They are honestly both good, but can’t beat the native ios experience.

    Interesting — is the former compiled? Seems smoother vs Swift UI, which is the opposite of what I’d expect for something that sounds like it has more bloat (React).

      In theory swift should be smoother, but in reality React Native is good enough for it to be really smooth. It comes down to the coding itself.

        Hm, yeah. The comment collapsing, for example, is animated in Mlem, whereas in Memmy it’s a simple disappear/ appear transition.

        The latter makes Memmy feel more snappy, even though Mlem’s smooth animation is actually kind of more impressive from a pure performance point of view.

          Yeah that’s true. React native do support very smooth transitions as well though. Another app that is extremely smooth - albeit not as complete as Mlem or Memmy is Beans for Lemmy. I do believe it’s written in Swift as well.

            Avelon is also another that I believe is Swift. It’s smoother than both Lemmy and Mlem, but lacks swipe actions at the moment, which turns out to make it unusable for me.
