Hi all, looking for an iOS app I can use for Lemmy.world. Mlem is absolutely not the answer, at least not anytime in the near future. Thanks for the help! Any navigation tips for mobile browsing would be much appreciated as well!
Its the tough thing, going forward things will suck before they get better, it won’t be an apples to apples seem less transfer but we are going to have to be willing to sacrifice here and there otherwise we will all go back to Reddit in the end.
Fuck Reddit. I’m happy to sacrifice and I think the masses are too seeing how many new communities are popping up over the last 24 hours. Thank you for your reply!
The short answer is there isn’t one. You got Mlem for iOS and Jerboa for android
That’s kind of what I thought, it feels good knowing I was on the right track. Thank you.
Mlem is coming along nicely. It’s a far cry from Apollo, but I feel for the devs in this space; they weren’t ready! It’s a lot all at once.
I’ve been flipping between mlem and kbin (as a pwa for now)
Kbin does have a bit more to offer right now in terms of customization, but it’s barely out of prototype phase itself. You can have a compact mode experience there, but both options are limited and struggling to catch their breath, in their own ways.
Mlem just implemented comment collapsing which I definitely appreciate.
At the same time I’m not mad about the lack of polish in this stage. A lot of the things people hated about reddit came from a particular type of mean-spirited and/or low-effort user… maybe the requirement of a little effort and patience/empathy on our parts now could be to our ultimate benefit :)

I think this is a fantastic point! And I think we should just celebrate the fact this is Reddit. I will give Kbin a look over and see how I feel using it! Thank you!
Ultimately I am so impressed with how well this has all handled the mass exodus from
SuckitReddit. I think this has all the potential and I am committed.
There isn’t really an alternative to Mlem at present, so the only thing you can do is to make due with it for now and / or use the website. I mainly use the website at present because Mlem doesn’t have a compact mode.
Ok thank you! Any suggestions on how you more smoothly navigate the website on mobile?
What problems are you facing on the website exactly? I’m just accessing my instance’s website via Safari and it works pretty okay. I’d just recommend opening threads in a new tab, perhaps.
I’m mostly running into loading issues. I am also struggling to navigate and find “my feed” if you will. And I have noticed I have to click things several times before it acknowledges the request.
I’m having the same issue when upvoting in Safari. The upvote seems to register, then disappears, so I upvote again, rinse and repeat. I’ve switched to Mlem for now and it’s not having the same issue. (My instance is Beehaw, if that matters.)
That could be an issue with your instance being overloaded. I have similar issues with lemmy.ml through Jerboa and the website.
Hm, maybe that’s a problem with the instance you’re on? Mine loads fine.
I’ve been following memmy which looks like it’s coming along very nicely. The dev has posted a few screenshots and videos with a preview of what it looks like.
