❤️‍🔥 🎇 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 :)

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!

kbin is federated with lemmy (and mastadon) but it is actually its own software with its own (unfinished) API.

In case someone from Android wanders in looking for suggestions, I would highly recommend liftoff. I've been using it for a couple of days and it's really fluid and responsive.

I have also been using it the past week or so. Works pretty well and UI is good and intuitive.

Loving the app competition. Mlem is coming along really nice as well. I truly wish Lemmy takes over Reddit.

If I’m on the TestFlight is it important to switch?

Edit: question answered

Is there an Android version available?

So I just found out about lemmy today and tried to search for it on the App Store, and apparently it’s only been released these days? Damn

Anyways, does anyone know why the app doesn’t let you upvote or comment?

This is awesome I love the testflight version of the app. It gives me a reddit like experience. I ended up settling on WefWef as my Lemmy app but Memmy is still really great.

I am guessing this is the Apollo equivalent? Do we know anything about an Infinity for Lemmy?

This was fast. Shoutout to everyone involved!

Just got it as a BaconReader refugee. Loving it so far.

[–] ShadedCosmos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This is HUGE.

Just found it abouf 20 min and been scrolling through. It's pretty nice, but on dark mode at least it's really hard to tell the difference between where one post ends and another begins. Also, haven't checked, but a compact mode would DC be great too.

[–] SeaOtter@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Compact is available :)

Settings -> Content -> toggle Compact View.

I thought it was missing at first because it wasn’t in the Appearance section of the Settings.

When is it coming to Android?

[–] QuestioningEspecialy@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

According to its GitHub page, it's made for Android aswell, but there's no download for some reason. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[–] ebits21@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I think they were aiming for iOS first but will be coming in the future.

Programmed in Expo (JavaScript) which is cross platform.
