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

    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.

          2011 Mac Pro, which was discontinued in 2012, while support for the design was fully discontinued in 2013, when mac decided it would completely change everything and focus on the trash can design.

          I get upgrading and whatever the fuck, but this was supposed to be an upgradeable machine, like a user built pc, but then they just fucking dumped support within 2 years, which should be fucking criminal considering its outrageous price.

            It doesn’t make my life as a network engineer hell at all, having to figure out how to make decade old technology fit into a fiber network in a windows environment.

              They fit pretty well in the storage closet until the companies life cycle replacement sees them replaced with Windows machines.

      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.

          I did ask them about this in the Discord server, but they aren’t planning on this. Apparently, the cost would be quite a bit higher than the subscription, and they wouldn’t be profitable. They are keeping it open for the future, if it becomes easier to monetize, but they don’t have any plans for it as of right now.

      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.

        I mean, I would throw some more money his way if he decided to integrate it with Lemmy. It’s a good app, and has been reliably functional for years, through all the various iterations of Reddit jiggery-pokery.

        Also, if he does, a client app outliving it’s target service and migrating to support another competitor service would obviously become known as “pulling an Apollo”.

      Man the ad for lemmy if he announced it with a pop up on Apollo reddit opening

      • NightOwl@lemmy.one

        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.

    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.

    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. But it’s worth requesting it. If enough do so, perhaps the more priority it will get.

        For me, it was the swipe quick actions, true black dark theme, and how the comments were nested.

        It just felt right 12 years ago, I’ll insta buy again

        Feature rich. Basically whatever way you want to view Reddit, it has it. It also played videos much better for me than the official app. Very customizable and great ease of use.

      Fwiw, the dev for RIF has announced they’re going to be making an app for Tildes.

        It’s unfortunate that tildes is invite-only. I also secretly wish they would federate their website with us somehow, but I guess we can’t have everything. :p

          Can’t really force anyone to make an app like that. As much as I love rif, I doubt we’re getting that treatment for Lemmy. Hopefully the sync dev makes a good one!

      The iOS version was handled by a different developer altogether. LJ has never done work for iOS himself.
