They are honestly both good, but can’t beat the native ios experience.
For me it's been a SHOWDOWN between Memmy and Mlem

Damn it, now I have to download that one too.
Thanks for the download, and I hope you enjoy it! We’re firm believers in the native Swift experience, even though it takes a little longer to develop in
i'm sorry I don't have an opinion both are good.
At this point I’m just collecting them all, got to pump those download numbers!
If that’s the case, be sure to get Thunder too.
Edit: Just remembered Liftoff and Nemmy.
Trying Mlem for the first time, the only thing that bothers me is that it shows total post scores and not individual numbers for up/down votes. I like seeing when something is controversial vs ignored.
Funny you should mention that, I'm actually working on implementing that exact feature right now! It'll be out in the next build.

Mlem is good, but I’m holding out for the iPad version.
It’s coming! We’ve got development slated to start early August, it should enter TestFlight beta sometime shortly after then.

Ok good, I’m not the only one! Feel like Mlem doesn’t get enough love! I like Memmy too, don’t get me wrong.

Although that has its benefits, it still has scrolling issues for me :/

I use wefwef and it’s my first time learning about memmy.
What are the advantages of PWA?
I like wefwef but the scrolling does get me from time to time.

It’s also cool how it can update frequently and fast. It seems to get small updates most days right now.

And because its UI is a million times better. I don’t understand how people could see them both and go with Memmy.
because it’s not a blatant clone, and it’s a native app. I’m sure it’s good but i don’t want to go via safari every time i access Lemmy and it’s just a copy of apollo.
I don’t see how it being a clone is a negative. All I want is Apollo, and this is pretty damn close, so I’m happy. But to each their own!
Also the gestures are kinda glitchy and is slow compared to memmy.
Huh that’s interesting, it’s waaaayyy faster than Memmy for me. I know what you mean about glitchy. Annoying, but that’s the WebKit bug, and I’ve learned to just wait a second before scrolling down the feed after returning from a post. I don’t even think about it anymore, but I could see how that could bother some people.

Mostly Voyager for me because it’s almost a 1:1 clone of what I know and love.
But I have Memmy installed too and sometimes use that instead with no particular rhyme or reason.

As a ~~wefwef~~ Voyager user, I was like "What's a memmy?" but I see it's IOS only... :(
Imagine touting the benefits of an open, decentralized, user-centric platform, and ONLY releasing your app for it on the most closed, centralized, corporate mobile operating system.
Not sure if this is hypocrisy or a lack of self awareness or what, but memmy is a joke for doing this
It's almost as if the developer likely owns the phone and simply wants a native app for it?
The app is like, brand new… u just hating today
On a Friday too… they need to chill 😂
So all the apple users should just stick to reddit.. What's the logic behind your reply?

Memmy is fantastic as is the developer.
Mlem dev here—couldn’t agree more about Gavin, he’s a fantastic guy. Gave us some helpful tips about getting through App Store review. Massive props to him for getting that app up and running so fast.
I just want to say I love the friendly "competition" between you guys. It just results in better and better products. I have both and I use them equally. Great work on Mlem, and thanks for opening up the beta signup when I asked a couple of days ago. lol

Connect go brrr
Is like Linux distros.
Is this IOS only?
If you want a good Android Lemmy client app, get Connect.
It blows Jerboa and liftoff out of the water.
It's even getting updates once or twice a week!
Was like "oh cool, gonna try this connect app', only to realize I was reading this comment on Connect. So many apps, man.
Jokes aside I'm loving that there's so many different clients.

No clue about memmy but WefWef aka Voyager is also available on android (as a Web app).

This is me, and I’m cool with it! I like jumping into both on a daily basis to see how each progresses.
Meh, you sure can.
I have memmy and still prefer wefwef
