❤️🔥 🎇 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.
I also though that, but I’m on wefwef so that didn’t make any sense
Wtf is a wefwef
That made me chuckle. Wefwef is one of the popular apps for browsing Lemmy
The old name for Voyager
And a better name for it too I reckon
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.
Hell, at least on my Motorola, you can set it so triggering a screenshot gives you a transparent, resizable selection box so you only capture the part of the screen you want to capture without having to crop afterwards.
I wonder how much Tencent will pay per post like this
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.
It’s hard to tell until suddenly your phone is out of battery.
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 👌
It’s so frustrating, because this is an iOS bug, and not an inherent problem with wefwef. Hoping they can find a workaround though!
I had the same experience with wefwef which led me to try out Memmy. Memmy is much more seamless and feels more like a fully functional app.
I had a similar problem, but it went away when I added wefwef to my Home Screen. It seems to handle swipes differently and is much smoother when swiping back.
Feels very close to a native app after adding to the Home Screen.
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.
I love wefwef but I actually prefer this now!
I bounce back and forth between WefWef and Memmy and I think they are both great in their own way.
Only reason I’m not on Wefwef anymore is because of the lack of haptics. Getting haptic feedback on votes and swipes is just too good, imo.
I am guessing this is the Apollo equivalent? Do we know anything about an Infinity for Lemmy?
I’m using an app called ‘Liftoff for lemmy’. It has been good so far. I’m not sure if it has all the features found in infinity tho.
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)
The only gesture it still needs is swiping a comment right to left to collapse the entire comment thread
I like the app so far, but I have noticed I have not been receiving push notifications when I get a reply etc. Also, it took my way too long to figure out how to make a post.
Try turning on email notifications. As far as I know, no ios app has push notifications for lemmy as of the present. But I could be wrong.
It works for me, but you have to enable it first in the account settings, if you haven’t done that yet.
One more step in the right direction.
A giant leap for the fediverse. :)
It’s good for reviewing and giving high marks for searchability, but right now I’m having a better time with the beta version due to the absolutely insane rate of progress the dev makes every day.
Is this open source?
Thanks a lot. I’ll be looking into contributing to the app too
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.
Wefwef is a webapp unfortunately. I believe Memmy is the first on iOS, though don’t quote me on that. I am slow when it comes to these news.
Btw, your profile pic is ❤️🔥
there is also Mlem for iOS.
What do I put for “server”?
The instance you’re registered to, so lemmy.world in your case.
Thanks! Now my subscriptions aren’t showing up in the subscriptions tab.

Is there an Android version available?
No, but there are plenty of Android apps available. Personally, I’d recommend Liftoff (and Boost when it’s released).
There’s also something called Jerboa, not sure if it’s good though
Jerboa is OK, but it has a long way to go
I started out using Jerboa, but then it started crashing. Switched to Connect which I like better and has been working well.
I can’t login with jerboa. Not sure why, but there’s no option to.
Removed by mod
Thnx! I downloaded Liftoff and I really like it :)
I am currently using a WebApp called wefwef, but I think it will soon be renamed Voyager https://vger.app/
cries into Android phone
So far connect for lemmy has been nice. Kinda reminds me of RIF
Wefwef.app
That’s what I’ve been using. It’s pretty nice! I miss “mark as read on scroll” though, and better inline gif/media support (connect just shows a “new window” icon a bunch of the time)
I feel like jerboa is closer to RiF.
Its ok we get Boost, soon hopefully
I used Boost for Reddit exclusively. Excited for the Lemmy version!
Sync for Lemmy is about 3ish weeks from beta testing. Waiting on that. Currently using Jerboa.
OMG, your screenshot made me believe lemmy got its first ad (pubg).
Sorry. I’ll replace it with a cropped image. I just don’t want complaints of an edited screenshot so I didn’t crop it at first. But I’ll do it now that I see some confusion.
