After Apollo for Reddit was wiped from the face of the earth together with most third party reddit clients, there has been an empty void as Apollo was pretty much the only social media app I used.
Downloaded and played around in Memmy for a bit and OMG this app is beautiful.
PS: Thank you so much for also being back the swipe to Upvote/Downvote feature. I discovered it on accident by muscle memory from Apollo 😏👌🏻
ALSO: Kuddos for the amazingly simple analogy of hubs and emails for the startup screen, made setting up Lemmy for the first time such a breeze 💪🏻
Thanks, if you have any feedback regarding that screen let us know.
I’m on android, but my friend was confused and started asking me if lemmy was emails
Droid ver pretty please 😭
Connect has been a good experience for me so far, a bit more suited to my taste than Jeroba so far.
I have been using this for Android and I am liking it so far: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa
Just downloaded and this makes me very hopeful for the future. Feels like a new home after Apollo.
Yup, the community here and now this brilliant app as a start is pretty amazing. To get something so functional already in just a couple of weeks is nothing short of great.
Oh gosh. Just downloaded it and it is absolutely beautiful. This already fills the gap made by Apollo!
I wanna point out that it is also open source

…not that I will ever read the code, but it is kool
Great app. All I am missing is hide read posts or posts above.
If you go into your lemmy account on PC or possibly in your phone’s browser. Turn off ‘show read posts’, then Save.
Each post that you open, look at a picture or vote, will be gone. That works on the apps too, and on any logged inbrowser/computer. As a serial hider and hater of seeing the same posts, I love it.
The day Memmy gets Apollos ‘scroll past’ to mark actually read, and not ‘app hidden’, we’ll be cookin’!
And save comments
This app is beautiful, clean, easy to use and elegant. After Apollo died I went through all the Third parties and even the Reddit app. I just couldn’t do it, this app is amazing. Thank you for all the work put into this!
Thank you Gavin.
How can I find Gavin?
GAVIN?
I’m not joking I never found him, and I don’t Wana look it up
Ah. He isn’t real, all in his head
Looks and feels great. Wefwef is good too but not as responsive as a native app. We are taking off!
Written in memmy for lemmy.

Yeah, kind of thinking of switching if it comes to android
I’m just waiting for Boost for Lemmy to release 🤞🏻
any chance for an adroid client i apriciate jerboa but .kinda needs a better gui
Check out Connect for Lemmy. Also Boost is coming soon.
Using it to write this post! Overall not bad. A couple bugs to point out:
-
Posts/Edits just hang on loading wheel, eventually reporting a JSON parsing error, but refreshing feed shows post/edit went through. Even canceling loading wheel screen after a second shows it went through.
-
Cannot cause new alert bell to register read comments despite interaction.
I’m sure there’ll be resolved (or I’m missing something in regards to 2).
Glad to see Lemmy on my iPhone though. I don’t really care to interact with social media from my desktop.
Thanks for the awesome app!!
For #1 - that’s the instance lagging, this was happening to me on lemmy.world over the weekend constantly but when I switched to a not-bogged-down instance I haven’t had this issue. I think Gavin and the team are working on more clear error notifications to clarify what went wrong but that JSON error happens when the instance is straining.

It does exactly everything that I need it to do. I know I am a simple user, but I’m sure it will only get better from here.
For a first time user, I was previously very optimistic to try Lemmy on the desktop but it felt so overwhelming and confusing for me - from setting up a base account and everything. Memmy dumbed it down enough for me to get started and understand how the hell Lemmy works.
I can’t find memmy or wefwef on Android
Liftoff is a fantastic Android Lemmy client.
Wefwef is a web app, memmy is for iOS only.
Those aren’t on android, however here’s a thread on apps that are being made and some that are released which will/are available for android,: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
Try Jerboa or Connect, these are some of the most popular Lemmy clients atm.
Liftoff is pretty great as well.
I use all three! Jerboa for my ‘other’ account, and Connect/Liftoff for this one!
But it’s iOS only. :/
Since it’s expo, I’m sure it can also be able to create an android build in theory
From git
Here’s the official dev explanation about android https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy/issues/318#issuecomment-1616797000
Well, that explains all the trouble I had trying to build it for Android. I did get it to compile once, but it crashed immediately after launching.
Sounds like a ‘you’ problem… 🤷🏻♂️
Joined the memmy IOS crowd. Looking great!!
