The Memmy dev has pushed almost 70 major TestFlight builds in two weeks. Dude is a machine.

It forms a nice 🖕lol
🤣
You’re not wrong lol though tbf 0.18.0 made Lemmy quite a bit more usable for me.
Oh geez, the 30th is coming quick isn’t it
There’s been a lot of activity there recently, lots of new contributors!
I just made my first contribution to liftoff and now I got the hang of it. I want to do a lot more.
Ya hopefully it starts picking up even more. I also just started up.
And I applaud them for it. Lemmy needs merch.
Also, friendly reminder that https://join-lemmy.org/donate exists.
Lemmy NFTs, anyone?Great idea and while we are at it we could increase API prices.
I feel for them. Keep strong…
I don’t know which app to settle on since they are being updated so frequently. Thunder and Jerboa are my top contenders at the moment.
Coming from Infinity for Reddit, I’ve been really enjoying Jerboa
It has a similar feel, somehow. Glad it was the first app I picked here as I went through quite a few reddit apps before eventually settling for Infinity.
+1 for Jerboa if you’re coming from Sync. Very similar style, and it just works 😃
Jerboa has been fantastic as a former baconreader user (well, still am til the first). Can’t recommend enough
Today is my first jerboa day and it took me over an hour to sign in… I am a literal rocket scientist with a PhD. This switch from Reddit is gonna be hard…
Just want to throw Connect for Lemmy into the mix as well. The dev is incredibly responsive to user reported issues and feature requests and it’s already a pleasure to use.
That’s great to see. They are expecting a huge influx of users and are working towards having things prepared.
I anticipate a lot of client apps will be ready by then as well, in order to promote themselves and Lemmy/kbin.
there is also strong positive feedback loop, i guess… among the early adopters who are already here are people who deployed their own instance and found that only way to fix something is to do it themselves and commit the fix ;)
Mine looks a bit different. Solid green for 2-3 weeks and radio silence after
Is there any infinity(reddit client) developers contributing to lemmy.consider asking them
I don’t know, but isn’t infinity planning to go subscription once the changes take effect? This would make think they’ll keep their efforts there
Ask OP. He’s the dev of https://wefwef.app, a PWA for Lemmy. Github, Lemmy Community .
My favorite Lemmy app so far.
@aeharding: thanks for this great app.
Impressive. Now let’s see the mobile devs git contributions
Connect is doing great, just got an update 3 hrs ago for and fixed some things I just noticed a moment agk
I have 4 mobile iOS apps on TestFlight. They seem to get big updates daily. I know lemon will be coming soon. So that will be 5. Things are moving fast.
I have 8 Android apps downloaded. I get multiple updates per day. I’m subscribed to GitHub release notification and my email is blowing up nonstop.
Everyone is working hard, which is great. Just a few weeks ago when I joined Lemmy the Jerboa app was pretty shit. I’d give it a 2/10. Now it’s a solid 6/10. Just needs more features and to stop timing out every 60 seconds.
Can you recommend one? I’m on MemmyApp currently, and the basic functionality mostly works, but I wouldn’t mind trying other options.
Copied form another user:
Mlem
Feels very Apollo like with things like slide to upvote and reply Doesn’t seem to be able to handle inline images and media (so you sometimes miss post information) Switching to new communities is not intuitive (you have to click the community name and type with the “Subscribed” toggle pane open) No guides on how Markdown works No message inbox Memmy
Has an inbox (not something I’ve seen from the others) Has Apollo like slide interactions Easy to find and switch communities Text is a little too small Found a couple of visual bugs (obviously this is all very beta!) Liftoff
Seems to show all the post information you could want (community it was posted too, which community that user is part of, etc) Feels a little bit like the official reddit app No Apollo like slide interactions Some interesting choices when trying to find communities (showing the full sidebar) Colours are a little constrasty A couple of UI bugs I don’t love the rounded corners on everything out of the box Thunder
Pretty polished Slide interactions are great Nice Markdown editor Not found any graphical bugs Some UI elements (subbing / unsubbing from a community) aren’t always clear Written in flutter so may not give a true “native” experience
Can you list the four and which is most like Apollo? 🙈
Shoutout to Memmy. The updates are coming at a furious pace.
The dev of the Thunder app is insane. New releases three times a week, with a lot of new features each time.
No kidding! I posted an issue on github yesterday and it was fixed in the release this morning. Absolute machine.
Funny post, especially since all apps are being discussed except wefwef by OP :))
Wefwef is great its the best app for lemmy
I’m using it now. I admittedly haven’t been on ios and using Apollo for close to 2 years now but this feels largely how I remember it.
😂😭
Hey, wefwef is amazing.
I hope they will add e2e encrypted DMs
Its called matrix
Yeah. Just embedding Matrix somehow would be the way to do this.
It is already embedded
Could you explain? Lemmy runs on ActivityPub.
You can add you matrix info under your profile. If you have a matrix handle the send secure message button will appear
Oh really! That’s neat.
That’s not really Lemmy’s purpose. I disliked when Reddit added it, and it would be an unnecessary addition here as well.
I get that it’s unnecessary, but why did you dislike it?
I don’t want a bunch of fucking randos trying to chat me up. If I wanted live chat I wouldn’t be Reddit (or Lemmy) in the first place.
It probably wouldn’t have been annoying if you could just disable it. Getting that little notification with a number (that you compulsively want to clear down to zero) was always a pain.
heyyy babby want 2 have the sex? send cc
