Mlem - iOS native Lemmy app

Hey all! Just wanted to shout out the app we are working on for Lemmy on iOS. We love Apollo and took lots of inspiration from it, but also have a lot of our own twists on the experience (Federation has it’s own twists on top of a single website!).

We are actively pushing updates a few times a week right now and building up a solid foundation if “1.0” features to submit to the app store in the coming weeks/months.

Personally it’s be a great excuse to learn Swift, SwiftUI and iOS development in general. What a blast!

Sign up for the Test Flight today before it fills up!

BaselT95,

I’m liking it so far. Looking forward to adding more customization and appearance settings

slemmy has a lot of issues but it is looking good.

Still using memmy which has the best functionality and less issues so far, but it definitely can improve on its ui design and borrow a thing or two from lemmy

gabo2007,

Any idea when the official launch will be? I know Testflight is pretty easy to set up, but I’ll probably wait till I can get v 1.0.

Meowmoth,

Lemmy.world, I also try with kbin and fedia .io with the same problem

meldrik,

It’s actually a very solid app. Haven’t had any issues with it. Obviously it’s missing some things, but the stuff already there is working.

I am wondering if you are going to streamline the signup process like they do on the official Mastodon app?

annabanana,

I’m liking the app so far!

Meowmoth,

I can’t log in, it keeps saying: Mlem couldn't fetch you account's information. File a bug report.

I'm getting the exact same error.

Are you logging in with your username and not your email?

I’m having trouble connecting with my Kbin account. Is this compatible with kbin?

Me too, I haven't been able to login to Kbin with any of these apps so far.

None of the “Lemmy” apps will work with kbin, at least for now. Kbin does not have apis available for devs yet.

The only kbin app I’m aware of is Artemis, which is in closed beta, is doing some form of scraping instead of using apis.

That interesting, thanks for sharing. I signed up for the Artemis testing, let's see how it goes.

Clareifi,

This is… Noice! 👏🏽 Well done!

    You are most likely logging in with your email instead of your username. Had the same thing happen to me.

    Paria_Stark,

    For anybody curious, here is a Memmy issue about it https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy/issues/168

    Different app, same root cause.

    gkd,

    Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who had this oversight 😅

    Paria_Stark,

    It proves that it's more of a weird API design on lemmy's end than anything else.

    davidarmstronglewis,

    Neat! Feels like a smoother experience already ❤️

    thisisdee,

    This looks quite good! I’ve tried a few others so far and this looked ahead of the others

    redsol2,

    Commenting from the app! This is fantastic!

    mattclassic,

    I love you guys this app makes the experience so much better

    @Limes@lemmy.world avatar

    Def my favorite so far.

    KillaBeez,

    Wefwef is the closest thing to Apollo I’ve experienced so far https://wefwef.app/settings/install

    avater,
    @avater@lemmy.world avatar

    it might be the closest from an ui/ux point of view but it still has a lot of issues with posts, messages, commentaries not loading.

    But it is one to keep an eye on, I'll give it that.

    krische,

    Top Tip for anyone reading: Definitely "install" it to your home screen; it makes the gestures work so much better.

    Demigod787,

    Yup, this is Apollo carbon copy alright. And I LOVE IT. I was honestly worries since my experience with webapps was less than stellar for a while, they're trash at best. But this is surprisingly fluid and feels close to a native app. I've both Mlem app and this, and so far this has HEAPS more features backed in and the only advantage Mlem has over it is that it is an app.

    HollandJim,

    I’m trying a few apps, as well as MIam, but the one thing I miss from all of them is the Apollo condensed mode, a la old Reddit, but smarter. I think the first that scratches that itch will keep me as a customer.

    Got a link for the TestFlight?

    KillaBeez,

    It’s a web app. Just follow the instructions to put it on your home screen and launch it from there.

    Yesbutnotreally,

    Should I be concerned that I can’t reach this webapp?
