I’m using memmy on iOS, it’s still on TestFlight: https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy (click on “join the group”)
Memmy’s on the App Store now. It does still have a TestFlight if there are any spots available but the app store’s version is currently up to date.
Thanks, I didn’t know that 😃
Been real happy with Memmy. It’s getting closer to Apollo every day
Yeah just a few things different but overall the aesthetic is very pleasing. Took forever for me to figure out how to mark a comment as “read” to get rid of the badges (slide left).
I also really love the ability to pick a hex code for the accent color.
Working pretty decent already. I would absolutely love an optimized layout option for the iPad however.
I haven’t tried it on my iPad yet but that would be great
It does work it just has the same problem Apollo had that it just isn’t optimized … I really liked the way alienblue or narwhal looked on the iPad because it just used the extra space better instead of feeling like a scaled up phone.
On a side note … Reddit really expected all third party users to switch to their shitty app when it doesn’t have Tablet support after how many years?
Theres also an official release in the app store if you don’t want test flight version.
!memmy@lemmy.ml kicks ass 💯
Another +1 for Memmy. It has been my Apollo replacement.
I have both Memmy and Mlem and I switch between them every time one releases an update to see who’s better.
I’ve tried Mlem on and off, but Memmy and Voyager run circles around it in functionality. I’m sure the developer drama didn’t help anything either. I do hope Mlem catches up, because more options are never a bad thing.
Wait, there was developer drama? I just saw a comment from the Mlem dev yesterday thanking the Memmy dev for helping with getting their app through some testflight issues.
Yes, first, the founder of the project suddenly left with no warning, and then the guy who took over locked everybody out shortly after that. The remaining developers had to jump through hoops so they could resume development of the app.
browser on pc, app on phone
I use Native Alpha to avoid apps on mobile
Edit: misspelling
Nah, apps are better. There aren’t any ads in the Lemmy apps I have installed on iOS, so uBlock Origin is irrelevant.
The UI is much better on apps in general.
Memmy on iOS is amazing and much better than using any browser.
Jerboa on Android is pretty solid imo
Try connect as well, made the switch yesterday and already loving the new features
Happy with Jerboa so far. Excited for Sync to come back as a Lemmy app.
Liftoff is a better app experience than I ever had using any options for Reddit. It’s fanatastic. It’s far, far better than a browser experience as well.
Liftoff is my daily driver, Voyager is also great. It’s awesome how many open source Lemmy apps are in active development right now.
it’s really great. I’m using connect on android, because it’s similar to RIF. But the beautiful thing is we have choice. I really hope you enjoy your lemmy experience on whatever app makes you happy.
Sync is still my favorite app for Reddit. And now I’m waiting Sync for lemmy.
In the meantime I’ll be using liftoff. Seem like it’s pretty close to sync, but no as good as sync.
I grabbed liftoff after reading about the early access when using web interface. I’m sure it is missing some features, but it does “just work”, so I’m pretty happy with it.
Connect is at a stage where it could rival those now defunct mature 3PA Reddit apps
Using connect here too. Really enjoy using it.
The amount of features is insane! Mark as read on scroll, blocking instances, etc are super useful!
Amen! Very happy with the app too :)
It has been fixed in v0.97
My only gripe is pinch zooming in on images/moving the image around backs me out of the image
What? No. Lemmy web is clunky. Try an app bruh.
I’ve tried Browser and also Apps, Lemmy feels better via apps imo
Connect, feels closes to boost. Until we have boost
It will come out. It’s currently available to pre-register.
When your Phones 1.5GB of RAM are always 1.3GB full and your CPU almost always at 100%, because you are running Android 11 (LineageOS) on a Phone from almost 10 years ago, then Jerboa starts to be quite a bit faster than Fennec (especially with uBlock0)
I use wefwef.app/Voyager on FF. I don’t believe ublock does anything though since its not an Ad based service
Ublock will let you block just about anything, for instance if you’re seeing too many posts from a specific instance ex: @leddit.danmark.party, this filter will block the entire instance lemmy.world##.post-listing:has-text(@leddit.danmark.party)

Can’t save comments so replying to save this
If you click the 3 vertical dots, it should expand to reveal a star-icon option that’ll allow you to save the comment. To view saved comments, click on your username in the upper right, then profile. There should be a ‘Saved’ tab
One other helpful snippet that’ll let you filter out posts that link to wsj, twitter, youtube, etc… lemmy.world##a[href*=“wsj.com”]
I’m no ublock expert, but I’ve mostly tested these filters, so ymmv. If you run into any issues or need to tweak a filter please follow up so we can all share 😀
Ironic. Apps let you save comments lol
Ah thunder does let me save comments
I’m using Memmy and I don’t see how to save them
Maybe that app hasn’t included it. Connect for Lemmy has it, though.
uBlock Origin doesn’t do anything in this case, but it’s more of a general statement of my browsing setup
I’m using ublock to block large media elements when I’m running low on data :)
The m.lemmy.world and vger.app links also work
I’ve been switching between those two as well. Theres a couple features I prefer on wefwef but in general the memmy app seems smoother
On mobile, I tried FFox and Chrome… Worked like garbage. I switched to Connect and I am happy now.
What exactly is the problem with browser. Do people just have a high expectation of a platform, or am I just too used to the browser experience?
I think it may be down to the UI, for example I preferred Relay for Reddit over the other offerings because the UI just felt more natural to me and that of course always going to be down to the individual user
Give wefwef.app a try in your mobile browser.
The stock interface is garbage though. Need them apps to streamline the experience.
It’s pretty damn excellent for a stock UI, and blows reddit out of the water. With that said I use Jerboa
I use Voyager and old.lemmy
Reddit webui is a really low bar though
I’m also impressed with Jerboa.
That’s why I used RES
Does Lemmy have RES? Is it called RES (lol)?
My personal preference is to use (preferably FLOSS) apps whenever possible. I just don’t like the experience of a browser trying to act like a native application. This goes for desktop and mobile.
It’ll never happen, but if there were a desktop lemmy app I would use it.
I know I’m (probably?) weird.
I just installed the lemmy instance that I use as a “web app” via my browser on PC so it just acts like an app.
When I used the web version of Lemmy, I wasn’t able to find the subscribe button for communities.
You tap the “side bar” text to expand it and you have a subscribe button.
The best UX doesn’t need to be explained
