      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

      Here is a list of Apps coming to Lemmy:

      https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/71764

      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.)

      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).

      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.

    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.
