Mlem - iOS native Lemmy app (github.com)

Hey all! Just wanted to shout out the app we are working on for Lemmy on iOS. We love Apollo and took lots of inspiration from it, but also have a lot of our own twists on the experience (Federation has it's own twists on top of a single website!).

We are actively pushing updates a few times a week right now and building up a solid foundation if "1.0" features to submit to the app store in the coming weeks/months.

Personally it's be a great excuse to learn Swift, SwiftUI and iOS development in general. What a blast!

Def my favorite so far.

Wefwef is the closest thing to Apollo I’ve experienced so far https://wefwef.app/settings/install

Top Tip for anyone taking: Definitely "install" it to your home screen; it makes the gestures work so much better.

Second this! Shocking how similar it feels despite being a web app.

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

Yup, this is Apollo carbon copy alright. And I LOVE IT. I was honestly worries since my experience with webapps was less than stellar for a while, they're trash at best. But this is surprisingly fluid and feels close to a native app. I've both Mlem app and this, and so far this has HEAPS more features backed in and the only advantage Mlem has over it is that it is an app.

Holy shit, this is the one. I hope a native one comes out one day, but I’m shocked at how good this web app is.

Got a link for the TestFlight?

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

It’s a web app. Just follow the instructions to put it on your home screen and launch it from there.

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

Should I be concerned that I can’t reach this webapp?

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

It seems a little buggy, but my guess would be that it is just getting hit hard with activity.

I’d also recommend giving Memmy a try:

I have no idea what to do to get that app

First you need to download the TestFlight app from the App Store if you don’t already have it. Then, on the GitHub page, click the link that says “click here and join the group”. After that you will be able to install the app from TestFlight. Later, they will have a stable release in the App Store, and you should be able to switch over to that then, if you like.
