Apollo - A beautiful app built for power and speed.

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.

Christian Lemmy needs Apollo. I am an ultra subscriber and would gladly pay again for an apollo version to browse Lemmy.

I know there are more than a few that agree with me!

If you haven’t tried Memmy yet, the beta is looking dope

[–] mattclassic 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely try Memmy if there are still spots open. Any native app experience is way better than using mobile web.

[–] Cna 12 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Yes memmy is great. The dev is updating it almost 2-3 times a day to get it working! There was another one (mlem?) but last i heard there was some disagreements between the dev and community and it was pulled with plans for it to be continued by someone else. I never tested it (beta was full) so not sure if it was better or worse than memmy. All I know is I am typing this from Memmy and couldn’t be happier with it.

Yep another Memmy user here. Also an Apollo subscriber, and Memmy feels as close to that experience as I’ve found so far. Also tried to get onto the Mlem TestFlight but it was full.

[–] PabloPicasshole 7 points 1 year ago

Another +1 for Memmy. It’s no Apollo but it’s the best experience so far that I can find.

[–] Famborghini 3 points 1 year ago

It feels similar to Apollo. I’m definitely migrating well. I have to if I’m going to survive without Apollo :(

[–] gestalt 1 points 1 year ago

Currently commenting on this with Memmy, surprisingly similar to Apollo!

Porting over all the communities I used to follow back on Reddit before Apollo goes down.

[–] Steveanonymous 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m currently test flighting memmy and mlem. Memmy is winning me over more and more. I still don’t know what I am doing as far as adding “subreddits” for lack of a better term but I’m getting there.

Starting all of this over again is good for me though. I’m 44 year old low voltage technician and I need to keep my brain in shape ;)

Artemis is kind of a "successor" app to apollo (but for Lemmy), it will apparently be both for android and iOS

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

I’m using Memmy but I can’t figure out how to see my notifications and comments. It looks like profile page is still a work in progress.

Hoping it gets sorted soon, as otherwise it’s been pretty solid.🤞

Not many iOS apps for Lemmy yet.

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

Inbox is coming. It’s only about 50% built right now

[–] tomkatt 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you the dev? If so, thanks for your work on this. It's much nicer than trying to browse via mobile web, even if it's still incomplete.

[–] Ghostalmedia 3 points 1 year ago

I am not, just someone following the beta. The dev is over at c/[email protected]

[–] xektor17 2 points 1 year ago

Can confirm.

My Lemmy usage has gone up since I started using Memmy.

It’s the best app I’ve found for iOS so far.

[–] RickAllensLeftArm 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m also an ultra subscriber who would happily pay for an Apollo for Lemmy app. But if Christian isn’t interested in making one, there are several other apps in the works. I’ve tried Mlem, Memmy, and Limbo - Memmy is definitely my favorite so far.

[–] kratoz29 4 points 1 year ago

It is too early yet, but check out this web app

https://wefwef.app

If it doesn't scratch the itch for Apollo then IDK what else would do it.

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

The guy who makes Sync for Reddit is making a lemmy app, so whether or not apollo happens there will at least be one high quality app

[–] schmurnan 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is Sync for Reddit and Android only app?

[–] IgnoreKassandra 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's available for ios on testflight as a beta, but obviously only for another week or so.

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

Really, do you have a link, please? I'd assumed it was Android only.

[–] MushuChupacabra 1 points 1 year ago

I'm a Sync guy, and plan to buy pro when it comes out for lemmy.

I am onehundred percent in favor of keeping the money coming in for the developers. I know nothing of the technical hurdles, but my message to Christian and all developers would be this:

Please help us say fuck you to spez, by letting us give you money.
