They are honestly both good, but can’t beat the native ios experience.
Mostly Voyager for me because it’s almost a 1:1 clone of what I know and love.
But I have Memmy installed too and sometimes use that instead with no particular rhyme or reason.
Self hosting it myself, love it!

Although that has its benefits, it still has scrolling issues for me :/
This could be for many different reasons like older hardware or a less powerful video card in your mobile. Android or iOS?
I have scrolling issues on voyager as well on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I’m sure it will get better with time. This bug has also been a major nuisance.

I use wefwef and it’s my first time learning about memmy.
What are the advantages of PWA?
I like wefwef but the scrolling does get me from time to time.

It’s also cool how it can update frequently and fast. It seems to get small updates most days right now.

My main issue with wefwef is that I can’t directly save an image to the camera roll
Works fine for me. Did you deny it some permission somewhere?

And because its UI is a million times better. I don’t understand how people could see them both and go with Memmy.
because it’s not a blatant clone, and it’s a native app. I’m sure it’s good but i don’t want to go via safari every time i access Lemmy and it’s just a copy of apollo.
I don’t see how it being a clone is a negative. All I want is Apollo, and this is pretty damn close, so I’m happy. But to each their own!
Also the gestures are kinda glitchy and is slow compared to memmy.
Huh that’s interesting, it’s waaaayyy faster than Memmy for me. I know what you mean about glitchy. Annoying, but that’s the WebKit bug, and I’ve learned to just wait a second before scrolling down the feed after returning from a post. I don’t even think about it anymore, but I could see how that could bother some people.
Yep, it’s faster and it shows more posts than Memmy does for me. Logged in on the same account Memmy shows less posts from across the fediverse for whatever reason. Voyager shows everything I see on the desktop version of Lemmy.
Also a native app version with haptics and notifications is in the works for Voyager if that’s your kind of thing.

Different folks, different hardware
Memmy is fantastic as is the developer.
Mlem dev here—couldn’t agree more about Gavin, he’s a fantastic guy. Gave us some helpful tips about getting through App Store review. Massive props to him for getting that app up and running so fast.
I just want to say I love the friendly “competition” between you guys. It just results in better and better products. I have both and I use them equally. Great work on Mlem, and thanks for opening up the beta signup when I asked a couple of days ago. lol
I use Mlem as well - glad we’re all part of such a great community!
As a
wefwefVoyager user, I was like “What’s a memmy?” but I see it’s IOS only… :(Imagine touting the benefits of an open, decentralized, user-centric platform, and ONLY releasing your app for it on the most closed, centralized, corporate mobile operating system.
Not sure if this is hypocrisy or a lack of self awareness or what, but memmy is a joke for doing this
It’s almost as if the developer likely owns the phone and simply wants a native app for it?
The app is like, brand new… u just hating today
On a Friday too… they need to chill 😂
So all the apple users should just stick to reddit… What’s the logic behind your reply?
no, people making lemmy apps should support android is my point.
There are already ton of android options so who else will make one for apple
Connect go brrr
Is like Linux distros.
This is me, and I’m cool with it! I like jumping into both on a daily basis to see how each progresses.
Meh, you sure can.
I have memmy and still prefer wefwef
Is this IOS only?
If you want a good Android Lemmy client app, get Connect.
It blows Jerboa and liftoff out of the water.
It’s even getting updates once or twice a week!
Was like "oh cool, gonna try this connect app’, only to realize I was reading this comment on Connect. So many apps, man.
Jokes aside I’m loving that there’s so many different clients.
Also using connect!
Just waiting for Sync to get released tho.
iOS or pearOS
My only hate for Memmy is the massive vote buttons on the right. Why the hell are they so big?
Settings\Content\Show Comment Actions.
You’re welcome!
That and being unable to swipe-collapse a comment tree. The right-left swipe only being reply (when there’s already that giant reply button) there is certainly a design choice.
Might as well ask here. I am waiting on Sync for Lemmy to be released, and more importantly reach a non-alpha/beta release. But for now I am also down to try out others. Are there any that are able to handle Android tablets correctly? At the moment I have only used Jerboa. It is great on my phones, but it looks like the old days of apps for Android being forced to run on early tablets on my Galaxy Tab S8+. It just stretches out and feels off in both landscape and portrait orientations.
Adding this to be more specific, as I blanked on it originally. The thing I was somehow forgetting to mention was having cards in multiple columns. With Sync for Reddit, you could have posts show as cards that had smallish preview thumbnails in multiple columns. So posts would show more like a grid. Not sure why I blanked on saying that when talking about how currently posts just stretch all the way across the width of the display (especially in landscape mode). I am not sure if this is even currently an option with how Lemmy itself works. So hopefully that helps better. lol.
Connect is working great for me
I was on jerboa before and liked it. However I tried connect and it’s much better. Jerboa had a lot of bugs still. And the UI is smoother, cleaner and better functionality on connect.
Installed and it does seem to be smooth, so I do thank you for pointing it out! I am beginning to think what I am looking for is more an issue with Lemmy. The thing I liked about Sync was the ability to have multiple columns of posts in the card format. So each post in a community doesn’t just span the whole width of the screen (which is much more dramatic in landscape). Also keeps it easy to scroll more posts and preview images being smaller, but not as tiny as the super small list view.
That all being said, I do think Connect is very clean and will be using it more for the moment. It is good to see attention from devs being put towards Lemmy.
mlmym.org for me
This is awesome. Though mlmym.org does not have any impressum, so I googled it. It should be the instance run by the creator but my mobile device I am currently using does not show me the entire certificate details.
I note this because one should be aware that this has implications regarding security.
Though the creator chose the correct licensing, works under his real name and the code looks good, too.
https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym I did not spot any data gathering things in my fly-through. He gives all the things needed to deploy an own instance to omit this concern.
Bravo!
What’s everyone’s favorite Android lemmy browser?
I’m using jerboa but it’s missing some features I had with reddit. Suggestions?
Voyager has been pretty great. The devs are working overtime to get features working.
As a former infinity used, I love connect.
Using connect for now. Waiting for sync.
I’m enjoying Connect while I wait for Sync to be released.
(As a former Sync/RIF user)
Same, can’t wait for Sync
Biost for Lemmy supremacy
I have jerboa and just started using connect and like the ‘experimental’ slide to next post option
I use connect until sync arrives
Until Boost in my case 🤣
I’m sticking with Mlem for now, though they’re all 99% the same
I really like it! I just wish I could change my avatar. I looked everywhere, and the option doesn’t seem to exist.
Definitely fills the void Apollo left so far. I am relieved to have found Memmy.
