Is there an Android version available?

If I’m on the TestFlight is it important to switch?

I am guessing this is the Apollo equivalent? Do we know anything about an Infinity for Lemmy?

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?

This was fast. Shoutout to everyone involved!

What's better wefwef or memmy?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (9 children)

I'm using both. On paper I like Memmy more, but it's missing a couple of features present in Wefwef:

  1. Landscape mode.

  2. A way to display inline pics. If you're a Memmy user wondering why sometimes you see comments without text or anything, that's why. You're not seeing a pic.

But if Memmy had these two things, I don't think I'd be using Wefwef much.

Thank you for this!

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!

kbin is federated with lemmy (and mastadon) but it is actually its own software with its own (unfinished) API.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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?

Downloaded it and I think it‘s really neat! Improved my experience instantly!

When is it coming to Android?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I think they were aiming for iOS first but will be coming in the future.

Programmed in Expo (JavaScript) which is cross platform.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Compact is available :)

Settings -> Content -> toggle Compact View.

I thought it was missing at first because it wasn’t in the Appearance section of the Settings.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

We probably will move it to Appearance. Honestly not sure how i feel about the settings layout in general.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

This is HUGE.
