I started using jerboa cause of a random suggestion, how does everyone feel about it? I noticed it doesnt collect user data and I think it said it encrypts stuff, which I like for privacy
After being here for 5 minutes. After not knowing how to login 6 minutes ago.
I’ve already forgot reddit exists.
What’s Reddit?
What’s Reddit?
I would’ve liked to try it, but it crashes on app launch :/ using Connect For Lemmy instead
I’ve only started using it, but I’m liking it alright. That being said, I’m going to use Sync as soon as it’s available.
I’m using liftoff and I like it more, because it remembers that I only want posts from the communities that I’m subscribed to.
I am still getting used to it coming from RIF but it’s growing on me.
I love Memmy, but that icon looks like a clown tick.
We already are looking at adding community icons. 🤘
Memmy has seriously improved over the past two weeks, it’s development has been extremely fast and I’m very impressed with my limited casual use so far.
❤️
Which clients?
Memmy + Mlem
Which is better?
Feature wise definitely Memmy, looks-wise Mlem
Memmy is on fire development-wise. Lots of updates.
Memmy with the purple theme is where it’s at
Dunno Memmy is pretty neat looking with all the different themes
THERE ARE THEMES NOW?? Dang, development really is on fire.
I’ve been doing my best to read all of the notes for each update, but I totally missed that themes were a thing.
Dracula <3
Wow, I have been on Memmy for a few days and didn’t read any of the change logs. I love Dracula theme. Just enabled it. Thanks for mentioning! The new icon is good too, much better than last week’s.
Thanks!

Thank you for doing this important work!
Glad I can help!
good bot
Its not as polished as Apollo but years of development will do that for you.
I noticed at one point in the side swipe upvote the down vote and upvote waw pointing down just the color was changing
🤌
the apollo - memmy pipeline is real
Highly recommend checking out wefwef - closest option to an Apollo clone as I’ve seen so far in terms of UI and functionality, and doesn’t even need to be installed. Memmy is a very good second place option, but I’ve been using wefwef since I heard about it yesterday and ZI think it’s better.
It’s good but laggy. Swiping doesn’t feels native unfortunately.
Are you using it as an installed PWA? I’m not having any issues with animations or scrolling. I have run into a few weird UI bugs with slide up menus within communities, but that’s about it.
As the Memmy dev I can also highly recommend wefwef. Great product for such a short lifespan.
Thanks for all you’re doing!
Quick question: I noticed the API calls aren’t (weren’t?) compressed, is that on purpose?
Going outbound or inbound? Outbound the requests are super basic, inbound they are pretty large. There’s a lot of limitations on that.
For example to get basic user info you have to receive a bunch of other information that you’re not going to bother using. Hopefully in time this will get changed, because there’s no reason to be receiving so much data whenever you really only need a few bytes.
the json coming back from requests like showing a thread was not compressed when I checked yesterday (firefox on ubuntu): https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/1a99e758-deaa-46f6-8eff-3aa2158858ad.png
but I just checked again and now it’s correctly responding with compression (chrome on windows)
Ohh you’re referring to wefwef. I’m not the wefwef dev, I’m the memmy dev. Thought you were talking about API calls memmy makes.
I do have installed as a PWA, and although I’m really liking it visually, it’s a bit buggy. I’d like to know if the bugginess is because of its beta status or the fact that it’s not native.
If it’s the latter, it’d be unfortunate since it’s making my switch to Lemmy so much smoother as I feel like I’m using Apollo, which I’m very used to.
It’s probably a bit of both - wefwef has been around for literally just days at this point I believe, so I have high hopes it will continue to improve.
Beyond that, there are a lot of people who feel Apollo is/was the best user experience for Reddit, and there will be a LOT of devs trying to emulate that - one way or another, we’re going to get a high-quality Apollo replacement eventually.
Thats’s fair, most, if not all, of these apps has just started development, and it’s pretty impressive what they’ve accomplished so far.
Right now I feel like when Mastodon started to grow exponentially last year, all of a sudden there were a ton of new pretty good clients. I can see something similar happening here.
I gotta say tho that although using wefwef is helping me getting used to not open Apollo, I think it would be really great if it grows to become its own thing once the platform matures.
It’s great, but I really wish it had the equivalent of Apollo’s “compact” mode!
They just shipped it minutes ago! Second release in less than 24h lol
Using it right now. So far it’s nice. But I have like 7 plus the browser. See which becomes my default in time. I am just so used to RIF it’s going take an adjustment.
Throws an error fetching posts. Nothing shows
It worked for me once I logged in.
I did log in and it was still throwing that same error :/
Lemmy.world is apparently rate limiting the wefwef.app domain. They are working on resolving it. In the meantime you can try the suggested solutions in their community https://lemmy.world/post/801298
For example self hosting it or using other’s publicly available versions of it like https://w.opnxng.com/ though you should always be cautious using other’s instances.
I started with Mlem and wasn’t a huge fan and was primarily using Memmy. But I decided to try mlem again as it’s been a while and it looks much better! Might be my new daily driver. I’ll give wefwef a try too.
Yeah like a week after I joined they completely changed the display, and it’s been my heavy hitter. Wefwef feels like I never left Apollo though.
FYI, Memmy was JUST submitted to the AppStore at 8am yesterday. It’s waiting on review. 🤞
I wonder if Christian can reuse Apollo as a Lemmy client and keep the project going
Wefwef is a web app that is a near carbon copy of Apollo. It’s how I’m browsing and it’s great. Much better than the web interface.
I think he’s mentioned he doesn’t really have an interest in that right now. But I wish so too.
Yeah, it’s not too bad here. Got a dope username and gonna go on a spree searching up some cool new communities. There will always be enough people relaying all the reddit content, so why bother ig
I was so happy when I found my normal username was available here on Lemmy. It’s a shallow reason to like the app, but it’s part of what really sold it to me and made me check it out further, and so far, I’m really happy I did.
Memmy is excellent
Apollo is more like the wife who was murdered by Reddit, now watching you from heaven, hoping that you find a new social media platform to make you happy.
I just need to figure out how to add more “subreddits” or whatever they are called and how to switch between them but other than that this app feels great so far. Fuck Spez. Currently using Memmy
