This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
❤️🔥 🎇 It’s finally here! And it will live on my home screen just like Apollo used to do. 🔥 ❤️🔥
Just spreading this news in case you’re like me and late to the good news :)
No link?
App link here, since OP didn't deliver 😉 : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memmy-for-lemmy/id6450204299
Sorry didn’t include a link since it’s on the app store. Thanks for providing one.
Unfortunately, searching for apps in the app store is not easy. I tried searching for "memmy" and didn't find it. I had to use the full name.
I think the Apple App Store mostly sorts by popularity and they use reviews, some mixture of the quantity and star rating, to decide that popularity amount.
Anyway, ignoring the obnoxious Apple-inserted banner ad (🙄) typing in “lemmy” or “memmy” bring up the correct app for me now. I had the .ipa sideloaded previously, but yesterday typing in lemmy brought up some other completely unrelated (not lemmy) app came up and memmy I think didn’t work at all. Seems ok now though since most people will go to the App Store and type lemmy.
OP you’re on an iPhone. Next time crop the photo in the Photos app to remove the ad for PUBG…
I thought my Lemmy app was displaying ads and almost deleted it.
Any phone should be able to do this. The first thing my Android does after taking a screen shot is ask me if I want to crop.
One more step in the right direction.
A giant leap for the fediverse. :)
Now I just need to learn how to use Lemmy
You better start believein’ in using Lemmy…
You’re doing it.
I prefer WefWef but still: this can only be a good thing for Lemmy. Glad this is out!
WefWef UI is great, just wish it wasn’t a web app
Honestly it’s hard to tell. Even on my old iPhone X it’s pretty seamless. I wish Apple and Android would give PWA apps more feature support overall tbh.
It’s definitely not as responsive and has a slightly laggy feel to it. I mean it looks and runs great for a webapp. But it just isn’t as good as a native app.
There was a really annoying issue with wefwef for me - Swiping back to the Home Screen would result in a brief couple seconds of lag before I could scroll again. Apart from that I’d agree that is was great.
But this Memmy app is a lot better in that regard 👌
I bounce back and forth between WefWef and Memmy and I think they are both great in their own way.
Wefwef feels like Apollo in a stable beta version: it doesn’t have everything I’m used to (blocking communities from the main feed is a big one) but everything is in the right place. Pity I only got it after Apollo went down, since I can’t get my data from Apollo now.
I’m just trying Lemmy (writing this comment on it) and it’s still rather light but thankfully speedier than on a browser.
I figure I’ll bounce between them for a bit and see which one starts to gain more usage and features. But yes, it’s good that there are more options available.
For those unaware, you swipe to access voting/reply on comments, swipe from left to right on a comment to get to the up/down vote and swipe right to left to reply.
On your inbox, you can mark replies “read” by far swiping right to left.
You can also swipe to go back to your feed back swiping left to right starting from the edge of the post.
Lastly you can access settings by clicking the “gear” icon in your profile screen (top right)
angry android noises
Try: Jerboa, Liftoff, Connect, Summit, Thunder, wefwef, etc.
Sync is coming next month too.
We've got a bajillion of them, and unlike iOS, you didn't need to wait for it to hit the Apple Store.
boost for reddit dev looks like they released a boost for lemmy
It's been announced that it's coming, but it's not released yet. I'm not sure if there's an expected release date
Im excited about all the apps but to be honest i hate the names of most of them. Mlem, wefwef, memmy. Idk the overly cute name makes me think of dudes who owo in people's DMs
I love the WefWef app but hate every time I have to type that ridiculous name out. There’s absolutely zero chance I will ever say that horrible name aloud to people either.
Apollo was an awesome name. WW, opposite.
The dev did so much work in the last few weeks. It's amazing how quickly this app became good.
Me viewing this post on Memmy
Very clean. I like it a lot.
Why does the app need to collect the Device ID and link it to me?
Memmy is fantastic and exactly what Lemmy needs to become more popular. Using Lemmy.world etc on a browser on iOS just didn’t want to work for me, the login button wouldn’t work on any browser.
Having lots of errors signing into various accounts when I was trying to find what server to call home... got my lemmy.world account and beehaw to work, but no luck with kbin.social...
Other than that, works pretty well. Obviously a long way off the gloriousness of Apollo, but not so far off that I'd rather stick with a web shortcut. Seeing a lot of image previews turned into 🔗 instead of showing thumbs, and so many sites now rejecting access due to the use of a VPN... but that's more a web problem than a Memmy prob I suppose.
Feature-request-wise, it would also be nice to see a more customizable feed that could hook into any combination of my various accounts with a tier-style prioritization on which account to load a subscription when a particular subscription exists across those accounts.
Exciting times either way!
