What I said in the title. This is the first Lemmy app that gives me Apollo vibes when I use it. The new themes are just chef’s kiss. Phenomenal work! It’s not Apollo yet, but this is the app that gets me thinking that Lemmy could be a long term thing for me. Well done!!
Share screenshots of Memmy on the Apollo subreddit saying how fast it’s being developed and how heavily inspired by Apollo it is.
This and Sync for Lemmy can get tons of users if people spread the word.
It’s not even available on Google Play app store yet. Giving the Reddit community an impression of further hurdles they need to jump in order to transition to the Fediverse would probably give them even more confirmation bias on their view that it is “too messy” to become the next Reddit.
On a side note, Jerboa in “List” mode is starting to feel like Relay for Reddit, all I miss is the option for thumbnails on the left, and default auto-collapsed view of deep comment hierarchies (with visual color guidance of which level a given expanded comment is at) to avoid scrolling for the next top level comment.
Most people on those subs are familiar with how apps work; you’d just need to mention that it’s in development and will be in the appstore later.
This is the only time this will work. Alot of people will move on to the official app after the good ones are actually gone.
Posted about Lemmy in r/redditsync and it was mostly postively received. Would do the same in r/Apollo for Memmy if I was on iOS cuz people there are even more pissed about it shutting down.
