After Apollo for Reddit was wiped from the face of the earth together with most third party reddit clients, there has been an empty void as Apollo was pretty much the only social media app I used.

Downloaded and played around in Memmy for a bit and OMG this app is beautiful.

PS: Thank you so much for also being back the swipe to Upvote/Downvote feature. I discovered it on accident by muscle memory from Apollo 😏👌🏻

ALSO: Kuddos for the amazingly simple analogy of hubs and emails for the startup screen, made setting up Lemmy for the first time such a breeze 💪🏻

Thanks, if you have any feedback regarding that screen let us know.

Just downloaded and this makes me very hopeful for the future. Feels like a new home after Apollo.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Yup, the community here and now this brilliant app as a start is pretty amazing. To get something so functional already in just a couple of weeks is nothing short of great.

I wanna point out that it is also open source

https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy

…not that I will ever read the code, but it is kool

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It does exactly everything that I need it to do. I know I am a simple user, but I'm sure it will only get better from here.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

For a first time user, I was previously very optimistic to try Lemmy on the desktop but it felt so overwhelming and confusing for me - from setting up a base account and everything. Memmy dumbed it down enough for me to get started and understand how the hell Lemmy works.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Great app. All I am missing is hide read posts or posts above.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

And save comments

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you go into your lemmy account on PC or possibly in your phone's browser. Turn off 'show read posts', then Save.

Each post that you open, look at a picture or vote, will be gone. That works on the apps too, and on any logged inbrowser/computer. As a serial hider and hater of seeing the same posts, I love it.

The day Memmy gets Apollos 'scroll past' to mark actually read, and not 'app hidden', we'll be cookin'!

Yes I love Memmy so far!

Does anyone know how to sign out? I can’t see it in settings. Also dumb q but can Memmy connect to k.bin social? I made an account there, then got Memmy and made a new account here cuz I’m a lil lost lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It cannot connect a kbin account, yet. Kbin does not have an API to use to connect to the site, yet. There is an app called Artemis that is being developed that is using scraping to pull data from the site. It’s in private beta currently.

You can delete an account from the account list.

(To be technical about it, That’s a little different than signing out in that the api key issued will still be valid as Lemmy doesn’t provide a way to invalidate the key. I believe the only way to invalidate a Lemmy api key currently is to change your password)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Using it to write this post! Overall not bad. A couple bugs to point out:

  1. Posts/Edits just hang on loading wheel, eventually reporting a JSON parsing error, but refreshing feed shows post/edit went through. Even canceling loading wheel screen after a second shows it went through.

  2. Cannot cause new alert bell to register read comments despite interaction.

I’m sure there’ll be resolved (or I’m missing something in regards to 2).

Glad to see Lemmy on my iPhone though. I don’t really care to interact with social media from my desktop.

Thanks for the awesome app!!

For #1 - that’s the instance lagging, this was happening to me on lemmy.world over the weekend constantly but when I switched to a not-bogged-down instance I haven’t had this issue. I think Gavin and the team are working on more clear error notifications to clarify what went wrong but that JSON error happens when the instance is straining.

At least for the comments thing I think you have to manually click the read button on the top right of your inbox page.

At least for now.

Droid ver pretty please 😭

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I have been using this for Android and I am liking it so far: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Connect has been a good experience for me so far, a bit more suited to my taste than Jeroba so far.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Been absolutely loving the experience on Memmy so far!

Thanks so much and congrats on getting into the store!

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

Looks and feels great. Wefwef is good too but not as responsive as a native app. We are taking off!

Written in memmy for lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I can't find memmy or wefwef on Android

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Wefwef is a browser app - search it up directly on your browser.

Memmy is currently only iOS :( but I'm sure Android community is amazing too! I'm seen people talking about Lemmy apps in other discussions, try searching them up!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Try Jerboa or Connect, these are some of the most popular Lemmy clients atm.

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

Liftoff is pretty great as well.

This app is beautiful, clean, easy to use and elegant. After Apollo died I went through all the Third parties and even the Reddit app. I just couldn’t do it, this app is amazing. Thank you for all the work put into this!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Joined the memmy IOS crowd. Looking great!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

They were initially developing Android side by side but the focus became making the best iOS experience as possible. It remains to be seen whether or not they’ll continue onward with Android.

There are a bunch of Android solutions out there that are quality. Thunder, Liftoff, Jerboa - plus stuff like Sync is coming soon.

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

Since it's expo, I'm sure it can also be able to create an android build in theory

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That makes sense I suppose.

Besides, Android users have wefwef too

Just installed. Pretty sweet. Thanks for making it happen.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Been rockin' Memmy ever since joining the beta, it quickly replaced both Mlem and Wefwef for me because of the beautiful Apollo-like (but not too much!) UX

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

any chance for an adroid client i apriciate jerboa but .kinda needs a better gui

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

Check out Connect for Lemmy. Also Boost is coming soon.

Absolutely incredible work. Beautiful app. Lightning progress. Great communication. Congratulations on the app store y'all.

I may be having a brain fart but I can’t work out how to reply to a comment… I can comment on a post but when I check the comments I don’t see a way to reply.

Or if I check my comments on a post I don’t see a way to view all comments.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Swipe from right to left on a comment.

Brilliant! Many many thanks!
