Sorry didn’t include a link since it’s on the app store. Thanks for providing one.

[–] bighi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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.

OP you’re on an iPhone. Next time crop the photo in the Photos app to remove the ad for PUBG…

[–] onparole@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I thought my Lemmy app was displaying ads and almost deleted it.

I prefer WefWef but still: this can only be a good thing for Lemmy. Glad this is out!

[–] Pyon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (8 children)

WefWef UI is great, just wish it wasn’t a web app

[–] EmilyInept@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] ryno364@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

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.

Is there an Android version available?

[–] ThatBaldFella@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (6 children)

No, but there are plenty of Android apps available. Personally, I'd recommend Liftoff (and Boost when it's released).

This was fast. Shoutout to everyone involved!

[–] EbonyEarl@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am guessing this is the Apollo equivalent? Do we know anything about an Infinity for Lemmy?

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.

[–] Frostwolf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 ❤️‍🔥

Thanks a lot. I’ll be looking into contributing to the app too

[–] rclkrtrzckr@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OMG, your screenshot made me believe lemmy got its first ad (pubg).

[–] Frostwolf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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)

One more step in the right direction.

[–] Frostwolf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

A giant leap for the fediverse. :)

[–] theagiledev@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Cool! How good is this app? I’ve just been using wefwef

[–] DarkWasp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It’s fairly similar to Apollo in many ways and it’s nice having an app to use. I like wefwef for similar reasons but currently it’s a web app only (still is right?) might be worth checking out to see if you like it, was as easy as logging in to get going.

[–] margaritox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What do I put for "server"?

[–] ThatBaldFella@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The instance you're registered to, so lemmy.world in your case.

Just seeing this on my newly downloaded memmy app. Good i feel like Patrick Bateman reviewing business cards. It’s very well polished.
