As a fellow iOS user, Memmy is pretty sweet for a version 0.0 beta app.

[–] remus 54 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Really enjoying Memmy too! Dev seems to be moving at a quick pace. The app is already functional and getting better each day

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yea I’m digging Memmy too!

How have I not found this!?

I wanted to check out Mlem, but it’s full. Lemur I think is discontinued. There is one that’s coming called Artemis, but that’s not available yet.

Memmy is honestly just what I was looking for. Cheers!

[–] MarsAgainstVenus 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I’ve been testing both and I definitely prefer Memmy overall. Mlem has better image display options and has search. Memmy doesn’t display images unless you tap on the post. Search should be released in the next day or two, though.

Artemis being an Apollo clone had me very excited, though.

Edit: new app just released on TestFlight showing real promise: Limbo

Both memmy and mlem have been great in their own ways thus far. Both are in testflight and getting regular updates, in addition to the news about sync there is also news about another new one called artemis that is aiming to be apollo styled.

Would you like a more 'Material' lemmy app on iOS??

Yeah I’ve been enjoying Memmy. Considering how early it is, it works really well.

This is exactly why I never pick iphones, because a good chunk of the time you miss out on all the niche things you can do on a smartphone.

[–] MercuryUprising 39 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I never pic up an iPhone because Mac discontinued support for my $6000 editing computer within two years when they scrapped the mac towers and went laptop only.

My first smartphone ran Android 2.0 and back then apps were developed for iOS first. How the times have changed.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 years ago (3 children)

[–] MargotRobbie 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Please let that also be a Lemmy instance, Lemmy needs horizontal distributed scaling.

Man, I love sync and can't wait to continue using it.

[–] warmaster 9 points 2 years ago

SHIT. THIS IS AWESOME !!!

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 years ago (4 children)

You already have like 3 apps. We have jerboa. Jerboa.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

And Jerboa probably won't be updated for a while with the devs so busy working on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Is jerboa first party?

Actually, a new Android client called Thunder has entered Alpha. It's SEVERELY lacking in features as of now, though.

Just waiting for Christian to announce he's rewriting Apollo....

[–] some_designer_dude 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same! I hope he’s considering it… Lemmy + Apollo would make it 1000x more attractive for Reddit users to enjoy Reddit without the management team’s constant fuckery.

Man the ad for lemmy if he announced it with a pop up on Apollo reddit opening

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

That would make spez so incredibly angry. And then promoting it on reddit in his subreddit and then people posting it to the apple sub would make me not surprised if he banned Apollo sub out of anger.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

After everything that happened, let the man enjoy his forced vacation for like a year before going back into the fray.

Happy for Android users, but for those that don’t know, on iOS, we have three apps in beta we can download, and all three are very good with the current state they are in. I suggest giving anyone of them a try.

Memmy Join the Memmy App beta - TestFlight - Apple https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

Mlem Join the Mlem beta - Testing Apps with TestFlight https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc

Limbo https://testflight.apple.com/join/e6ZEbxuR

The official community is on Lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy

There's also a subreddit r/syncforlemmy

I dare say he'll be wanting to get out a functional app before implementing things like support for Kbin. But it's worth requesting it. If enough do so, perhaps the more priority it will get.

Been using sync (paid) for over 10 years, will instantly buy a Lemmy version

I always used RIF for reddit but I'll definitely give Sync a try if this actually ends up happening

[–] Ech 14 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Fwiw, the dev for RIF has announced they're going to be making an app for Tildes.

What do we have to do to convince Christian Selig to make Apollo for Lemmy?

[–] RandallFlagg 12 points 2 years ago

I already pay for Apollo, I'd happily keep paying for Apollo for Lemmy, I'm sure tons of users would.

I mean sync had and iOS version so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

The early days of reddit were wild with everyone making third party apps. This will be like that again but now we have established Devs throwing their hat in the ring to make their versions of Lemmy Apps.

[–] Ech 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Y'all are always considered the default anyhow. Let us have something XD

I need an Apollo alternative. Memmy app for iOS comes close though 😄

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Love Sync, but I wish Infinity also implemented Lemmy support.

Any idea if there's a chance that the app will be open-source?

just a PSA, remember you can still use Lemmy as a PWA ("install" lemmy.world from safari as a shortcut)

[–] mamalapandu 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I have been using Limbo which feels pretty good. https://testflight.apple.com/join/e6ZEbxuR
