a pleasure to use.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same feeling here. So far Liftoff seems like the closest experience to RiF

[–] AlmightySnoo 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Voyager 😤

vger.app or m.lemmy.world, it's an open-source app that anyone can install as a web app from the two URLs, or self-host one's own.

[–] nostalgicgamerz 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

The source app is called WefWef FYI. This “voyager” is a fork.

Edit: false. wefwef renamed app to Voyager

Liftoff has been a joy to use.

Boost for Lemmy coming soon

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Memmy and Voyager are both amazing and reminiscent of Apollo. I pretty much switch back and forth between the two because I can’t decide which one I like better. Voyager, being a PWA, has this annoying stutter sometimes with scrolling on iOS. But other than that I think Christian should be proud that his app inspired so many others to model after.

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

RIF for kbin

[–] Ensign_Crab 4 points 1 year ago

Omelette du fromage.

[–] JJROKCZ 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea but didn’t he say he’s not interested at this time? I think he just wants to chill for a bit and made enough off Apollo he can do so

[–] ivyZorz 5 points 1 year ago

I by no means mean to put any pressure on Christian or anything. Just hopeful! He should take all the time he needs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Boost for lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sync for Lemmy would be sexier
