Are we just stuck with browsers for the time being? I mean it works but fuck I miss Apollo already.
Mlem is being developed but is in a very early stage.
You can use MLEM It’s still in test flight, but works pretty OK.
Here’s the testflight page: https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc
https://lemmy.world/c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml
in beta at the moment. personally I’m just sticking with the web ui
I’m just going to add that the web ui on mobile is great. Good enough that I’ve stopped using mlem. Mlem doesn’t show you the different instances that users and communities are coming from which doesn’t really matter for users but is super annoying for communities, and the main dev said that’s intentional. It also shows you your “karma”, through what I’m assuming is just adding up the raw up/downvotes your posts/comments have accrued. Seeing that is what ultimately made me bounce, it seems like the complete antithesis of what Lemmy is trying to be about.
Also, while they’re working on adding a NSFW blur, it doesn’t exist yet and fuck seeing all that loli ai porn on my feed. I don’t mind having to scroll past stuff I’m not interested in, but fuck me at least blur it.

I had attempted to begin contributing code and those things left a sour taste in my mouth too. Ultimately I think wait until another open source option comes along and see if I can help at all.
It looks like someone else is creating a client, memmy. https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy
No releases as of yet though so can’t comment on that.
According to the GitHub page it’s heavily inspired by Apollo, so that’s got me quite excited.

Pass lol
Mlem keep crashing for me this morning so Ive stuck with the web ui for now as well. I personally like the web ui better for now but hope mlem gets better soon. (stability and ui wise)
you have to download the testflight testing suite, but mlem works well for me! https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem
You could beta test Mlem through TestFlight. It is a Lemmy app for iOS that works reasonably well for being brand new.
Could this work for fedia?
Sorry if this question is annoying I’m just new
I’m using the website still. I got Mlem going and it works, but I’m not a huge fan of the main feed being fully expanded. I assume it’ll get better as it gets worked on so I’ll keep an eye on it. But until then the website actually works pretty smoothly.
I used Mlem, it’s a test flight app, so it’s early in development, but it works fine enough. Crashes often, but that’s the only major issue I have.
Sadly Mlem won’t load (via Test Flight) on my 1st generation iPhone SE. The error says that Mlem requires iOS 16.
Novel idea: update your phone, so that it supports newer apps.
They can’t. iOS16 is not supported on 1st gen iPhone SE.
They mean buy a new phone.
Yeah, eventually a replacement will happen but in the mean time I’ll continue playing the “frugal game”. Instead of buying a new phone whenever the latest version is released, for less money I buy two of the previous version. Even if one needs a new battery I’m still way ahead. It’s very reassuring, especially when traveling, to have a cold spare just waiting in case the first one dies.
So far Mlem not working is the only problem I’ve encountered so it’s way to early to consider spending money. The Lemmy web view works just fine.
Occasionally I encounter someone totally into consumerism that can’t understand this, but that’s OK.
Other than Mlem, there are others currently under development too. I’m excitedly following memmy by @gkd@lemmy.ml
Interesting. I wish there was a “Remind me” feature so I could come back to your comment later to check on progress of that app. I’m using Mlem right now.
the dev seems to be posting updates here if you want to subscribe to it https://lemmy.ml/c/memmy
Got the TestFlight beta! Thx! Looks promising.
If you have a github account, you can “watch” the repo. If not…well…I’ll try to remember to post back here when I get those notifications :)
I’m working on building my own app for it too in Flutter, but Mlem seems to be the only option available as of now
Interesting, are you planning on an open source/free app?
I’m using Mlem, but I keep trying to do the Apollo gestures I’m so used to, and getting frustrated.
I’m in the same boat. I’m also an iOS developer so I’ve got something in the works (:
Thanks. Just tried Mlem. Seems reasonable. Dislike having to TestFlight it though.
I’m using Mlem through TestFlight. Works pretty well, crashes sometimes but I’m not sure that’s not just because I’m on IOS 17 dev beta.
on ios install TestFlite, go here. https://join-lemmy.org/apps/
Mlem looks great so far.
