PSA: Lemmy kind of has a mobile app for iOS

3 years ago by AlexWIWA to c/lemmy

I'm stretching the definition of "app" here but Lemmy appears to be a progressive web app, so if you click "add to home screen" in iOS then the icon for Lemmy will open up a captive web browser that behaves like any other app.

It's not as fast as an actual app, but it feels very similar to using one. Most apps are just react-native these days anyway.

There is Memmy as well but the setup process and development period might be a bit much for some people

This is the best app I've tried so far. Highly recommend it.

Wanted to say that Memmy has been a breeze and it's been fantastic to use. Very reminiscent of Apollo!

There’s also Mlem which you can get via TestFlight.

Don't you need to get Memmy through test flight as well?

I think so, but I believe it’s about to launch on the App Store.

I’m enjoying Mlem atm. It’s still missing some major features but as long as it’s not Reddit I’m happy to wait :)

I tried this but the experience isn’t great. Not sure if it’s a Lemmy issue or iOS but when I open a post, then go back, my homepage refreshes and sends me back to the top. It doesn’t seem to happen in safari but at least there, I can just open posts in a new tab.

There are several in beta currently.

I predominantly use Memmy, but I’ve been testing out Mlem, Liftoff, and Thunder as well.

Yeah that's Lemmy. Does it on desktop too. I'd prefer pagination

Fin el humano:. Algo estoy haciendo con mi familia (especialmente mi mamá), y aunque salgas de casa, pero ten cuidado con la linterna en un momento bastante incómodo.
