As a fellow iOS user, Memmy is pretty sweet for a version 0.0 beta app.

Really enjoying Memmy too! Dev seems to be moving at a quick pace. The app is already functional and getting better each day
Would you like a more 'Material' lemmy app on iOS??
No
How have I not found this!?
I wanted to check out Mlem, but it’s full. Lemur I think is discontinued. There is one that’s coming called Artemis, but that’s not available yet.
Memmy is honestly just what I was looking for. Cheers!
I’ve been testing both and I definitely prefer Memmy overall. Mlem has better image display options and has search. Memmy doesn’t display images unless you tap on the post. Search should be released in the next day or two, though.
Artemis being an Apollo clone had me very excited, though.
Edit: new app just released on TestFlight showing real promise: Limbo

This is exactly why I never pick iphones, because a good chunk of the time you miss out on all the niche things you can do on a smartphone.
I never pic up an iPhone because Mac discontinued support for my $6000 editing computer within two years when they scrapped the mac towers and went laptop only.

SHIT. THIS IS AWESOME !!!
Please let that also be a Lemmy instance, Lemmy needs horizontal distributed scaling.
This is how I've been thinking Lemmy can scale. Sync can host their own instance funded by premium subscribers. In other cases, a group of friends with common local interests can host an instance with their local channels plus caching posts on other instances, and peoppe could connect to that or lemmy.world for free and see the same content.

It's nice that we can have all these choices for 3rd party clients that won't end up getting screwed over due to a central authority.
You already have like 3 apps. We have jerboa. Jerboa.
And Jerboa probably won't be updated for a while with the devs so busy working on Lemmy.
Actually, a new Android client called Thunder has entered Alpha. It's SEVERELY lacking in features as of now, though.

The official community is on Lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
There's also a subreddit r/syncforlemmy
I dare say he'll be wanting to get out a functional app before implementing things like support for Kbin. Bjt it's worth requesting it as the more who, perhaps the more priority it will get.

Time to join us Android bros
Happy for Android users, but for those that don’t know, on iOS, we have three apps in beta we can download, and all three are very good with the current state they are in. I suggest giving anyone of them a try.

I mean sync had and iOS version so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
Fingers crossed for Relay for Lemmy
This is the one I want to see. Here's hoping.

What do we have to do to convince Christian Selig to make Apollo for Lemmy?
I already pay for Apollo, I'd happily keep paying for Apollo for Lemmy, I'm sure tons of users would.
Try wefwef, it’s very similar to Apollo
Any idea if there's a chance that the app will be open-source?
Just waiting for Christian to announce he's rewriting Apollo....
Man the ad for lemmy if he announced it with a pop up on Apollo reddit opening
That would make spez so incredibly angry. And then promoting it on reddit in his subreddit and then people posting it to the apple sub would make me not surprised if he banned Apollo sub out of anger.
Same! I hope he’s considering it… Lemmy + Apollo would make it 1000x more attractive for Reddit users to enjoy Reddit without the management team’s constant fuckery.

After everything that happened, let the man enjoy his forced vacation for like a year before going back into the fray.
just a PSA, remember you can still use Lemmy as a PWA ("install" lemmy.world from safari as a shortcut)
Praise be.
Meanwhile I‘m just using the Safari Shortcut on the Home Screen. Works just as good as an app. If you‘re in beta test mood you can check out MLEM. It’s available through the Test Flight App.

I always used RIF for reddit but I'll definitely give Sync a try if this actually ends up happening

I need an Apollo alternative. Memmy app for iOS comes close though 😄
So what does this mean?
Hey, maybe apollo releases the code some day and someone picks it up for lemmy/kbin, would be happy for the iPhone stans lol.
