Just found it abouf 20 min and been scrolling through. It's pretty nice, but on dark mode at least it's really hard to tell the difference between where one post ends and another begins. Also, haven't checked, but a compact mode would DC be great too.

When is it coming to Android?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

According to its GitHub page, it's made for Android aswell, but there's no download for some reason. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Originally the devs were aiming to bring it to android, but due to limited time and only haven’t iOS devices to test with they’ve shifted to only aiming for iOS releases at this point. It may come to Android at some point in the future but it’s not really in the roadmap at this point.

So I just found out about lemmy today and tried to search for it on the App Store, and apparently it’s only been released these days? Damn

Anyways, does anyone know why the app doesn’t let you upvote or comment?

Having lots of errors signing into various accounts when I was trying to find what server to call home... got my lemmy.world account and beehaw to work, but no luck with kbin.social...

Other than that, works pretty well. Obviously a long way off the gloriousness of Apollo, but not so far off that I'd rather stick with a web shortcut. Seeing a lot of image previews turned into 🔗 instead of showing thumbs, and so many sites now rejecting access due to the use of a VPN... but that's more a web problem than a Memmy prob I suppose.

Feature-request-wise, it would also be nice to see a more customizable feed that could hook into any combination of my various accounts with a tier-style prioritization on which account to load a subscription when a particular subscription exists across those accounts.

Exciting times either way!

One of the Memmy devs here - We don't support kbin (they don't have an API). Did you have issues with signing into any Lemmy instances specifically?

Thank you for this!

OMG, your screenshot made me believe lemmy got its first ad (pubg).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry. I’ll replace it with a cropped image. I just don’t want complaints of an edited screenshot so I didn’t crop it at first. But I’ll do it now that I see some confusion.

Awesome!! I’ve been using several of the iOS apps in beta over the past month, and Memmy has become my favorite.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool! How good is this app? I’ve just been using wefwef

I am giving it a try, been using mlem previously. It looks very sleek. I just need to find out how to remove the notification numbers on the inbox tab.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You can also mark individual messages as read by swiping left (past the reply option). I only just figured this out lol

What's better wefwef or memmy?

Just seeing this on my newly downloaded memmy app. Good i feel like Patrick Bateman reviewing business cards. It’s very well polished.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I like the app so far, but I have noticed I have not been receiving push notifications when I get a reply etc. Also, it took my way too long to figure out how to make a post.

Must check this out. Wefwef has been refusing to post for me over the last couple of days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I just downloaded the app. It’s amazing. Blazing fast, feature rich, and it’s open source!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Fantastic app, makes me feel right at home.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I’ve been using this app in beta, great to see.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There’s no way to save an image or share just an image. That’s very odd and a huge oversight. Hopefully that will get fixed quick.

Edit: I have to first click the image for some reason…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m in Memmy and if I tap on the image in this post, I get options to both save and share the image itself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ohhhh. That’s not user friendly. I just held the image down expecting it to save like everywhere else in iOS.

Thanks for the help!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is definitely my favourite Lemmy app.

Congrats to the developers!

Really appreciate all the hard work.

No wonder it’s been so hard to join!
