Congrats for launching Memmy! AND THANK YOU π₯Ήβ₯οΈ
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 πππ»
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 πͺπ»
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.
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'!
Does anyone know how to sign out? I canβt 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 Iβm a lil lost lol
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. Itβs in private beta currently.
(To be technical about it, Thatβs a little different than signing out in that the api key issued will still be valid as Lemmy doesnβt provide a way to invalidate the key. I believe the only way to invalidate a Lemmy api key currently is to change your password)
Using it to write this post! Overall not bad. A couple bugs to point out:
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.
Cannot cause new alert bell to register read comments despite interaction.
Iβm sure thereβll be resolved (or Iβm missing something in regards to 2).
Glad to see Lemmy on my iPhone though. I donβt really care to interact with social media from my desktop.
For #1 - thatβs 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 havenβt 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.
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 couldnβt do it, this app is amazing. Thank you for all the work put into this!
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 theyβll 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.
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!
Those aren't on android, however here's a thread on apps that are being made and some that are released which will/are available for android,:

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
I may be having a brain fart but I canβt work out how to reply to a commentβ¦ I can comment on a post but when I check the comments I donβt see a way to reply.
Or if I check my comments on a post I donβt see a way to view all comments.
After playing around with the official release, I'm back to the TestFlight version again - super excited and want to be on the front line seeing what the app can offer π₯³
