As a fellow iOS user, Memmy is pretty sweet for a version 0.0 beta app.
Really enjoying Memmy too! Dev seems to be moving at a quick pace. The app is already functional and getting better each day
Yea I’m digging Memmy too!
How do you get it on your phone?
Download Testflight then find the magic link to join the beta.
Thanks! ❤
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!
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
Limbo feels very Apollo
Wow, Limbo is looking really good. It already feels better than the official Reddit app.
Thanks for mentioning this. Just downloaded it and I’m loving it so far. Very clean layout and some features that Memmy or Mlem don’t have yet, such as being able to save posts and comments!
Im using jerboa and it looks great!
You are able to login with a kbin acc on it?
kbin doesn’t have APIs enabled so Apps can’t talk to it yet
Would you like a more ‘Material’ lemmy app on iOS??
No
Fr I’m glad people have moved on from material design for iOS apps. Always felt like there was so much wasted space, and not enough gestures
Yea it’s definitely a good start!
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.
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.
Which one was that?
2011 Mac Pro, which was discontinued in 2012, while support for the design was fully discontinued in 2013, when mac decided it would completely change everything and focus on the trash can design.
I get upgrading and whatever the fuck, but this was supposed to be an upgradeable machine, like a user built pc, but then they just fucking dumped support within 2 years, which should be fucking criminal considering its outrageous price.
How can you tell something that looks like a trash can that it belongs in the trash? It is the trash.
Lol we still have these an my company.
It doesn’t make my life as a network engineer hell at all, having to figure out how to make decade old technology fit into a fiber network in a windows environment.
They fit pretty well in the storage closet until the companies life cycle replacement sees them replaced with Windows machines.
You guys are getting new devices?

I would not get your hopes up. The last I heard the rumor said that you would only be able to side load on an iPhone if it was activated on a European carrier
My first smartphone ran Android 2.0 and back then apps were developed for iOS first. How the times have changed.
Time to join us Android bros
It’s nice that we can have all these choices for 3rd party clients that won’t end up getting screwed over due to a central authority.
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.

Thank you for sharing this! I was searching for an iOS app.
Thank you! mlem beta is full but was able to get into the others.
Nice same!
You already have like 3 apps. We have jerboa. Jerboa.
Actually, a new Android client called Thunder has entered Alpha. It’s SEVERELY lacking in features as of now, though.
There is also summit and connect
could you give a link for connect?

Didn’t work great when I tried it on Sunday. It would load my instance, but login was broken. Seems to be a bit better now. Weirdly my OP shows up in it, but your reply doesn’t.
thank you.
I like Flutter based apps, so that makes me happy. I saw it a couple of days ago and while it is lacking in features, it does feel nice to use and looks much better than Jerboa IMO.
And Jerboa probably won’t be updated for a while with the devs so busy working on Lemmy.
Is jerboa first party?
It’s made by the main Lemmy developer, but it’s his personal project and not the official Lemmy android client. He’s been making some controversial commits on Jerboa in the past on the basis that it’s his personal project, so he can do as he please (unlike Lemmy which is funded by a foundation).
Can you elaborate on the “controversial commits”? I’m on iOS so haven’t been following anything on the Android side
The memmy dev is going through the process of getting a test version approved for the playstore
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. Bjt it’s worth requesting it as the more who, perhaps the more priority it will get.
Your url is a bit messed up. See my comment’s source for how to format your url.
SHIT. THIS IS AWESOME !!!
Please let that also be a Lemmy instance, Lemmy needs horizontal distributed scaling.
This is how I’ve been thinking Lemmy can scale. Sync can host their own instance funded by premium subscribers. In other cases, a group of friends with common local interests can host an instance with their local channels plus caching posts on other instances, and peoppe could connect to that or lemmy.world for free and see the same content.
Man, I love sync and can’t wait to continue using it.
Been using sync (paid) for over 10 years, will instantly buy a Lemmy version
I’ve never used sync, what makes it compelling?
For me, it was the swipe quick actions, true black dark theme, and how the comments were nested.
It just felt right 12 years ago, I’ll insta buy again
What do we have to do to convince Christian Selig to make Apollo for Lemmy?
I already pay for Apollo, I’d happily keep paying for Apollo for Lemmy, I’m sure tons of users would.
Just waiting for Christian to announce he’s rewriting Apollo…
Man the ad for lemmy if he announced it with a pop up on Apollo reddit opening
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.
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.
After everything that happened, let the man enjoy his forced vacation for like a year before going back into the fray.
I mean sync had and iOS version so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
The iOS version was handled by a different developer altogether. LJ has never done work for iOS himself.

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)
