Hey all. Replying from .world since...well you guys know.

Anyway, thank you for all your support over the past weeks. It's helped us get to this point.

A word of caution: The build that was released is slightly outdated and there are a few issues that have already been addressed in that build. Unfortunately because you can't replace the build in review, we were not able to update it as we went through this nearly week-long back and forth with Apple. It required an appeal to get us onto the store.

With that said, I'll be releasing the final version of 0.0.2 tonight to TestFlight, and will begin build versioning starting at 0.1.0, which will be the next release on the store. I'll try and have something submitted to them tonight and hopefully it will be reviewed and released within a day or so.

Cheers!

I don't even own an iOS device but I'm delighted that you and so many other devs have gone so hard at putting different apps out there.

They may not all take off, and users will likely graduate to a handful because of power laws and whatnot but that doesn't matter right now: you guys are shipping and you're giving us options. You all rock!

TeamAssimilation 23 points 3 years ago

I entered the TestFlight of Memmy, Mlem, Thunder and Liftoff!, and Memmy impressed me with the speed of development, stability, and feature addition. I love it.

Mlem is a close second, but it lacks QOL details that Memmy got right from the start. The other two are still at alpha level, but all of them are improving steadily.

The Fediverse, its ecosystem, and the passion developers and admins pour into it, it feels like an alternate Internet reality, but a better reality for a change.

I’ve also tried several betas and Memmy has been my personal favorite since nearly day one (first build didn’t have dark mode, haha, but like 12 hours later there was a second build with dark mode and I’ve been here ever since). And the devs are amazing.

This is an exciting time. I know the fediverse has been around for a while but it still feels like getting on the ground floor of something both brand new and also harkening back to the old internet. It’s awesome.

I just checked TestFlight, the last 0.0.1 update was build 80, and we’re currently on 0.0.2.17 which is insane for 22 days of development. I hope they know their work is appreciated

In case anyone didn’t see — the App Store version is slightly outdated from the current version in TestFlight. The dev (Gavin) posted about it a little while ago on this same thread

I’m probably going to hold off ‘til he gives the all clear on TestFlight but still exciting

I’m not a dev but there is a quick account switcher, just add in your accounts through settings and top center can switch accounts on the fly. I have 2 accounts and switch between the two when one instance is hiccuping. I know some others have a SFW and NSFW profile, haha.

If you have the TestFlight version, Gavin will still be pushing updates there first, but if you want the stable releases only, feel free to go to the App Store.

If you want to rate the app, you can’t do it with a TestFlight version so you have to go to the App Store version to rate it, but you can switch back after.
