Man, I love sync and can't wait to continue using it.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Please let that also be a Lemmy instance, Lemmy needs horizontal distributed scaling.

[–] Contestant@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

Love Sync, but I wish Infinity also implemented Lemmy support.

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.

Memmy Join the Memmy App beta - TestFlight - Apple https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

Mlem Join the Mlem beta - Testing Apps with TestFlight https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc

Limbo https://testflight.apple.com/join/e6ZEbxuR

Time to join us Android bros

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.

[–] mamalapandu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, Limbo seems pretty advanced compared to lemmy and memmy, thanks for sharing.

[–] broadbean@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Actually pretty impressed on first impressions!

[–] streetman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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

[–] NocturnalNebula@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How have I not found this!?

I wanted to check out Mlem, but it’s full. Lemur I think is discontinued. There is one that’s coming called Artemis, but that’s not available yet.

Memmy is honestly just what I was looking for. Cheers!

[–] lesnake@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Im using jerboa and it looks great!

[–] MarsAgainstVenus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I’ve been testing both and I definitely prefer Memmy overall. Mlem has better image display options and has search. Memmy doesn’t display images unless you tap on the post. Search should be released in the next day or two, though.

Artemis being an Apollo clone had me very excited, though.

Edit: new app just released on TestFlight showing real promise: Limbo

[–] _finger_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Limbo feels very Apollo

just a PSA, remember you can still use Lemmy as a PWA ("install" lemmy.world from safari as a shortcut)

[–] open_world@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's nice that we can have all these choices for 3rd party clients that won't end up getting screwed over due to a central authority.

[–] airportline@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What do we have to do to convince Christian Selig to make Apollo for Lemmy?

[–] Umbra@dormi.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Try wefwef, it’s very similar to Apollo
