I think many of them have probably been gearing up for it.

Maybe he's not saying anything but then will drop a fully polished app out of nowhere like that Beyoncé album

In one interview he said he was exhausted from this ordeal and that he just doesn't have the energy to rewrite Apollo to Lemmy.

Memmy is already shaping up as a great client. Already very full featured. And with how fast the dev is updating, it’ll be awesome.

Here is a list of Apps coming to Lemmy:

Plenty for iOS to chose from, Christian’s legacy continues. Memmy and Mlem both feel pretty close to Apollo - and are both directly inspired by it.

These apps are in early beta. They have constant updates (daily for Memmy and weekly for Mlem), so you can kind of see them being built in real time. If you’re patient with the developers, you’ll get that Apollo experience very soon. It’s like 80% of the way there.

Liftoff is pretty cool too, though it’s a different design approach.

(I’m using Memmy now, actually.)

At least we'll have Memmy and Artemis

Yeah, that made me chuckle. Reddit is really trying to make sure I move on completely.

I like how they imply viewing it in the app suddenly makes the subreddit safe. They use the same trick in NSFW subreddits to get people to install thier app.

I always used baconreader because I'm after really compact and full function with options. I don't want giant image cards because I'm ten million years old (I'm not, I just like the outcome of having to design around simplicity and efficiency).

However, an actual app? Made by a popular, experienced, and successful app dev? I will 100% pay for and use that even though it's not my preferred design philosophy.

Lemmy and kbin are... alright as they are, but chrome is such a pos for multitasking and I would really love some clarity and consistency to the ux design across different instances and more and better options.

What I really want, ideally, is baconreader to make a universal fediverse app - but the likelihood of anybody making a universal app and that's good is very low, let alone my favorite 3rd party reddit app dev that's already said they don't plan on it.

If you want a particular community you can create it!

Be the change you want to see and create it. People will come

Create them! We won't judge you!

...don't judge mine

I created a sublemmy for PhotoshopRequest. Please spread the word as it'll help. Thanks! You may check it here

Honestly this feels like reddit in the old days hahaha

No confirmation that it will be there at launch but great news that he's committed to supporting it!

Kbin is a different software.

From an end user point of view, there's not much difference other than the UI (and because of differing APIs, different third party apps too). It's fully interoperable with Lemmy (and Mastodon).

Behind the scenes on the server, though, it's a completely different piece of software.

That’s not a stupid question.

But it was just talked about in a giant thread the other day.

Do search engines even index this shit?

When I Google stuff, I can’t find anything here.

Think of it as GMail and Yahoo! Mail. It's still emails at the end of the day but the UI looks different and their servers are definitely different.

I might buy pro on all 3: Mlem Memmy and Artemis, just to help skyrocket them on the App Store. Fuck spez
