Really wish Christian would bring Apollo to Lemmy in the same fashion
Maybe he's not saying anything but then will drop a fully polished app out of nowhere like that Beyoncé album
My god I wish. But I will say, congrats to Mlem and to Memmy, for pushing out two apollo-esque apps in the spirit of it all
Working on Mlem has been super fun and educational!
FOSS ftw
In one interview he said he was exhausted from this ordeal and that he just doesn't have the energy to rewrite Apollo to Lemmy.
And he deserves a long vacation after all the shit that has happened to him. I'd even understand if he'd go low profile from this point on.
The character assassination Steve Huffman unleashed on him would make a lesser man just want to disappear (online).
Memmy is already shaping up as a great client. Already very full featured. And with how fast the dev is updating, it’ll be awesome.
For real. I can't believe how much progress Memmy has made. I literally put it where my ReddPlanet icon was on my home screen.
Here is a list of Apps coming to Lemmy:

Plenty for iOS to chose from, Christian’s legacy continues. Memmy and Mlem both feel pretty close to Apollo - and are both directly inspired by it.
These apps are in early beta. They have constant updates (daily for Memmy and weekly for Mlem), so you can kind of see them being built in real time. If you’re patient with the developers, you’ll get that Apollo experience very soon. It’s like 80% of the way there.
Liftoff is pretty cool too, though it’s a different design approach.
(I’m using Memmy now, actually.)
Great summary!
Memmy mafia represent!
At least we'll have Memmy and Artemis
Wefwef is PWA but is the closest I have found to Apollo so far.
