    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

      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

          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!

      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.

          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.

        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.

          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).

        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.

    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.

        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.

        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

        Feature rich. Basically whatever way you want to view Reddit, it has it. It also played videos much better for me than the official app. Very customizable and great ease of use.

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

        Maybe it’s on both?

        I know it was for years on Google Play.
