As others have said, you should check out Avelon. It’s my favorite Lemmy app after ours

Mostly the stuff with lemmy.world banning the piracy community. (FWIW I think they have every right to ban whatever community they want on their server)

Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update on the status of Memmy development since things have been slow recently.

Don't worry, we haven't just abandoned Memmy! There are a few reasons we haven't really had many updates or progress recently. gk and I have both been a little burnt out after doing so much before. We didn't really pace ourselves very well I think, so recently we've been taking a break. I've been addicted to Baldurs Gate 3 and gk is trying to get out of Gold Nova in CSGO 😏. Additionally, there was a lot of drama recently on lemmy that kind of left a sour taste in our mouths and has just led us to not using lemmy as much recently.

But don't worry, we are still developing. We are actually working on a rewrite of the app, since we both were rather new to React Native when starting this, and have learned a lot of do's and don'ts. We're also planning on having Android support in the rewrite.

We appreciate the patience and support, thank you to all our users!

I’m trying to make the link clickable area bigger to avoid this problem in general with posts and comments. So that should partially resolve it. Maybe we can also add an option to disable collapsing posts

Copying a previous comment:

It’s been on our todo list but we have been a little burnt out from Memmy development and lemmy in general so things have been slow. Plus I’ve been addicted to baldurs gate.

It’s been on our todo list but we have been a little burnt out from Memmy development and lemmy in general so things have been slow. Plus I’ve been addicted to baldurs gate. We have a ticket for it in github

Also since most other people aren’t using encrypted email, you kinda don’t really benefit from the Proton encryption afaik. I personally don’t understand the point.

Yea gotchya, that’s just an issue with images in general I’m dealing with. I have improved it some for the next build but it’s not perfect yet… i think this issue with the emojis would be significantly improved though. But since they’re just images, we can’t really handle them much differently or support them a certain way

Dragon age 2 was insanely fun to me, i definitely played it more than origins. (Im aware I’m not in the majority with that) I thought the combat was so fun and i loved doing different play throughs with different builds in that game

Hi everyone,

We are aware that the TestFlight version is pretty unstable at the moment, with a lot of bugs and crashing. This is because we are in the middle of rewriting our entire state management. We appreciate the testers who let us know what issues there, are but please be respectful when doing so.

If you don't wish to deal with the current instability of the TestFlight version, please download the App Store version as that is meant to be stable. When using TestFlight, you get all the latest features, but that also means you get the latest bugs too :D

As another reminder, creating bug reports in GitHub is still the best way to have your issue addressed.

Thank you to everyone who helps us test Memmy!

It's not like electron or something. Sure metro works similarly to webpack, but it's not the same basic web technologies as wefwef. RN runs on threads on your device, a main thread, js thread and shadow thread. The js thread talks to the main thread through a bridge. React Native allows us to work and interface with native APIs with the device, while PWAs does not do that. PWAs don't do that on your phone, it's just like running on Safari really. While the code itself isn't "native" we end up with native components through the bridge. (If all of RN was just a webview then it would be more like how you're describing.)

The way RN works is fundamentally different than React, despite the syntax looking similar and RN being written in JS. It's not like its just React bundled up into a mobile app. I often wish they hadn't named it React Native for this reason, and for having to look up stuff and just getting React answers all the time lol. I am one of the Memmy devs and I am a React developer professionally. FYI this is not in any way a diss at wefwef for not being native, its super super impressive what they've done, I'm sure I could learn a lot about React from their code. Also sorry about the disjointed thoughts, I'm sure I repeated some stuff here or there lol. Hope this clarified a bit how RN works though.
