As a fellow iOS user, Memmy is pretty sweet for a version 0.0 beta app.
Really enjoying Memmy too! Dev seems to be moving at a quick pace. The app is already functional and getting better each day
Yea I’m digging Memmy too!
How do you get it on your phone?
Download Testflight then find the magic link to join the beta.
Would you like a more ‘Material’ lemmy app on iOS??
No
Yea it’s definitely a good start!
Yeah I’ve been enjoying Memmy. Considering how early it is, it works really well.
How have I not found this!?
I wanted to check out Mlem, but it’s full. Lemur I think is discontinued. There is one that’s coming called Artemis, but that’s not available yet.
Memmy is honestly just what I was looking for. Cheers!
I’ve been testing both and I definitely prefer Memmy overall. Mlem has better image display options and has search. Memmy doesn’t display images unless you tap on the post. Search should be released in the next day or two, though.
Artemis being an Apollo clone had me very excited, though.
Edit: new app just released on TestFlight showing real promise: Limbo
You are able to login with a kbin acc on it?
Im using jerboa and it looks great!
I’m not a iOS user lol, will never be iPhone or iOS, so I don’t even know about these apps you guys are talking about… But I just wanna say you guys are welcome to the Fediverse :-)
This is exactly why I never pick iphones, because a good chunk of the time you miss out on all the niche things you can do on a smartphone.
I never pic up an iPhone because Mac discontinued support for my $6000 editing computer within two years when they scrapped the mac towers and went laptop only.
Which one was that?
2011 Mac Pro, which was discontinued in 2012, while support for the design was fully discontinued in 2013, when mac decided it would completely change everything and focus on the trash can design.
I get upgrading and whatever the fuck, but this was supposed to be an upgradeable machine, like a user built pc, but then they just fucking dumped support within 2 years, which should be fucking criminal considering its outrageous price.
Lol we still have these an my company.
It doesn’t make my life as a network engineer hell at all, having to figure out how to make decade old technology fit into a fiber network in a windows environment.
They fit pretty well in the storage closet until the companies life cycle replacement sees them replaced with Windows machines.
You guys are getting new devices?
Hopefully sideloading will come soon and open up some of the potential on iOS (I say this as an android user)
Been using sync (paid) for over 10 years, will instantly buy a Lemmy version
I’ve never used sync, what makes it compelling?
For me, it was the swipe quick actions, true black dark theme, and how the comments were nested.
It just felt right 12 years ago, I’ll insta buy again
Feature rich. Basically whatever way you want to view Reddit, it has it. It also played videos much better for me than the official app. Very customizable and great ease of use.
You already have like 3 apps. We have jerboa. Jerboa.
Actually, a new Android client called Thunder has entered Alpha. It’s SEVERELY lacking in features as of now, though.
I like Flutter based apps, so that makes me happy. I saw it a couple of days ago and while it is lacking in features, it does feel nice to use and looks much better than Jerboa IMO.
There is also summit and connect
could you give a link for connect?
And Jerboa probably won’t be updated for a while with the devs so busy working on Lemmy.
Is jerboa first party?
It’s made by the main Lemmy developer, but it’s his personal project and not the official Lemmy android client. He’s been making some controversial commits on Jerboa in the past on the basis that it’s his personal project, so he can do as he please (unlike Lemmy which is funded by a foundation).
Can you elaborate on the “controversial commits”? I’m on iOS so haven’t been following anything on the Android side
It’s nice that we can have all these choices for 3rd party clients that won’t end up getting screwed over due to a central authority.
Time to join us Android bros
Please let that also be a Lemmy instance, Lemmy needs horizontal distributed scaling.
This is how I’ve been thinking Lemmy can scale. Sync can host their own instance funded by premium subscribers. In other cases, a group of friends with common local interests can host an instance with their local channels plus caching posts on other instances, and peoppe could connect to that or lemmy.world for free and see the same content.
Man, I love sync and can’t wait to continue using it.
SHIT. THIS IS AWESOME !!!
Happy for Android users, but for those that don’t know, on iOS, we have three apps in beta we can download, and all three are very good with the current state they are in. I suggest giving anyone of them a try.

Thank you! mlem beta is full but was able to get into the others.
I mean sync had and iOS version so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
The iOS version was handled by a different developer altogether. LJ has never done work for iOS himself.
The official community is on Lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
There’s also a subreddit r/syncforlemmy
I dare say he’ll be wanting to get out a functional app before implementing things like support for Kbin. Bjt it’s worth requesting it as the more who, perhaps the more priority it will get.
Just waiting for Christian to announce he’s rewriting Apollo…
Same! I hope he’s considering it… Lemmy + Apollo would make it 1000x more attractive for Reddit users to enjoy Reddit without the management team’s constant fuckery.
Man the ad for lemmy if he announced it with a pop up on Apollo reddit opening
That would make spez so incredibly angry. And then promoting it on reddit in his subreddit and then people posting it to the apple sub would make me not surprised if he banned Apollo sub out of anger.
After everything that happened, let the man enjoy his forced vacation for like a year before going back into the fray.
Fingers crossed for Relay for Lemmy
This is the one I want to see. Here’s hoping.
Any idea if there’s a chance that the app will be open-source?
Praise be.
I always used RIF for reddit but I’ll definitely give Sync a try if this actually ends up happening
Fwiw, the dev for RIF has announced they’re going to be making an app for Tildes.
It’s unfortunate that tildes is invite-only. I also secretly wish they would federate their website with us somehow, but I guess we can’t have everything. :p
I have an account and honestly you’re not missing much. I tried to use it in place of Reddit and it’s severely lacking.
