      Memmy’s on the App Store now. It does still have a TestFlight if there are any spots available but the app store’s version is currently up to date.

        Yeah just a few things different but overall the aesthetic is very pleasing. Took forever for me to figure out how to mark a comment as “read” to get rid of the badges (slide left).

            It does work it just has the same problem Apollo had that it just isn’t optimized … I really liked the way alienblue or narwhal looked on the iPad because it just used the extra space better instead of feeling like a scaled up phone.

            On a side note … Reddit really expected all third party users to switch to their shitty app when it doesn’t have Tablet support after how many years?

      I have both Memmy and Mlem and I switch between them every time one releases an update to see who’s better.

        I’ve tried Mlem on and off, but Memmy and Voyager run circles around it in functionality. I’m sure the developer drama didn’t help anything either. I do hope Mlem catches up, because more options are never a bad thing.

          Wait, there was developer drama? I just saw a comment from the Mlem dev yesterday thanking the Memmy dev for helping with getting their app through some testflight issues.

            Yes, first, the founder of the project suddenly left with no warning, and then the guy who took over locked everybody out shortly after that. The remaining developers had to jump through hoops so they could resume development of the app.

    Nah, apps are better. There aren’t any ads in the Lemmy apps I have installed on iOS, so uBlock Origin is irrelevant.

    The UI is much better on apps in general.

    Memmy on iOS is amazing and much better than using any browser.

    Liftoff is a better app experience than I ever had using any options for Reddit. It’s fanatastic. It’s far, far better than a browser experience as well.

      Liftoff is my daily driver, Voyager is also great. It’s awesome how many open source Lemmy apps are in active development right now.

        it’s really great. I’m using connect on android, because it’s similar to RIF. But the beautiful thing is we have choice. I really hope you enjoy your lemmy experience on whatever app makes you happy.

      Sync is still my favorite app for Reddit. And now I’m waiting Sync for lemmy.

      In the meantime I’ll be using liftoff. Seem like it’s pretty close to sync, but no as good as sync.

      I grabbed liftoff after reading about the early access when using web interface. I’m sure it is missing some features, but it does “just work”, so I’m pretty happy with it.

    When your Phones 1.5GB of RAM are always 1.3GB full and your CPU almost always at 100%, because you are running Android 11 (LineageOS) on a Phone from almost 10 years ago, then Jerboa starts to be quite a bit faster than Fennec (especially with uBlock0)

      Ublock will let you block just about anything, for instance if you’re seeing too many posts from a specific instance ex: @leddit.danmark.party, this filter will block the entire instance lemmy.world##.post-listing:has-text(@leddit.danmark.party)

          If you click the 3 vertical dots, it should expand to reveal a star-icon option that’ll allow you to save the comment. To view saved comments, click on your username in the upper right, then profile. There should be a ‘Saved’ tab

          One other helpful snippet that’ll let you filter out posts that link to wsj, twitter, youtube, etc… lemmy.world##a[href*=“wsj.com”]

          I’m no ublock expert, but I’ve mostly tested these filters, so ymmv. If you run into any issues or need to tweak a filter please follow up so we can all share 😀

    On mobile, I tried FFox and Chrome… Worked like garbage. I switched to Connect and I am happy now.

      I was using Connect until I have found that there are trackers(via DuckDuckGo app) in it from Facebook. Trackers are common in apps, but if there are options available which give same experience without trackers, I will choose those options.

        This is probably not true. The app collects zero info according to the dev, the privacy policy, and the app store. The dev has stated that the trackers are from the sites you visit, not Connect itself

      What exactly is the problem with browser. Do people just have a high expectation of a platform, or am I just too used to the browser experience?

        I think it may be down to the UI, for example I preferred Relay for Reddit over the other offerings because the UI just felt more natural to me and that of course always going to be down to the individual user

    My personal preference is to use (preferably FLOSS) apps whenever possible. I just don’t like the experience of a browser trying to act like a native application. This goes for desktop and mobile.

    It’ll never happen, but if there were a desktop lemmy app I would use it.

    I know I’m (probably?) weird.

      I just installed the lemmy instance that I use as a “web app” via my browser on PC so it just acts like an app.
