It's good but laggy. Swiping doesn't feels native unfortunately.
Are you using it as an installed PWA? I’m not having any issues with animations or scrolling. I have run into a few weird UI bugs with slide up menus within communities, but that’s about it.
As the Memmy dev I can also highly recommend wefwef. Great product for such a short lifespan.

Thanks for all you’re doing!
Quick question: I noticed the API calls aren't (weren't?) compressed, is that on purpose?
Going outbound or inbound? Outbound the requests are super basic, inbound they are pretty large. There’s a lot of limitations on that.
For example to get basic user info you have to receive a bunch of other information that you’re not going to bother using. Hopefully in time this will get changed, because there’s no reason to be receiving so much data whenever you really only need a few bytes.
the json coming back from requests like showing a thread was not compressed when I checked yesterday (firefox on ubuntu): https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/1a99e758-deaa-46f6-8eff-3aa2158858ad.png
but I just checked again and now it's correctly responding with compression (chrome on windows)
Ohh you’re referring to wefwef. I’m not the wefwef dev, I’m the memmy dev. Thought you were talking about API calls memmy makes.
oh shit sorry, apparently I can't read worth a damn
The fact that you’re not just actively engaging here, but advocating another route, makes me want memmy on apple.
Memmy is on Apple, in fact I think it’s only on Apple?
Memmy is on apple. Want no longer.
The key to making Lemmy work in my opinion is being a real community. That means having everyone help out in any way they can and working together. Memmy alone can never fill all the gaps, nor can anything else. A wide selection of options is key to getting more people on board.
Already we are seeing varying designs and implementations, and that is great since users definitely don’t want to be locked in to a single option. Glad to see it.
I do have installed as a PWA, and although I’m really liking it visually, it’s a bit buggy. I’d like to know if the bugginess is because of its beta status or the fact that it’s not native.
If it’s the latter, it’d be unfortunate since it’s making my switch to Lemmy so much smoother as I feel like I’m using Apollo, which I’m very used to.
IDK maybe I am being paranoid here :) Mlem feels smoother for me. It may be about frame rate too. I'm using 14 Pro and it has 120hz as I know.
Yeah I can also see that animations aren't as smooth as Mlem or other native apps, but it's not bad enough that it bothers me. On an 14 Pro also.
I imagine this has to do with the fact that PWAs likely don't have access to full hardware acceleration for graphics, but I also don't know enough about PWAs and iOS to know for sure.
