        It’s good and has a lot of features. But it’s being developed for both android and iOS and therefore does not feel completely at home for iPhone. For example the frosted glass effect is missing. Mlem is a native iOS app and will be soon released on the App Store. I prefer to use that app, even if it is not at feature parity with Memmy yet.

          Yeah, I’m waiting to see where we end up with Mlem before 100% committing to Memmy, but so far the latter feels more to my heart as a long time Apollo user.

          Still, I have both installed, and alternate between the two to see new TestFlight updates and whatnot.

          I’ve very much grown to love Memmy, but I think they are both already up there, getting awesome, so whichever one chooses, it’s probably going to feel good. Choice is always a treat to have!

          Memmy is an iOS only app though. It would like pretty out of place on android as it is right now imo. And personally I find the design to be a little more clean than Mlem right now.

            Yes, I checked just now and you are right. I was sure they were using universal tools to build the app, because it does not feel iOS native. That’s weird and does not explain why it doesn’t fully follow the iOS design guidelines.

              It’s made in React/Expo… fancy JavaScript. The devs will release for Android eventually.

              Only in development a few months and lots of updates.

      I’m using and recommending Memmy on iOS, this is quite reminiscent of Apollo imo.

      It needs to have a much easier way to rapidly suggest a good instance to make an account on without trying to explain all the details of Federation to new users. Just one click and done. They can learn about Federation afterwards.

          Definitely there should be an updated list of apps as the first recommended app (Jerboa) is like… Pre-alpha. Constant authentication issues for the one day I used it, plus other usability issues galore.

          I only found any mention of Connect for Lemmy on Lemmy itself and it’s a far superior app, used it ever since.

          Maybe it can suggest an app and other “getting started” stuff through a system message of some kind, like how Reddit delivers notices via it’s /u/Reddit bot.

      On the web UI, something I’d like to see is the various front ends people are making to be folded either into a user setting where you can select from a list or provided as different end points like old.reddit or, as lemmy.world has done, m.lemmy.world, or as lemmings.world with old.lemmings.world.

      There’s wefwef/voyager, alexandrite.app (for desktop, using it right now, see !alexandrite@lemmy.world ), the standard, and I’m sure a few others that many would be happy to use right now. And it would be awesome if you could just use which ever you like whenever. Also a wonderful demonstration of what FOSS can bring to the table.

          Well, arguable the way the fediverse grows and survives is through options, freedom and flexibility. Defaults matter, of course, but you can’t make everyone happy all the time.

        Liftoff in my opinion is the nest so far. But for some reason after updating UI for my phone it started crashing all the time so I cant use it. Using wefwef.app now.

          hmmm that’s unfortunate. But yeah, Liftoff has provided me with the most pleasing and stable experience so far. (Even if some of the features present in other clients and especially in the webapps are missing. Like showing the downvotes for example or the handling of multiple accounts and timelines in a weird way as well as liking too much to leemy.world…)

      I’m in Android and Voyager feels good. I was an Apollo user though I guess.
