Correction: the pop up for Lemmy should start to appear sometime this weekend
Also apparently confirmed in discord that kbin support will be coming:
Really wish Christian would bring Apollo to Lemmy in the same fashion
Memmy is already shaping up as a great client. Already very full featured. And with how fast the dev is updating, it’ll be awesome.
For real. I can’t believe how much progress Memmy has made. I literally put it where my ReddPlanet icon was on my home screen.
Maybe he’s not saying anything but then will drop a fully polished app out of nowhere like that Beyoncé album
My god I wish. But I will say, congrats to Mlem and to Memmy, for pushing out two apollo-esque apps in the spirit of it all
Working on Mlem has been super fun and educational!
FOSS ftw
Here is a list of Apps coming to Lemmy:

Plenty for iOS to chose from, Christian’s legacy continues. Memmy and Mlem both feel pretty close to Apollo - and are both directly inspired by it.
These apps are in early beta. They have constant updates (daily for Memmy and weekly for Mlem), so you can kind of see them being built in real time. If you’re patient with the developers, you’ll get that Apollo experience very soon. It’s like 80% of the way there.
Liftoff is pretty cool too, though it’s a different design approach.
(I’m using Memmy now, actually.)
Great summary!
Memmy mafia represent!
In one interview he said he was exhausted from this ordeal and that he just doesn’t have the energy to rewrite Apollo to Lemmy.
And he deserves a long vacation after all the shit that has happened to him. I’d even understand if he’d go low profile from this point on.
The character assassination Steve Huffman unleashed on him would make a lesser man just want to disappear (online).
At least we’ll have Memmy and Artemis
If anyone wants to support him he has a patreon.
Kbin support wow :0
Just take my money already 😩
Fuck yeah. I’m a grown ass man, and I feel like a child at Christmas Eve.
This is fantastic. Sync was the best and I tried multiple apps but kept coming back.
I always used baconreader because I’m after really compact and full function with options. I don’t want giant image cards because I’m ten million years old (I’m not, I just like the outcome of having to design around simplicity and efficiency).
However, an actual app? Made by a popular, experienced, and successful app dev? I will 100% pay for and use that even though it’s not my preferred design philosophy.
Lemmy and kbin are… alright as they are, but chrome is such a pos for multitasking and I would really love some clarity and consistency to the ux design across different instances and more and better options.
What I really want, ideally, is baconreader to make a universal fediverse app - but the likelihood of anybody making a universal app and that’s good is very low, let alone my favorite 3rd party reddit app dev that’s already said they don’t plan on it.
Try Jerboa if you’re on Android. It’s made by the Lemmy devs and has had an explosion of activity and growth since Rexxit.
SyncForLemmy sub is unavailable outside the app!
Yeah, that made me chuckle. Reddit is really trying to make sure I move on completely.
I like how they imply viewing it in the app suddenly makes the subreddit safe. They use the same trick in NSFW subreddits to get people to install thier app.
Lemmy is cool and all so far… Hopefully the other communities make it over here.
If you want a particular community you can create it!
Be the change you want to see and create it. People will come
Create them! We won’t judge you!
…don’t judge mine
I created a sublemmy for PhotoshopRequest. Please spread the word as it’ll help. Thanks! You may check it here
I think we should stick to calling them communities. That is an apt description of what they are and I don’t see the point in trying desperately to replicate everything reddit.
Yeah plus it makes sense given the /c/
I agree
Stupid question, but what’s the difference between kbin and lemmy? I thought kbin was a lemmy instance.
Think of it as GMail and Yahoo! Mail. It’s still emails at the end of the day but the UI looks different and their servers are definitely different.
I hope instances are preparing for the 2nd wave of Reddit migrants on June 30th
We need more instances, not bigger ones. Sync should try to promote smaller ones, or even host their own.
I think many of them have probably been gearing up for it.
What the fuck is this bullshit?
