Are we just stuck with browsers for the time being? I mean it works but fuck I miss Apollo already.
Spitfire ( @Spitfire@pawb.social ) English52•1 year agoMlem is being developed but is in a very early stage.
Thekingoflorda ( @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world ) English39•1 year agoYou can use MLEM It’s still in test flight, but works pretty OK.
Here’s the testflight page: https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc
handhookcardoor ( @handhookcardoor@lemmy.world ) English18•1 year agoI used Mlem, it’s a test flight app, so it’s early in development, but it works fine enough. Crashes often, but that’s the only major issue I have.
lettruthout ( @lettruthout@lemmy.world ) English2•1 year agoSadly Mlem won’t load (via Test Flight) on my 1st generation iPhone SE. The error says that Mlem requires iOS 16.
TexMexBazooka ( @TexMexBazooka@infosec.pub ) English6•1 year agoNovel idea: update your phone, so that it supports newer apps.
RickAllensLeftArm ( @RickAllensLeftArm@lemmy.world ) English8•1 year agoThey can’t. iOS16 is not supported on 1st gen iPhone SE.
akaxaka ( @akaxaka@lemmy.world ) English5•1 year agoThey mean buy a new phone.
lettruthout ( @lettruthout@lemmy.world ) English1•1 year agoYeah, eventually a replacement will happen but in the mean time I’ll continue playing the “frugal game”. Instead of buying a new phone whenever the latest version is released, for less money I buy two of the previous version. Even if one needs a new battery I’m still way ahead. It’s very reassuring, especially when traveling, to have a cold spare just waiting in case the first one dies.
So far Mlem not working is the only problem I’ve encountered so it’s way to early to consider spending money. The Lemmy web view works just fine.
Occasionally I encounter someone totally into consumerism that can’t understand this, but that’s OK.
alcyoneous ( @alcyoneous@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoIt does require iOS 16. There was another thread about a jailbreak user who was still on iOS 15 and it was confirmed that 16 is the minimum target.
acosmichippo ( @acosmichippo@lemmy.world ) English17•1 year agohttps://lemmy.world/c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml
in beta at the moment. personally I’m just sticking with the web ui
borari ( @borari@sh.itjust.works ) English10•1 year agoI’m just going to add that the web ui on mobile is great. Good enough that I’ve stopped using mlem. Mlem doesn’t show you the different instances that users and communities are coming from which doesn’t really matter for users but is super annoying for communities, and the main dev said that’s intentional. It also shows you your “karma”, through what I’m assuming is just adding up the raw up/downvotes your posts/comments have accrued. Seeing that is what ultimately made me bounce, it seems like the complete antithesis of what Lemmy is trying to be about.
Also, while they’re working on adding a NSFW blur, it doesn’t exist yet and fuck seeing all that loli ai porn on my feed. I don’t mind having to scroll past stuff I’m not interested in, but come on at least blur it.
Finally the web ui has the rainbow indent lines, while there’s nothing but whitespace to indicate child comments on mlem. I’m sure they’ll fix most of the stuff up given time, but I’m not using it until they dump the cumulative karma tracking.
V ( @vanderbilt@beehaw.org ) English3•1 year agoI had attempted to begin contributing code and those things left a sour taste in my mouth too. Ultimately I think wait until another open source option comes along and see if I can help at all.
Spitfire ( @Spitfire@pawb.social ) English3•1 year agoIt looks like someone else is creating a client, memmy. https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy
No releases as of yet though so can’t comment on that.
HrBingR ( @HrBingR@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoAccording to the GitHub page it’s heavily inspired by Apollo, so that’s got me quite excited.
the_nightman ( @the_nightman@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agoInspired by Apollo
React Native
Pass lol
forwaste ( @forwaste@lemmy.world ) English2•1 year agoMlem kept crashing for me this morning so Ive stuck with the web ui for now as well. I personally like the web ui more but hope mlem gets better soon. (stability and ui wise)
z2k_ ( @z2k_@lemmy.nz ) English11•1 year agoOther than Mlem, there are others currently under development too. I’m excitedly following memmy by @gkd@lemmy.ml
DeepChill ( @DeepChill@sh.itjust.works ) English8•1 year agoInteresting. I wish there was a “Remind me” feature so I could come back to your comment later to check on progress of that app. I’m using Mlem right now.
adj16 ( @adj16@lemmy.world ) English3•1 year agoIf you have a github account, you can “watch” the repo. If not…well…I’ll try to remember to post back here when I get those notifications :)
DeepChill ( @DeepChill@sh.itjust.works ) English2•1 year agoNo GitHub account but I found the button to save a post/comment. Thx!
sla ( @sla@lemmy.zip ) English1•1 year agothe dev seems to be posting updates here if you want to subscribe to it https://lemmy.ml/c/memmy
DeepChill ( @DeepChill@sh.itjust.works ) English1•1 year agoGot the TestFlight beta! Thx! Looks promising.
ddnomad ( @ddnomad@infosec.pub ) English1•1 year agoI mean, you can probably use whatever reminders app you have on the computing device variety you prefer :)
ddnomad ( @ddnomad@infosec.pub ) English1•1 year agoYou can also star the repo on GitHub and enable release notifications, I assume the developer will create a release once the app becomes usable.
DeepChill ( @DeepChill@sh.itjust.works ) English1•1 year agoYeah, I meant more like the reddit feature but I found the button for saving a post/comment so I can come back to it later.
jmf ( @jmf@lemm.ee ) English9•1 year agoyou have to download the testflight testing suite, but mlem works well for me! https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem
dan ( @dan@lemm.ee ) English9•1 year agoI’m using the website still. I got Mlem going and it works, but I’m not a huge fan of the main feed being fully expanded. I assume it’ll get better as it gets worked on so I’ll keep an eye on it. But until then the website actually works pretty smoothly.
digitalarcana ( @digitalarcana@beehaw.org ) English8•1 year agoYou could beta test Mlem through TestFlight. It is a Lemmy app for iOS that works reasonably well for being brand new.
Could this work for fedia?
Sorry if this question is annoying I’m just new digitalarcana ( @digitalarcana@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoMlem only works with Lemmy instances. Fedia is a kbin instance. They’re similar, and federate together for messages, but it is different code, so different apps are needed. I don’t think there is a kbin app yet.
Pexily ( @Pexily@sh.itjust.works ) English7•1 year agoI’m working on building my own app for it too in Flutter, but Mlem seems to be the only option available as of now
Problematic Consumer ( @problematicconsumer@lemmy.world ) English2•1 year agoInteresting, are you planning on an open source/free app?
joeygibson ( @joeygibson@lemmy.one ) English5•1 year agoI’m using Mlem, but I keep trying to do the Apollo gestures I’m so used to, and getting frustrated.
the_nightman ( @the_nightman@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoI’m in the same boat. I’m also an iOS developer so I’ve got something in the works (:
gravity ( @gravity@infosec.pub ) English3•1 year agoThanks. Just tried Mlem. Seems reasonable. Dislike having to TestFlight it though.
stevo ( @stevo@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agoon ios install TestFlite, go here. https://join-lemmy.org/apps/
Retirix_YT ( @Retirix_YT@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year agoI’m using Mlem through TestFlight. Works pretty well, crashes sometimes but I’m not sure that’s not just because I’m on IOS 17 dev beta.
eldereko ( @eldereko@feddit.dnico.io ) English1•1 year ago verkraftet ( @verkraftet@feddit.de ) English1•1 year agoMlem looks great so far.
