Loving the app competition. Mlem is coming along really nice as well. I truly wish Lemmy takes over Reddit.

If I’m on the TestFlight is it important to switch?

Edit: question answered

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TestFlight will still receive new betas, if you don’t want to beta test new releases, just want to have latest stable release download the one from the store. Both will work just fine so you can stay on TestFlight one if you want to.

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.

So I just found out about lemmy today and tried to search for it on the App Store, and apparently it’s only been released these days? Damn

Anyways, does anyone know why the app doesn’t let you upvote or comment?

This was fast. Shoutout to everyone involved!

When is it coming to Android?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

According to its GitHub page, it's made for Android aswell, but there's no download for some reason. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I think they were aiming for iOS first but will be coming in the future.

Programmed in Expo (JavaScript) which is cross platform.

Having lots of errors signing into various accounts when I was trying to find what server to call home... got my lemmy.world account and beehaw to work, but no luck with kbin.social...

Other than that, works pretty well. Obviously a long way off the gloriousness of Apollo, but not so far off that I'd rather stick with a web shortcut. Seeing a lot of image previews turned into 🔗 instead of showing thumbs, and so many sites now rejecting access due to the use of a VPN... but that's more a web problem than a Memmy prob I suppose.

Feature-request-wise, it would also be nice to see a more customizable feed that could hook into any combination of my various accounts with a tier-style prioritization on which account to load a subscription when a particular subscription exists across those accounts.

Exciting times either way!

kbin is federated with lemmy (and mastadon) but it is actually its own software with its own (unfinished) API.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One of the Memmy devs here - We don't support kbin (they don't have an API). Did you have issues with signing into any Lemmy instances specifically?

Is there an iPad version of Memmy? I use Android for my phone, but I do have an iPad Pro that I occasionally use.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It should work for iPad (unless the dev listed it as non compatible), but that doesn't necessarily mean it's been optimized for iPad yet.

Downloaded it and I think it‘s really neat! Improved my experience instantly!
