Typing this 11 days after the initial question was asked and things have changed a lot since.

I've tried two apps: voyager (used to be called wefwef) and memmy.

Voyager has one problem for me on iOS 15.7: When I tap and hold an image no menu shows up, and I have no way of directly sharing an image. I can only share the link, but I don't want to do that. So if i want to share memes directly with friends and family I can't do that. I've tried to explain the problem in github but it seems like it's not a high priority and difficult for them to reproduce. I wonder if this is rooted on voyager being a web app.

Memmy on the other hand has made great progress and for me is the winner because it allows to share the images directly like I used to in apollo. They've now fixed the swipe to close gesture being too harsh, and thus I have what I need.

Here's what happens on voyager when I tap and hold an image I want to share: https://files.catbox.moe/ypz37b.mp4

New Lemmy user here. I have two points of improvement I’d like to note, but am not sure where the actual ‘responsibility’ lies.

  1. It would be great to be able to mass-block communities from lists, rather than tiresomely do them one -at-a-time from ‘All’.

It would also be useful to see the list for subscribing, as I don’t know what’s out there until I see it. Sometimes I can’t think of something to search for until I see it.

Perhaps this lies more with individual apps/ clients rather than the Lemmy ecosystem…?

  1. May I suggest that communities entirely consisting of bots re-posting Reddit links is, uh, unhelpful?

Anyone?

I've tried almost all of them and shockingly Jerboa seems the best despite being the first as far as I'm aware.

Sync comes in last for having ads unfortunately. Or basically just disqualified.

i don't mind paying one time for the ads-free version of an app if it doesn't suck

$99 though holy shit man

I’m using the beta of Memmy for Lemmy (ios). It hasn’t been released yet, but it’s already stable, even though there’s work to do for what concern the UI and some features. I appreciate it because being new to Lemmy, it makes things a but more approachable.

it just released on App Store an hour ago

Summit is pretty raw in places but it's fast and simple. The developer is putting out updates every few days and actively taking user feedback on c/summit. I'm going to stick with it.

Voyager is now available as a native app in the app/play store

Liftoff, at least It was the best for me at the time when sync came out. I tried everything back then, but I should do it again

[–] supermurs@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Memmy for iPhone!
