      Using mlem as we speak, but it sure is dry. I’d love an Apollo-style client for Lemmy. (Christian, if you see this, please.)

        I wonder if Lemmy’s (and thus the Fediverse’s) target audience is even willing to spend money on apps. Even the makers of Tweetbot are having a hard time competing with Ivory against the numerous free alternatives.

            There were no really good free Reddit apps for iOS. Apollo hit a niche. A free Lemmy app would at least have to compete with Mlem and the time frame is narrow until the market is flooded (see also: Mastodon’s three months from 0 to 7262952 apps).

              There was, Alien Blue. Then Reddit bought it up and disfigured it into the official app.

              There were a few others besides Apollo though. BaconReader was solid.

                I used BaconReader on Android back in the day. I didn’t know it had an iOS version. I stand corrected.

      Hopefully mlem gets new features added. I don’t know how to subscribe to new communities on it or see replies to my comments so I use the browser as well.

        I hope they add compact view. I like knowing the exact boundaries of each post or item on the feed. With the way that posts get expanded based on whether it’s a text post, image, or link, it makes it hard for my lil brain to digest.

      This may be a dumb question, but how do I install this from GitHub? Do I need to jailbreak or have an apple dev account?

      Indeed and it’s pretty good honestly, which is impressive considering how young Lemmy is.

      Give it time and we’re going to have some really excellent options.

      If good people come over it may surpass reddit, as long as they make the signup/explanation of the federated model as easy as possible as there’s a hiccup of a learning curve.

          This happened earlier today to me, too. My comment ended up in the wrong thread and ended up completely out of context. There are definitely some issues to work out.

          Lemmy has teleportation? Damn, it’s a lot better than reddit.
