How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

I haven’t used liftoff but Memmy is also quite nice!

Liftoff is on android and Memmy is on IOS

Liftoff is Flutter and thus runs on everything.

Yep, happily testing out Liftoff on iOS. I still find myself using Memmy more often but it’s close. Pretty nice to have a bunch of options to explore developing at such a high rate.

Both are on test flight (beta prerelease) for iOS. I can’t log in on Liftoff, so memmy is my current go-to.

I have been using Memmy too. It has been excellent.

Just started lemmy and Memmy today. It’s been a great experience so far. The learning curve isn’t nearly as large as has been reported

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A big part of that smooth experience is all the progress that’s been made in the past month, on both Lemmy and Memmy.

The Memmy app only started out as a beta in TestFlight ~4 weeks ago, and was limited to 10k users. The developer has made a truly inhuman amount of progress in that time - he was (and still is) pushing updates more than once a day. It’s only been in the regular App Store for a few days now.

Additionally, the largest Lemmy instance (lemmy.world) was having stability issues with the massive influx of users. But just a few days ago they figured out what was causing the problems, and the latest version of Lemmy has those fixes.

Wow, when you put it like that, it really highlights how much work got put into this because the experience, especially for a brand new app, is very reminiscent of Apollo. They’ve done a great job so far. Obviously not near where Apollo was, but that was over 9 years of development. Memmy looking great* so far

So far the issue that I’ve been having with Memmy is that dictation doesn’t work properly: it will delete a dictated comment when you stop/finish dictation.  There’s a lot to like about it but until that’s fixed I’ll be using Mlem.
