My feed has been flooded with posts about the Sync app released for Android, with a lot of hype but also some complaints regarding pricing, ads, privacy, etc.
This made me really appreciate Memmy, with which I have had no issues so far, and am impressed with how clean and easy it has been to use despite being new.
So that’s all, just a huge thank you.
I’ll second this. As a transplant of Reddit who used Apollo, Memmy seems to be heavily influenced by Apollo, which imo was an outstanding app.
I also saw all the posts about Sync and had to get caught up. Definitely makes me appreciate this app too.
You should check out Voyager too. It’s the closest thing to Apollo appearance-wise that I’ve used. I typically switch between that and Memmy.
I can’t get on with voyager. What the dev has done with a React PWA app is amazing but not having haptics makes it feel too weird. And the new app version is just a web view and performance is awful for me, not sure if it’s better on newer phones. But i could learn a lot from what he’s done with React I’m sure.
There’s a TestFlight available, which adds haptics.
Yea that’s what i was talking about with the app version. It just puts it in a web view on mobile, which makes it have terrible performance for me.
I’ve been extremely impressed with Memmy. Clean, stable and easy to use.
The main feature that’s missing is fast account switching, which IMO is even more important on a federated service.
edit: nm, long press on your account on the bottom to switch. The app is great!
Just long-press your account to switch; I’m not sure how much faster you could need it to be?
All that’s missing for me is a swipe to hide function like Apollo had and Voyager has. Once I have that I’ll be pretty locked in on Memmy, as I prefer it aesthetically !
We will be adding that soon i believe, since we’ve started making gestures customizable
I cannot wait!! I check back regularly so I look forward to the ability to customize swipe. :)
Any one tried the app called Avelon yet.,??
In my opinion, it’s one of the minimalist and snappy Lemmy app in comparison to Memmy (which is little bit cluttered with all the features and little more battery drainer with the similar usage pattern ).
If anyone likes the Voyager then I’m sure you like Avelon too… give it a try once…
As one of the main Memmy devs, i really like Avelon. I appreciate he’s trying something pretty different and like the direction he’s taking.
Avelon dev here - thanks! Really enjoy Memmy as well, pretty impressive what you guys are able to do with React Native.
It’s very cool to see so much enthusiasm in the dev community. Lemmy can definitely be a place where lots of different apps & frontends can thrive to suit just about everyone.
Hey sorry totally forgot to respond! Been checking out Avelon again for the past couple days and it’s really getting nice! Keep up the awesome work man
