Just found it abouf 20 min and been scrolling through. It's pretty nice, but on dark mode at least it's really hard to tell the difference between where one post ends and another begins. Also, haven't checked, but a compact mode would DC be great too.

Is there an iPad version of Memmy? I use Android for my phone, but I do have an iPad Pro that I occasionally use.

Having lots of errors signing into various accounts when I was trying to find what server to call home... got my lemmy.world account and beehaw to work, but no luck with kbin.social...

Other than that, works pretty well. Obviously a long way off the gloriousness of Apollo, but not so far off that I'd rather stick with a web shortcut. Seeing a lot of image previews turned into 🔗 instead of showing thumbs, and so many sites now rejecting access due to the use of a VPN... but that's more a web problem than a Memmy prob I suppose.

Feature-request-wise, it would also be nice to see a more customizable feed that could hook into any combination of my various accounts with a tier-style prioritization on which account to load a subscription when a particular subscription exists across those accounts.

Exciting times either way!

One of the Memmy devs here - We don't support kbin (they don't have an API). Did you have issues with signing into any Lemmy instances specifically?

I went Lemmy.ml because it doesn't require an email address. I had 10's of Reddit accounts that I'd cycle through on different VPNs and only use certain ones on certain devices in the name of Internet anonymity. Giving up an email address (even one that's purely for junk mail) defeats the anonymity.

Lemmy being open source and relatively transparent means any bad actor with access would have a ton of info on me, even if it's just my habits, voting tendencies, and comments/posts. That's not info I want to give out.

I am giving it a try, been using mlem previously. It looks very sleek. I just need to find out how to remove the notification numbers on the inbox tab.

You can also mark individual messages as read by swiping left (past the reply option). I only just figured this out lol

Just got it as a BaconReader refugee. Loving it so far.

Awesome!! I’ve been using several of the iOS apps in beta over the past month, and Memmy has become my favorite.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Just seeing this on my newly downloaded memmy app. Good i feel like Patrick Bateman reviewing business cards. It’s very well polished.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool! How good is this app? I’ve just been using wefwef

I like the app so far, but I have noticed I have not been receiving push notifications when I get a reply etc. Also, it took my way too long to figure out how to make a post.

Must check this out. Wefwef has been refusing to post for me over the last couple of days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I feel right at home on Memmy. I’ll be sticking around for sure. Now if only my subreddit equivalents will pick up steam :/
