I’m using memmy on iOS, it’s still on TestFlight: https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy (click on “join the group”)

[–] michikade@lemm.ee 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Memmy’s on the App Store now. It does still have a TestFlight if there are any spots available but the app store’s version is currently up to date.

[–] paperemail@links.rocks 4 points 2 years ago

Thanks, I didn’t know that 😃

[–] HeckingShepherd@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Been real happy with Memmy. It’s getting closer to Apollo every day

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah just a few things different but overall the aesthetic is very pleasing. Took forever for me to figure out how to mark a comment as “read” to get rid of the badges (slide left).

[–] HeckingShepherd@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I also really love the ability to pick a hex code for the accent color.

Theres also an official release in the app store if you don’t want test flight version.

[–] sicjoke@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Another +1 for Memmy. It has been my Apollo replacement.

[–] thal3s@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

!memmy@lemmy.ml kicks ass 💯

Nah, apps are better. There aren't any ads in the Lemmy apps I have installed on iOS, so uBlock Origin is irrelevant.

The UI is much better on apps in general.

Memmy on iOS is amazing and much better than using any browser.

[–] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Jerboa on Android is pretty solid imo

Liftoff is a better app experience than I ever had using any options for Reddit. It's fanatastic. It's far, far better than a browser experience as well.

[–] AzuleBlade@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Liftoff is my daily driver, Voyager is also great. It's awesome how many open source Lemmy apps are in active development right now.

Sync is still my favorite app for Reddit. And now I'm waiting Sync for lemmy.

In the meantime I'll be using liftoff. Seem like it's pretty close to sync, but no as good as sync.

Connect is at a stage where it could rival those now defunct mature 3PA Reddit apps

[–] sickonblues@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Using connect here too. Really enjoy using it.

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

The amount of features is insane! Mark as read on scroll, blocking instances, etc are super useful!

What? No. Lemmy web is clunky. Try an app bruh.

[–] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Connect, feels closes to boost. Until we have boost

I’ve tried Browser and also Apps, Lemmy feels better via apps imo

[–] H3wastooshort@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

When your Phones 1.5GB of RAM are always 1.3GB full and your CPU almost always at 100%, because you are running Android 11 (LineageOS) on a Phone from almost 10 years ago, then Jerboa starts to be quite a bit faster than Fennec (especially with uBlock~0~)

[–] majestictechie@lemmy.fosshost.com 10 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I use wefwef.app/Voyager on FF. I don't believe ublock does anything though since its not an Ad based service

[–] Boris_NotTooBadinoff@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Ublock will let you block just about anything, for instance if you're seeing too many posts from a specific instance ex: @leddit.danmark.party, this filter will block the entire instance lemmy.world##.post-listing:has-text(@leddit.danmark.party)

On mobile, I tried FFox and Chrome... Worked like garbage. I switched to Connect and I am happy now.

The stock interface is garbage though. Need them apps to streamline the experience.

[–] astral_avocado@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It's pretty damn excellent for a stock UI, and blows reddit out of the water. With that said I use Jerboa

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

I use Voyager and old.lemmy

[–] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Reddit webui is a really low bar though

My personal preference is to use (preferably FLOSS) apps whenever possible. I just don't like the experience of a browser trying to act like a native application. This goes for desktop and mobile.

It'll never happen, but if there were a desktop lemmy app I would use it.

I know I'm (probably?) weird.

When I used the web version of Lemmy, I wasn't able to find the subscribe button for communities.

[–] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You tap the "side bar" text to expand it and you have a subscribe button.

[–] Synthead@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The best UX doesn't need to be explained

[–] sat012e@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I will be the only person to agree and not suggest an app!

Unless there's some fantastic game-changing functionality provided by the app, I'm fine with the webpage. I have a pi-hole at home that further enhances the "no ads" experience.

I didn't use an app on reddit, either - old.reddit only! I left reddit and joined lemmy because fuck spez!

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The gamechanging functionality for me was being able to log in. Mobile, desktop, whatever. I click login, use my credentials, it says "logged in" and then asks me to log in again and warns down the right side of the website that I'm not logged in.

Using an app, I can actually log the fuck in.

I'm still waiting for a community-based project of passion like Reddit Enhancement Suite.

Lemmy Enhancement Suite when?! lol

[–] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Lemmy Enhancement Suite of Services.

LESS is more.

I'm not trademarking that, but please @me in the credits.

[–] dgkf@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The community-based project of passion to enhance lemmy is already here... it's lemmy.

This isn't reddit. There isn't a big black box and company around the service that is preventing the community from making it what they want it to be.

Sure there can be flavors, but I'd guess if there's the type of consensus around the usefulness as there is with RES, then why wait for a separate project to shoehorn features on top of lemmy when the folks behind lemmy seem quite receptive to contributions?

Yup, mobile Firefox runs beautifully and has all the features of the desktop version. I don't see a reason to get an app tbh.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I haven't dove into the Android app options and honestly, as an Android developer, I might just make my own.

I mostly browse on desktop, but wasn't a big fan of the main site, so I made my own one called Alexandrite that I think is more convenient to use. I use Voyager on my phone and I'm excited for Sync to release.

If anyone's curious here's one of my announcement posts, and another that includes mod tools.

I prefer Firefox and AdNauseum. I like seeing how the false ad clicks add up over time.

kbin on iOS is my ‘app’ of choice, at least thus far.
