Things are getting super interesting in the Lemmiverse of apps. My TestFlight list of iOS apps.
Memmy is an early fave (posting from it now) but it reminds me so much of the Dec-Feb app development days for Mastodon. So many fun options to try out!
I have those four as well! I’m bouncing between Mlem and Memmy, both of which are impressive, especially given that they’re still under heavy development. I need to spend more time using liftoff and thunder.
The Memmy dev has been crushing it with one update a day while balancing bug fixes & quality of life updates. I have no idea when that dev sleeps or takes a break.
Mlem seems to be taking the approach of doing less frequent updates with more content. The last Mlem release had some good updates in there, so I’m glad to see the swap in lead dev didn’t distract them too much.
Same. I think they’re dropping notifications for Mlem today, which I think closes out the basic app functions. I think after that Memmy and Mlem are neck-and-neck.
I’ve now tried out Memmy, Mlem, and typing this from a recently downloaded Thunder. So far, I’m Digging Mlem since it’s been the closet to Apollo in terms of look and navigation with it’s intuitive use of swiping. Heard Artemis will be integrating something similar so looking forward to trying that as well. I do prefer Memmy’s response options over Mlem’s though. Their text formatting seems more developed.
FWIW … Memmy is the only one so far that can save images to your device. I really need this feature so I can pass memes around to the guys in the group chat at work.
I hate screenshots cuz they’re almost always lower quality than the original, larger file size and always contain all the extra garbage that’s totally unnecessary (battery level, WiFi, time etc). Having the original image/video is just so much better.
+1 here, which do you like the most? I’ve been running Memmy and currently happy with it outside of a few misc design choices (couldn’t figure out how to reply for hours rofl)
Memmy so far, but Mlem starts catching up. Memmy has more active devs tho.
I feel like Limbo is not as developed and seems to be a inspired by the „original“ reddit app. Thunder seems nice too, haven’t tried that much so far but definitely inspired by Apollo as well.
Ive been using Memmy and Mlem and both are great. I think overall Memmy feels a bit more ahead in terms of features particularly after the latest few updates. The main think I miss in Mlem is the availability to zoom in on images and in Memmy a way to change font size.
I’ve also been testing all 4 options for iOS. There’s pros and cons to each, but my favorite so far is Memmy. It’s come so far in such a short period of time and will only continue to get better.
Having so many options is such a blessing though! I’m excited to continue watching each one grow!
I'm on Android, and I'm trying liftoff, jerboa, connect, and the Lemmy app. I liked jerboa the best, but I can't say how it's latest update is until world updates its server to 18.1. Really liking Liftoff, but I do use the Lemmy app for certain things that aren't added to the others yet. I'll keep using them all for awhile, until things settle down and the devs have a chance to catch up.
I'm using liftoff, and it's nice, but I'm still waiting for my RIF clone.
Seriously, no arbitrary vacant space between elements, my kingdom for no arbitrary vacant space between elements! Let me fill my screen with text and images so I don't have to scroll as much.
I’ll hopefully be adding another one to this list in the next week or so. I made some great progress in my swift based iOS app, currently codenamed Lemming (this is going to change before release). Of course I’m taking inspiration from Apollo as I will greatly miss using the app. I’ll be sharing some more details about this project soon.
Also, if anyone has any naming suggestions, I am open to feedback. I was thinking possibly naming it Arcticas in the native territory for lemmings.
Anywho, I’ll have a community setup soon with details about the project, and a TestFlight release.
@ren Me as an Android user right now: staring towards nothingness and waiting to get at least a Lemmy app that looks good.
Is quite interesting that Mastodon has more Android apps than iOS ones, but Lemmy has more iOS apps than Android ones.
Like each one of them choose an OS to build their "community".
