Regardless of whether Memmy is the most “iOS” like, it’s the most like Apollo (RIP). I do like Avelon and Voyager as well but Memmy is my favorite and just feels compact, clean, and right.

Far from it. Featurewise it is the richest, but it does not feel like home on iOS.
Regarding apps for lemmy I prefer
Avelon Mlem. This one is made with swift has checks all the iOS design guidelines boxes.
Glad you are enjoying it!
- It's on the roadmap but we just haven't gotten around to it. Gk might be adding it soonish though.
- We were thinking of maybe making the subscription drawer open from anywhere in the app if you long press the Feed tab icon. I've also been meaning to add some customization options for the tab bar on the bottom to let you change what options are there, but no promises on that coming any time soon.
Personally I like Memmy too, Wefwef is great as well. Only thing I dislike of the latter is that it doesn't let you choose between app icons, but oh well.
Yeah that app is really great and looks really professional compared to every alternative. Keep up the good work!
It's my primary iOS Lemmy app currently (with Mlem as the backup). I am very keen on Voyager becoming a native iOS app though as a former Apollo user 👀 (sorry to admit that on the Memmy community!)
Voyager is live in the App Store now 😉
I think I've tried pretty much all the iOS clients for lemmy now, and Voyager is by far the best. Maybe I'm biased as a former Apollo user like you.
It’s on the App Store but even that version isn’t native (written in Swift with Swift UI) as far as I can tell
There’s a lot of fantastic work going on with Lemmy apps, and I have several installed.
But I keep coming back to Memmy!
Memmy is working really well on the iPad as well and the enhancements you mention make a lot of sense. I use an Android phone and am switching between Liftoff and Sync at the moment.
Memmy cannot pin/favorite a community without subscribing to it.
That is something that Apollo, Narwhal, Bean, Voyager, Mlem, and a few other apps have been able to do.
In fact, the only other app I use that also lacks such functionality like Memmy is the official Reddit app.
Memmy is nice, but such missing functionality has put it low on my list of favorite clients.
Agreed.
Hey if the Dev sees this, some communities I subscribe to don’t let me post, I get an error saying “this language is not supported”. I (just today) deselected “Undefined” as a language choice in my web profile to see if that fixes it, but I wasn’t sure if there was a way to add language selection into the app to prevent these errors.
Is iPad optimization on the road map?
Not currently. Maybe once we are more or less "done" developing the core features of Memmy and know for sure we are not changing any layout stuff or anything. But it's too time consuming testing for both devices.
Give Mlem a shot. It’s on the App Store and has a fully optimised iPadOS app
