Memmy 4 lyfe

- Memmy Gang 😎

- Hey I created my first lemmy account using wefwef. Memmy 4 lyfe though 🫡

Been on Memmy since the early stages and… damn that development speed!

33
- Yeah it’s so impressive isn’t it

I'm on android but I've tried a bunch (connect, summit, wefwef, another I forget) but I think Jerboa is the best. Seems the most functional by far. Can't wait for boost, though.

23
- Tried all of them, liftoff is way better

  Is there a better way to search for communities outside of your account's home instance on Liftoff that I haven't found? Connect currently has it beat on that feature, unless I've missed something obvious.

  Liftoff was really slow/buggy for me and I think searching for communities was hard
  
  2
  
  It's so fuckin stable. Way few timeouts too!
  
  2
- I miss the left-right scrolling navigation of bacon reader 😭
  
  I just want to view one post and it's comments at a time and swipe left and right to switch between posts. Why does no other app do that?
  
  3
- After using boost for years the biggest thing I hate about jerboa is that short and long taps on comments is backwards. Drives me nuts.
  
  3
  
  I KEEP LONG PRESSING AND THE UPVOTE/DOWNVOTE BUTTONS DISAPPEAR! WHO WOULD WANT THIS?!
  
  4
  
  This is literally my one and only complaint for jerboa. Its maddening, I need an option to change the short and long taps lmao
  
  3
  
  Same here, my one complaint aside from other small nitpicky things.
  
  2
- thunder is really good though
  
  3
  
  I stand corrected connect is actually amazing
  
  3
  
  I don't think I tried that actually, shall give it a go. I mostly just wanted to give Jerboa some love. It's fun trying the new ones but people seem to overlook it a bit.

- Liftoff is pretty awesome. I find it smoother than Jerboa.

I recently gave Connect a try and now I have a new favorite App. The devs working on Lemmy apps are awesome. 😍

22
- Same!!

man wait a bit it's my day 1 on wefwef.app

18
- Yeah, I'm sticking with wefwef until I get my iPhone later this year.

i’m beginning to suspect the devs in this space are in some secret competition over which of them can get us to say the silliest words with complete sincerity

15
Are you all able to upvote comments on Memmy? It’s the one issue I’m having with it

14
- Yes! It has swipe actions. Swipe to the right for up and down vote. Swipe to the left to reply to a comment.
  
  11
  
  That was it, thank you!
  
  4
- Please accept this upvote, brought to you courtesy of Memmy.

I need one that allows me to submit too. For now Wefwef is still beating Memmy on look/feel for me. Liftoff! has the best featureset but I don't like the looks so much.

Patiently waiting for Sync to release on Android....

12
- or boost...

As a former boost user, I'm waiting for Boost for Lemmy

Memmy doesn’t load my profile page :(

10
- I was having this issue as well and went back and forth with the dev on that. What he worked out was that capitalization of the username was causing issues. I had to delete/re-add my accounts to rectify it.
  
  8
  
  Thanks for sharing your fix, unfortunately the username is all lowercase in Memmy, so that isn’t my issue per se.
  
  6
- No issues here. Can you login though or is just your profile it can't load?
  
  3
  
  I can login, was actually replying from Memmy to see if it got fixed. My other account loads the profile, but this one on this instance doesn’t for some reason, and while I like my blahaj.zone account, I figured it’d be nice to see some of the other stuff and choose for myself what I do or don’t want to see, hence the infosec.pub account that Memmy doesn’t show the profile for.
  
  Though frankly, most of what I see on here that’s different is like exploding-heads garbage, so it’s not like I was really missing out on anything with blahaj.zone.
  
  6
- Had a similar issue cus I logged in with Email, had to sign out and login via Username

Ngl I think I like wefwef more after using both. Something just feels cleaner about it

Wait are we talking proprietary software here? What is this, reddit?

8
- We can't talk about proprietary software on Lemmy? 😱
  
  8
  
  It's fine, I just expected more people on here to be FOSS only (Free and Open Source Software) oriented.
  
  2
I’ve been using Wefwef up to this point but switched to Memmy since it has blocking of communities and Wefwef doesn’t yet.

7
Is it native or web app?

Can't stand constantly exiting out of wefwef every time I try to swipe back to the main page

7
- Memmy is native and wefwef is a web app.
  
  3
- This keeps happening to me and I hate it.
  
  2
- Is that an Android thing? Doesn’t happen to me on iOS.
  
  1
  
  Doesn't happen to me on Android.
  
  I assumed it was an iOS thing
  
  2
- I would think the dev would be able to override that even on a web app
  
  1
sadly the beta is full for ios

6
- It’s available in the App Store if you have an iPhone!
  
  15
  
  thanks you so much! writing this from the awesome memmy app, a lot better than Mlem, imo
  
  4
- An app "to rule them all" would need to be multiplatform
  
  9
  
  This is my only grievance with the app, hope it'll come soon! Meanwhile I'm using mlem for multi-instance. Memmy is for leisure-browsing!

Been with the great Memmy since I joined. What’s this peasant wefwef I keep hearing about?

6
- Here you go, friend.

How do i get Memmy? I can't find any way to download it for android.

6
- buy an iphone and download it
  
  11
- I think at one point they were planning on having an Android version too, but have scrapped it for now.
  
  4
  
  Probably because Lemmy apps for Android are saturated as hell so they decided to focus on the smaller base
  
  4
- It might only be for iPhone.
  
  1
Wish it was on Android :( I've tried a bunch but none of them are great. The closest was wefwef, but being a web app has it's problems. I think I'm going back to Jerboa for now.

5
- Liftoff is really good.

I just use lemmy.blahaj.zone as a Brave home screen app, the other apps I've tried are either missing features or I don't like how they look

But Boost was my favorite for Reddit so I'm also waiting for that and then I'll see if I stay on the web app or move to Boost or maybe try a new one

5
- I just use lemmy.blahaj.zone as a Brave home screen app
  
  And the best part is that you get to support Brave by mining cryptocurrency for them whenever you use it
  
  9
  
  I have all the crypto stuff disabled. I've seen people say that Brave makes their GPU usage go crazy but they never go into much detail and in those posts there's always half of the comments saying they have the same issue and the other half saying they dont, maybe they have the brave tokens enabled? I don't know much about crypto but I suppose that could be the issue
  
  Anyway I just use it because I saw Brave had a new search engine and I wanted to try it and then I forgot to switch back to whatever I was using before. But I don't have any issues with Brave and I don't have a reason to use a different one right now so I'll keep using Brave for now
  
  3
- Boost was so good!

Memmy for my phone, wefwef for the desktop. Best of both worlds

4
Been using Memmy since I moved away from Reddit and love it. Might be time to pick up Swift so I can help the dev.

4
- It's built in react native iirc
  
  2
  
  That’s cool! I thought it was all Swift but I checked the GitHub and yeah it’s using react-native. Hopefully that’ll mean cross platform support is planned in the future.

Give Mlem for iOS a shot.

4
- Ngl these names are so cute
  
  2
Both….. both is good

4
Can we get any of these alts without using Google?

3
- A couple are available on F-droid Https://search.f-droid.org/?q=Lemmy
  
  3
- Memmy is an iOS app so no Google needed.

Does memmy do kbin, though?
