This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
❤️🔥 🎇 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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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 👌
One more step in the right direction.
A giant leap for the fediverse. :)
Memmy is fantastic and exactly what Lemmy needs to become more popular. Using Lemmy.world etc on a browser on iOS just didn’t want to work for me, the login button wouldn’t work on any browser.
The GitHub mentions Android support. How do we get this?
well it's a React app (booo), so all the author (or anyone willing to make a PR) needs to do is update the build pipeline to compile an APK and create a GitHub release for it if they don't want a Play Store presence.
angry android noises
We've got a bajillion of them, and unlike iOS, you didn't need to wait for it to hit the Apple Store.
Try: Jerboa, Liftoff, Connect, Summit, Thunder, wefwef, etc.
Sync is coming next month too.
Im excited about all the apps but to be honest i hate the names of most of them. Mlem, wefwef, memmy. Idk the overly cute name makes me think of dudes who owo in people's DMs
I love the WefWef app but hate every time I have to type that ridiculous name out. There’s absolutely zero chance I will ever say that horrible name aloud to people either.
Apollo was an awesome name. WW, opposite.
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!
I am guessing this is the Apollo equivalent? Do we know anything about an Infinity for Lemmy?
What's better wefwef or memmy?
That’s subjective. Wefwef is trying to clone Apollo for Reddit. It’s cross platform since it’s a PWA. Memmy is iOS only and seems to have more settings right now. If you’re used to Apollo give wefwef a shot!
I'm using both. On paper I like Memmy more, but it's missing a couple of features present in Wefwef:
Landscape mode.
A way to display inline pics. If you're a Memmy user wondering why sometimes you see comments without text or anything, that's why. You're not seeing a pic.
But if Memmy had these two things, I don't think I'd be using Wefwef much.
