Sorry didn’t include a link since it’s on the app store. Thanks for providing one.

[-] bighi@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, searching for apps in the app store is not easy. I tried searching for "memmy" and didn't find it. I had to use the full name.

OP you’re on an iPhone. Next time crop the photo in the Photos app to remove the ad for PUBG…

[-] onparole@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

I thought my Lemmy app was displaying ads and almost deleted it.

[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

I also though that, but I’m on wefwef so that didn’t make any sense

Any phone should be able to do this. The first thing my Android does after taking a screen shot is ask me if I want to crop.

One more step in the right direction.

[-] Frostwolf@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

A giant leap for the fediverse. :)

[-] An_Ugly_Bastard@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Now I just need to learn how to use Lemmy

[-] Bingohas@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

You better start believein’ in using Lemmy…

You’re doing it.

[-] EmilyInept@reddthat.com 46 points 1 year ago

I prefer WefWef but still: this can only be a good thing for Lemmy. Glad this is out!

[-] Pyon@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

WefWef UI is great, just wish it wasn’t a web app

[-] EmilyInept@reddthat.com 18 points 1 year ago

Honestly it’s hard to tell. Even on my old iPhone X it’s pretty seamless. I wish Apple and Android would give PWA apps more feature support overall tbh.

[-] ryno364@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It’s definitely not as responsive and has a slightly laggy feel to it. I mean it looks and runs great for a webapp. But it just isn’t as good as a native app.

It’s hard to tell until suddenly your phone is out of battery.

There was a really annoying issue with wefwef for me - Swiping back to the Home Screen would result in a brief couple seconds of lag before I could scroll again. Apart from that I’d agree that is was great.

But this Memmy app is a lot better in that regard 👌

[-] dispenser@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Interestingly enough, I am actually also getting this intermittently on Memmy after just switching.

I bounce back and forth between WefWef and Memmy and I think they are both great in their own way.

[-] Lemmylefty@vlemmy.net 14 points 1 year ago

Wefwef feels like Apollo in a stable beta version: it doesn’t have everything I’m used to (blocking communities from the main feed is a big one) but everything is in the right place. Pity I only got it after Apollo went down, since I can’t get my data from Apollo now.

I’m just trying Lemmy (writing this comment on it) and it’s still rather light but thankfully speedier than on a browser.

I figure I’ll bounce between them for a bit and see which one starts to gain more usage and features. But yes, it’s good that there are more options available.

I love wefwef but I actually prefer this now!

Wefwef is fast but it’s a web app, not a native one. It feels snappy and fast though.

For those unaware, you swipe to access voting/reply on comments, swipe from left to right on a comment to get to the up/down vote and swipe right to left to reply.

On your inbox, you can mark replies “read” by far swiping right to left.

You can also swipe to go back to your feed back swiping left to right starting from the edge of the post.

Lastly you can access settings by clicking the “gear” icon in your profile screen (top right)

Try: Jerboa, Liftoff, Connect, Summit, Thunder, wefwef, etc.

Sync is coming next month too.

We've got a bajillion of them, and unlike iOS, you didn't need to wait for it to hit the Apple Store.

[-] surli@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It's been announced that it's coming, but it's not released yet. I'm not sure if there's an expected release date

Im excited about all the apps but to be honest i hate the names of most of them. Mlem, wefwef, memmy. Idk the overly cute name makes me think of dudes who owo in people's DMs

[-] Tygr@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I love the WefWef app but hate every time I have to type that ridiculous name out. There’s absolutely zero chance I will ever say that horrible name aloud to people either.

Apollo was an awesome name. WW, opposite.

The dev did so much work in the last few weeks. It's amazing how quickly this app became good.

Me viewing this post on Memmy

[-] teft@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Very clean. I like it a lot.

[-] Frostwolf@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I know. Reminds me so much of apollo. I’m on cloud 9 right now :)

Why does the app need to collect the Device ID and link it to me?

[-] febra@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago
[-] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago

Memmy is fantastic and exactly what Lemmy needs to become more popular. Using Lemmy.world etc on a browser on iOS just didn’t want to work for me, the login button wouldn’t work on any browser.

The GitHub mentions Android support. How do we get this?
