After Apollo for Reddit was wiped from the face of the earth together with most third party reddit clients, there has been an empty void as Apollo was pretty much the only social media app I used.
Downloaded and played around in Memmy for a bit and OMG this app is beautiful.
PS: Thank you so much for also being back the swipe to Upvote/Downvote feature. I discovered it on accident by muscle memory from Apollo 😏👌🏻
ALSO: Kuddos for the amazingly simple analogy of hubs and emails for the startup screen, made setting up Lemmy for the first time such a breeze 💪🏻
I wanna point out that it is also open source

…not that I will ever read the code, but it is kool
It does exactly everything that I need it to do. I know I am a simple user, but I’m sure it will only get better from here.
For a first time user, I was previously very optimistic to try Lemmy on the desktop but it felt so overwhelming and confusing for me - from setting up a base account and everything. Memmy dumbed it down enough for me to get started and understand how the hell Lemmy works.
Just downloaded and this makes me very hopeful for the future. Feels like a new home after Apollo.
Using it to write this post! Overall not bad. A couple bugs to point out:
-
Posts/Edits just hang on loading wheel, eventually reporting a JSON parsing error, but refreshing feed shows post/edit went through. Even canceling loading wheel screen after a second shows it went through.
-
Cannot cause new alert bell to register read comments despite interaction.
I’m sure there’ll be resolved (or I’m missing something in regards to 2).
Glad to see Lemmy on my iPhone though. I don’t really care to interact with social media from my desktop.
Thanks for the awesome app!!
