I already pay for Apollo, I'd happily keep paying for Apollo for Lemmy, I'm sure tons of users would.
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.
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
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!
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
Really enjoying Memmy too! Dev seems to be moving at a quick pace. The app is already functional and getting better each day
It's made by the main Lemmy developer, but it's his personal project and not the official Lemmy android client. He's been making some controversial commits on Jerboa in the past on the basis that it's his personal project, so he can do as he please (unlike Lemmy which is funded by a foundation).
Can you elaborate on the "controversial commits"? I'm on iOS so haven't been following anything on the Android side
just a PSA, remember you can still use Lemmy as a PWA ("install" lemmy.world from safari as a shortcut)
Okay I'm using jerboa and I just can't get that type of FQ link to open in the app instead of the browser.
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.
My first smartphone ran Android 2.0 and back then apps were developed for iOS first. How the times have changed.
I would not get your hopes up. The last I heard the rumor said that you would only be able to side load on an iPhone if it was activated on a European carrier
Fair enough. I'm just saying from apple I'd expect nothing more but barely passing the definition malicious compliance.
I never pic up an iPhone because Mac discontinued support for my $6000 editing computer within two years when they scrapped the mac towers and went laptop only.
2011 Mac Pro, which was discontinued in 2012, while support for the design was fully discontinued in 2013, when mac decided it would completely change everything and focus on the trash can design.
I get upgrading and whatever the fuck, but this was supposed to be an upgradeable machine, like a user built pc, but then they just fucking dumped support within 2 years, which should be fucking criminal considering its outrageous price.
Lol we still have these an my company.
It doesn't make my life as a network engineer hell at all, having to figure out how to make decade old technology fit into a fiber network in a windows environment.
They fit pretty well in the storage closet until the companies life cycle replacement sees them replaced with Windows machines.
That would make spez so incredibly angry. And then promoting it on reddit in his subreddit and then people posting it to the apple sub would make me not surprised if he banned Apollo sub out of anger.
After everything that happened, let the man enjoy his forced vacation for like a year before going back into the fray.
Meanwhile I‘m just using the Safari Shortcut on the Home Screen. Works just as good as an app. If you‘re in beta test mood you can check out MLEM. It’s available through the Test Flight App.
I have been using Limbo which feels pretty good. https://testflight.apple.com/join/e6ZEbxuR
