Of the apps you’ve tested, which ones do you prefer? I like wefwef because it’s the most Apollo like and Memmy because it’s also Apollo like and the search has some pretty neat features.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 years ago

WefWef is the best so far IMO

Memmy is a close second, but doesn't feel as much like Apollo as WefWef does

Mlem has the most potential I think but just isn't quite there yet

[-] EyesEyesBaby@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Seeing the progress of Mlem vs Memmy; I think Memmy is going to come out on top.

[-] adj16@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

While I definitely have preferred Memmy to Mlem, I think a factor in the release schedule is that Memmy is one dev with a handful of contributors and can release whenever he wants. Mlem is a whole team, likely following some sort of contribution/build/release cycle, so they aren’t as free to release ad-hoc. I think their releases will be less frequent, but more substantial. Memmy hit the ground running, but I think there’s a real chance Mlem jumps well ahead of Memmy in the next month or so.

I’d like to be wrong! Because I like the look/feel of Memmy a lot more. But the next month will be telling.

For simple browsing wefwef is nice and fast since it’s really lightweight. Otherwise Memmy has been my go to app.

I’ve only tried Wefwef so far (as far as Lemmy goes) but it’s basically so good and so familiar feeling that I’m not sure I feel the need to try anything else

[-] velourium_camper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think I’m favouring Memmy of the TestFlight apps. Although I like Thunder’s markdown preview. Otherwise wefwef feels like home

[-] FlippyFlopp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

If I could get that Apollo style subscription list that wefwef has on memmy and fusing a few thing between wefwef and memmy I’d a be happy, sure a few more Apollo features while still making it your own, but happy nonetheless

Pro tip: because it is Lemmy, you can edit post titles to anything you want ;)

[-] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Wait you can edit titles? Lemmy just got at least 7 times better

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Oh. My. God. You’re right!

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Why do you have two Mlems? Lol

[-] PabloPicasshole@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Two different TestFlight profiles for the app… they had to switch

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thats cool! Do you prefer them over wefwef? I'm an android user, but am curious. This explosion of clients is quite the spectacle.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Yes, the original dev for Mlem jumped ship right when things got real and shut down his TestFlight app. He also kept it secret from everyone and announced that the app would close in 3 days, that’s how the other devs learned it, by opening the app. It’s like texting a breakup. The old app is still valid for a few more days.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Wow that sounds like such a bizarre ride lol. Wonder what happened.

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

For more pleasure.

[-] FarLine99@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

😁😁😁

[-] myofficialaccount@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

You can do that with actual apps, too ;⁠-⁠)

[-] chanunnaki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Gotta say, that’s one sexy icon for thunder

[-] svahnen@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I know wefwef is a web app, but are there other web apps for lemmy?

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

None that I know apart from the official websites.

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Can you do this on Android?

Depends on your browser. Try with Kiwi browser

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago
[-] SilentStorms@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Depends on your launcher. In Nova launcher I can long tap the app and click the pencil icon to edit the display name and icon image. Try that.

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Pixel Launcher and I guess it is not possible.

[-] MrComradeTaco@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

What's the best app you have used for Lemmy? Right now I'm using Connect for Lemmy but I would like to try another one.

[-] cyrusg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve tried most of them and wetter is my favorite so far. It’s probably the most polished.

[-] Reliant1087@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Liftoff has been the best for me so far.
