Me too, but I think the Reddit and Lemmy APIs are sufficiently different that he would effectively have to rebuild most of the app. I have high hopes for https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem, I’m in the TestFlight, but it’s too incomplete to actually use currently. Still, I’ll miss Apollo itself far more than Reddit.
I really like Mlem so far. It’s a lot more stable and put-together than I would have expected for such an early dev version. I also have high hopes for the app.
With that said, Apollo was the app I used the most on my phone and it was probably one of the best-designed apps out there. I will really miss it come the end of this month.
I was thinking of getting a shiny new iPhone but then I realized, what would I even do on it without Apollo? I hope Mlem continues to improve and the momentum of Lemmy stays strong.
I just want to say that I agree with this, but it’s not an indictment of the dev(s)! I understand that they’ve had way less time/resources to work on this when compared with Apollo, and I’m sure Mlem will become an app I love over time
My understanding is the version I’m beta testing now is actually pretty far from where they already are. Might be an update to the beta later this week.
Jabroa isn’t fully fleshed out yet either, but it does at least have a more complete feature set at the momeent. It’s mostly usable for day to day Lemmy browsing. Mlem isn’t there yet. Sounds like the dev is making great strides, so hopefully soon.
I know he wants a break. But I would love to see Apollo for Lemmy

Yeah, I’m using Mlem for now. It’s pretty crashy right now and feature incomplete but hope to see it get better

mlem is planning a stable iOS release by 6/30, and using Apollo for inspiration. You won’t need to wait long.
This pleases me. It has so much potential but right now, compared to Apollo, it feels like taking a step back to the Stone Age.

On the android side, jabroa is kinda clunky. Hoping some other people step up to the plate.

I’m excited to see how fast both develop. The difference between Jerboa today and a couple days ago is pretty amazing. Things are moving quickly
It’s got more done in two days than “progress” on reddits trash app has made in 8 years. Imagine that.
I’d be cool if he just released it as FOSS so anyone could make it into what they wanted instead of it just becoming abandonware.
