Asklemmy

I like Mlem because it's a native iOS app developed in Swift and SwiftUI for everyone to be performant, beautiful, and accessible!

But I'm on the Mlem Team, so maybe I'm a bit biased :P

Follow updates here: Mlem App for Lemmy

I use Memmy and I love it, although it is still in Beta release and may not be able to join the beta. The dev is super good at improving it and fixing bugs

There are a bunch of options each with their pros and cons, here’s what I’ve found so far:

Mlem

• Feels very Apollo like with things like slide to upvote and reply
• Doesn’t seem to be able to handle inline images and media (so you sometimes miss post information)
• Switching to new communities is not intuitive (you have to click the community name and type with the “Subscribed” toggle pane open)
• No guides on how Markdown works
• No message inbox

Memmy

• Has an inbox (not something I’ve seen from the others)
• Has Apollo like slide interactions
• Easy to find and switch communities
• Text is a little too small
• Found a couple of visual bugs (obviously this is all very beta!)

Liftoff

• Seems to show all the post information you could want (community it was posted too, which community that user is part of, etc)
• Feels a little bit like the official reddit app
• No Apollo like slide interactions
• Some interesting choices when trying to find communities (showing the full sidebar)
• Colours are a little constrasty
• A couple of UI bugs
• I don’t love the rounded corners on everything out of the box

Thunder

• Pretty polished
• Slide interactions are great
• Nice Markdown editor
• Not found any graphical bugs
• Some UI elements (subbing / unsubbing from a community) aren’t always clear
• Written in flutter so may not give a true “native” experience

Personally I think I’m gonna stick with Thunder for a bit, but I’m swapping daily at this point.

Given that any development on these really only kicked into gear in the last few weeks everything these devs are doing is incredible, they’ve all come a long way in such a short time!

Just want to add my two cents here - https://wefwef.app is absolutely fantastic on both Android and iPhone and it's a PWA. It's better than any other client I have used (I have used most if not all available rn)

Currently using Mlem and Memmy, but been finding myself using Memmy more often. I prefer the brown theme over the completely black/dark theme. Still some quirks to fix but the UI reminds me of Apollo so far.

Excited to try out Artemis since I also have a kbin.social account.

I’m using Memmy and Mlem. So far I’m liking Memmy a bit better because I think it has more features (though part of that is likely just me being an idiot and missing things in plain sight). I feel like Memmy is easier to navigate, and it displays useful post/comment information better. That said, there are definitely a few things that make more sense on Mlem. I also really like how close Mlem is to Apollo. Right now, they’re both fairly buggy in their own ways (Mlem more than Memmy), so I just use whichever one has the feature I need at the time.

Imo, Memmy is fantastic.

Wefwef (https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef) is worth a look. It’s a PWA that is very similar to Apollo in looks. Pretty amazing what’s been done in a PWA

Using Mlem. Ilike it so far, but I'm new to Lemmy and everything.

Liftoff is really good http://lemmy.world/c/liftoff

I’m loving Memmy. Mlem is also very good

I am currently using a PWA of discuss.tchncs.de because they have a sort by top of the hour, six hours, and 12 hours, which is awesome

I am alternating between Mlem[0] and wefwef[1] as I want to fill the void that Apollo has left.

I use Mlem for the fluidity (though it still has a lot of stuttering, but really good for a pre-release) and interactions (e.g., swipe to previous screen, vibrations).

I use wefwef for its support for messages and closer UI parity to Apollo.

Having said that, I am open to using a better/alternative UX and will start experimenting when these apps have their releases on the App Store.

I’m using Memmy more than Mlem as I like the look and gestures better plus the “me” and “OP” tags are an improvement over Apollo’s (which is saying something). I’ve been contributing to the github on missing features. Also added the wefwef PWA as it’s messaging is good (Memmy’s isn’t complete yet). Although, Liftoff’s is feature complete from what I can tell.

The speed at which Lemmy clients have been developed is insane. Very impressed with the communities at work.

So far, I’ve tried Mlem, Memmy and Limbo.

I am liking Memmy the best!
