So, Memmy is broke abandonware now, huh?

3 years ago by WhatAmLemmy to c/memmy

Broke timestamps. Everywhere. New replies will show "10 hrs" while the original comment will show "18 mins".

When viewing posts I see tons of phantom comments that seemingly have nothing to do with the post or are replying to something when they appear at the top level. Navigating to the post in a web browser shows dozens more comments (not from users I've blocked or anything).

Formatting of content across posts and comments doesn't match what the site does when I view it in the browser.

Thanks to the Memmy dev and any contributors, but broken software is broken software.

So, what's the best alternative these days?

Voyager is becoming the leader, is FOSS and actively developed by a large community. I also like Arctic which is developed by a single person but is really nice as well and has iOS notifications.

I'm commenting from Voyager now. Much better than it was a few months ago!

I gave up on memmy months ago because it was randomly crashing. The release schedule even back then was once a month at best.

I switched to the voyager “native” app (not the pwa) and it has been absolutely flawless with lots of updates.

Voyager is almost perfect, I only wish it had an iPad landscape-optimized interface (like Arctic).

I think this also might be the only iOS app that lets you view mod reports as well. I’m all about Voyager these days!

Arctic was the first iOS app to get mod features, voyager wasn’t far behind though.

Everyone is saying Voyager and Arctic, and rightfully so, they are amazing apps. But I just wanted to say Mlem has also become really great.

I moved from memmy to voyager and honestly it is a far better app. Memmy was too buggy and the dev basically abandoned it.

Isn’t Voyager like, just a rebranding of Memmy? I feel like I remember seeing “Download the Voyager App” inside of my Memmy webapp.

macarthur_park 10 points 3 years ago

Nah it’s developed by a different person. I believe the developer of Memmy said that voyager was his favorite alternative and recommended people switch to it when they had issues with Memmy.

Voyager was initially called wefwef and was as only a WPA / web app. It’s still available as web app but also has an AppStore version which is really nice as you can keep the same interface on any device you use.

There are a lot of similarities, I don’t think it is a rebranding of Memmy.

That was already solved in the other replies, it was WefWef instead of Memmy.

No, Voyager took all its cues initially from Apollo the Reddit app. No idea what memmy was doing 🤷

Dariusmiles2123 4 points 3 years ago

I’m also using Memmy and I’m enjoying it so far.

The only problems I’m having is when someone replies directly to one of my messages. I don’t know why but I’m often not able to reply unless I load all the comments.

Also deleting the unread replies is complicated.

I might switch in the future but I’d just prefer if these issues were solved 😅

Finally, after trying Voyager, I guess I’ll move to that one.

As of the recent Lemmy update I’ve been having a bit of issues but it’s still running ok. Definitely some bugs creeping in but hopefully the devs feel less burnt out soon and can keep it working, even if they aren’t upgrading.

Definitely not perfect, but besides for a brief hiatus the dev is still pushing out updates and actively listening to the community for feedback. 90% of the issues I've had have been resolved at this point.

I moved to Arctic months ago. It’s in continuous development with updates happening weekly or so, fixing bugs and making improvements. I’m very happy with it. Another commenter linked the community.

Thunder and Arctic are my go-to’s. Thunder because it looks different than the rest of the apps that try to emulate Apollo, and Arctic because it can embed and play videos/gifs from inside the app.
