After first trying Mlem, Memmy was my main Lemmy app for a good while, until I have been trying out some other ones. Coming back to using Memmy, I am pretty happy how well-rounded it is.

For me, the most important things are functionality and readability. The customization and font options are very nice. I especially like having a theme like the Golden Hour that is easier on the eyes, and still get to pick a theme color! With the red, it gives me a chocolate factory vibe that I enjoy.

The automatic reader mode for links is great for minimizing distractions on links, ability for switching feed link icons to the right is nice for being a lefty phone user, and the icon options are nice to have. The actual communities’ pages having the banner makes it feel more complete. The markdown editor seems well done and the Jump button is great for reading efficiently. The concise UI is very pleasant. And most importantly, the function of the things that are implemented are seemingly all working and are pretty snappy.

Having the post click first before the going directly to the link is actually really nice, because half of the time I try to click a post on other apps and end up clicking a link to somewhere. Also, the saving of a post draft is nice, although I wish there would be some pop up message or small banner that would say so.

Some things that could be improved: the favorite icon on the left list of communities does not seem to work, the Moderates feed does not load (but is a great idea), adding a Mark above as read button for the Feed would be very welcomed, the read messages do not appear in the Inbox, and lastly I tried to post this using the app and it only blinked and did not post.

All of that said, I’m really happy about the balance of features and functionality and will stick with Memmy for a good bit.
