After Apollo for Reddit was wiped from the face of the earth together with most third party reddit clients, there has been an empty void as Apollo was pretty much the only social media app I used.

Downloaded and played around in Memmy for a bit and OMG this app is beautiful.

PS: Thank you so much for also being back the swipe to Upvote/Downvote feature. I discovered it on accident by muscle memory from Apollo 😏👌🏻

    ALSO: Kuddos for the amazingly simple analogy of hubs and emails for the startup screen, made setting up Lemmy for the first time such a breeze 💪🏻

    Just downloaded and this makes me very hopeful for the future. Feels like a new home after Apollo.

      Yup, the community here and now this brilliant app as a start is pretty amazing. To get something so functional already in just a couple of weeks is nothing short of great.

    It does exactly everything that I need it to do. I know I am a simple user, but I’m sure it will only get better from here.

      For a first time user, I was previously very optimistic to try Lemmy on the desktop but it felt so overwhelming and confusing for me - from setting up a base account and everything. Memmy dumbed it down enough for me to get started and understand how the hell Lemmy works.

      If you go into your lemmy account on PC or possibly in your phone’s browser. Turn off ‘show read posts’, then Save.

      Each post that you open, look at a picture or vote, will be gone. That works on the apps too, and on any logged inbrowser/computer. As a serial hider and hater of seeing the same posts, I love it.

      The day Memmy gets Apollos ‘scroll past’ to mark actually read, and not ‘app hidden’, we’ll be cookin’!

    Yes I love Memmy so far!

    Does anyone know how to sign out? I can’t see it in settings. Also dumb q but can Memmy connect to k.bin social? I made an account there, then got Memmy and made a new account here cuz I’m a lil lost lol

      It cannot connect a kbin account, yet. Kbin does not have an API to use to connect to the site, yet. There is an app called Artemis that is being developed that is using scraping to pull data from the site. It’s in private beta currently.

        Thankyou! The exact answer I needed. I’m happy here and like flicking between Memmy and kbin :) good luck to them building their new ap!

      You can delete an account from the account list.

      (To be technical about it, That’s a little different than signing out in that the api key issued will still be valid as Lemmy doesn’t provide a way to invalidate the key. I believe the only way to invalidate a Lemmy api key currently is to change your password)

    Using it to write this post! Overall not bad. A couple bugs to point out:

    1. Posts/Edits just hang on loading wheel, eventually reporting a JSON parsing error, but refreshing feed shows post/edit went through. Even canceling loading wheel screen after a second shows it went through.

    2. Cannot cause new alert bell to register read comments despite interaction.

    I’m sure there’ll be resolved (or I’m missing something in regards to 2).

    Glad to see Lemmy on my iPhone though. I don’t really care to interact with social media from my desktop.

    Thanks for the awesome app!!

      For #1 - that’s the instance lagging, this was happening to me on lemmy.world over the weekend constantly but when I switched to a not-bogged-down instance I haven’t had this issue. I think Gavin and the team are working on more clear error notifications to clarify what went wrong but that JSON error happens when the instance is straining.

      At least for the comments thing I think you have to manually click the read button on the top right of your inbox page.

      At least for now.

    This app is beautiful, clean, easy to use and elegant. After Apollo died I went through all the Third parties and even the Reddit app. I just couldn’t do it, this app is amazing. Thank you for all the work put into this!

    Looks and feels great. Wefwef is good too but not as responsive as a native app. We are taking off!
