iOS has Mlem, but it is still in a very early stage.
Using mlem as we speak, but it sure is dry. I’d love an Apollo-style client for Lemmy. (Christian, if you see this, please.)
I wonder if Lemmy’s (and thus the Fediverse’s) target audience is even willing to spend money on apps. Even the makers of Tweetbot are having a hard time competing with Ivory against the numerous free alternatives.
If the target audience you speak of is people leaving the other site and coming here, then I’d say 100% yes. I can only speak for myself, but after seeing what they did to Apollo, I would be more than happy to spend some money to support Christian if he were to make an app for Lemmy. I think a lot of others would to.
There were no really good free Reddit apps for iOS. Apollo hit a niche. A free Lemmy app would at least have to compete with Mlem and the time frame is narrow until the market is flooded (see also: Mastodon’s three months from 0 to 7262952 apps).
There was, Alien Blue. Then Reddit bought it up and disfigured it into the official app.
There were a few others besides Apollo though. BaconReader was solid.
I used BaconReader on Android back in the day. I didn’t know it had an iOS version. I stand corrected.
Too bad I’m not an app developer - I’d be all over it, haha.
This may be a dumb question, but how do I install this from GitHub? Do I need to jailbreak or have an apple dev account?
You don’t. You get it from TestFlight. Click the blue “download” button there!
Awesome. Thanks!!! Very nice client! Devs deserve some support!
They sure do!
Hopefully mlem gets new features added. I don’t know how to subscribe to new communities on it or see replies to my comments so I use the browser as well.
I hope they add compact view. I like knowing the exact boundaries of each post or item on the feed. With the way that posts get expanded based on whether it’s a text post, image, or link, it makes it hard for my lil brain to digest.
It’s been getting updated frequently. It’s just in like a pre alpha phase right now.
I will donate when I get home. I’m loving the whole lemmy thing in general. super easy to login find communities particpate etc… I can’t believe what reddit did but i’m liking this
If good people come over it may surpass reddit, as long as they make the signup/explanation of the federated model as easy as possible as there’s a hiccup of a learning curve.
Yep, I noticed that submitting post and comments take a while to submit but i’m willing to go with it. Loving it here
Jerboa is the only one that I know of for android.
Indeed and it’s pretty good honestly, which is impressive considering how young Lemmy is.
Give it time and we’re going to have some really excellent options.
There is Lemmur, but I believe that project is inactive as of the moment
Bullshit. As if the people training the LLMs are the same ones building the datasets. And once the dataset is built it can be used to trained all models so it doesn’t affect them.
Wrong thread?
Yeah, the fuck? I’ve reloaded and I’m somewhere else than where I wrote the comment.
This happened earlier today to me, too. My comment ended up in the wrong thread and ended up completely out of context. There are definitely some issues to work out.
Lemmy has teleportation? Damn, it’s a lot better than reddit.
