For this who aren’t aware, Memmy for lemmy is now available in the app store [iOS]

❤️‍🔥 🎇 It’s finally here! And it will live on my home screen just like Apollo used to do. 🔥 ❤️‍🔥

Just spreading this news in case you’re like me and late to the good news :)

No link?

App link here, since OP didn’t deliver 😉 : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memmy-for-lemmy/id6450204299

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

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.

I think the Apple App Store mostly sorts by popularity and they use reviews, some mixture of the quantity and star rating, to decide that popularity amount.

Anyway, ignoring the obnoxious Apple-inserted banner ad (🙄) typing in “lemmy” or “memmy” bring up the correct app for me now. I had the .ipa sideloaded previously, but yesterday typing in lemmy brought up some other completely unrelated (not lemmy) app came up and memmy I think didn’t work at all. Seems ok now though since most people will go to the App Store and type lemmy.

Fantastic app, really puts Reddit to shame. Maybe if they didn’t spend all their efforts trying to add trackers and shit they would have a decent app

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

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

I also though that, but I’m on wefwef so that didn’t make any sense

Any phone should be able to do this. The first thing my Android does after taking a screen shot is ask me if I want to crop.

Hell, at least on my Motorola, you can set it so triggering a screenshot gives you a transparent, resizable selection box so you only capture the part of the screen you want to capture without having to crop afterwards.

I wonder how much Tencent will pay per post like this

I wonder what they’d pay for the Reddit equivalent

One more step in the right direction.

A giant leap for the fediverse. :)

Now I just need to learn how to use Lemmy

You better start believein’ in using Lemmy…

You’re doing it.

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

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

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.

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.

It’s hard to tell until suddenly your phone is out of battery.

Memmy is just a webapp with extra steps though.

The extra step is that it doesn’t run through Safari.

It’s literally not lol

There was a really annoying issue with wefwef for me - Swiping back to the Home Screen would result in a brief couple seconds of lag before I could scroll again. Apart from that I’d agree that is was great.

But this Memmy app is a lot better in that regard 👌

Interestingly enough, I am actually also getting this intermittently on Memmy after just switching.

Ah that’s annoying! Can’t be near as bad as I haven’t seen it myself.

Hope it’s something that can be resolved.

I had the same experience with wefwef which led me to try out Memmy. Memmy is much more seamless and feels more like a fully functional app.

It’s so frustrating, because this is an iOS bug, and not an inherent problem with wefwef. Hoping they can find a workaround though!

I had a similar problem, but it went away when I added wefwef to my Home Screen. It seems to handle swipes differently and is much smoother when swiping back.

Feels very close to a native app after adding to the Home Screen.

I bounce back and forth between WefWef and Memmy and I think they are both great in their own way.

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.

Quick question- what specifically were you looking to export from Apollo over to WefWef? I tried exporting the .json file from Apollo over to WefWef following the instructions and it basically was just a list of my subscribed communities and allowed me to search for similar communities on here (most of which were pretty niche and therefor not on here yet. Totally understandable.) Is there something else I’m missing?

That’s what I was looking for, yeah. Part of it was that I was subscribed to language learning communities (and memes in the target language: the shared language of memes provides a lot of context!) which can be named a large variety of things, so I’d be back at square one and searching for things manually.

It’s not the worst thing to be back to basics, because it forces me to explore and learn about the Fediverse, but there’s always going to be that nagging “did I get everything out of the old apartment” feeling as I drop off the key.

I love wefwef but I actually prefer this now!

Wefwef is fast but it’s a web app, not a native one. It feels snappy and fast though.

Only reason I’m not on Wefwef anymore is because of the lack of haptics. Getting haptic feedback on votes and swipes is just too good, imo.

True. That’s the same reason I switched to memmy

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)

Thank you! I wish the app made this clearer. But I’ll be referring to this comment until I develop some muscle memory.

The only gesture it still needs is swiping a comment right to left to collapse the entire comment thread

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
