Highly recommend checking out wefwef - closest option to an Apollo clone as I've seen so far in terms of UI and functionality, and doesn't even need to be installed. Memmy is a very good second place option, but I've been using wefwef since I heard about it yesterday and ZI think it's better.
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.
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.
I started with Mlem and wasn’t a huge fan and was primarily using Memmy. But I decided to try mlem again as it’s been a while and it looks much better! Might be my new daily driver. I’ll give wefwef a try too.
Yeah like a week after I joined they completely changed the display, and it’s been my heavy hitter. Wefwef feels like I never left Apollo though.
Using it right now. So far it's nice. But I have like 7 plus the browser. See which becomes my default in time. I am just so used to RIF it's going take an adjustment.
I'm keeping Apollo on my phone for the memories 😢
I started using jerboa cause of a random suggestion, how does everyone feel about it? I noticed it doesnt collect user data and I think it said it encrypts stuff, which I like for privacy
I've only started using it, but I'm liking it alright. That being said, I'm going to use Sync as soon as it's available.
🤌
Memmy has seriously improved over the past two weeks, it’s development has been extremely fast and I’m very impressed with my limited casual use so far.
I am enjoying memmy
Same
The dev has done very well for such early releases.
FYI, Memmy was JUST submitted to the AppStore at 8am yesterday. It’s waiting on review. 🤞
Which clients?
Memmy + Mlem
Which is better?
Feature wise definitely Memmy, looks-wise Mlem
Memmy is on fire development-wise. Lots of updates.

I’ve got 5
I just need to figure out how to add more “subreddits” or whatever they are called and how to switch between them but other than that this app feels great so far. Fuck Spez. Currently using Memmy
the apollo - memmy pipeline is real
Its not as polished as Apollo but years of development will do that for you.
I noticed at one point in the side swipe upvote the down vote and upvote waw pointing down just the color was changing
I wonder if Christian can reuse Apollo as a Lemmy client and keep the project going
It’s wild seeing the difference in number of votes and comments today compared to the last week or so since I signed up.
Apollo is more like the wife who was murdered by Reddit, now watching you from heaven, hoping that you find a new social media platform to make you happy.
