I’ve been following memmy which looks like it’s coming along very nicely. The dev has posted a few screenshots and videos with a preview of what it looks like.
I like Memmy as well, an alternative is the progressive web app wefwef which is also pretty good
Why are people expecting Mlem to be Apollo when it’s only been in development for a little over a month? Lemmy is fairly new, so prepare for lots of missing features, but also being along for the ride and watch the community and apps shape themselves.
Because Mlem sucks. It is an RSS feed viewer with commenting when it doesn’t crash.
I’ve been using mobile safari to browse, but I’d be fascinated to watch a tool build up from early days. However, I can’t find mlem on the App Store. Am I doing it wrong and there’s some kind of side loading involved?
Edit: it’s early so I forgot I can look things up online, not just the App Store. It’s in beta, thus TestFlight only. VERY early days!
The short answer is there isn't one. You got Mlem for iOS and Jerboa for android
I'm on Jerboa currently. I've been finding it very useable.
There isn't really an alternative to Mlem at present, so the only thing you can do is to make due with it for now and / or use the website. I mainly use the website at present because Mlem doesn't have a compact mode.
Ok thank you! Any suggestions on how you more smoothly navigate the website on mobile?
What problems are you facing on the website exactly? I'm just accessing my instance's website via Safari and it works pretty okay. I'd just recommend opening threads in a new tab, perhaps.
I’m mostly running into loading issues. I am also struggling to navigate and find “my feed” if you will. And I have noticed I have to click things several times before it acknowledges the request.
I’m having the same issue when upvoting in Safari. The upvote seems to register, then disappears, so I upvote again, rinse and repeat. I’ve switched to Mlem for now and it’s not having the same issue. (My instance is Beehaw, if that matters.)
That could be an issue with your instance being overloaded. I have similar issues with lemmy.ml through Jerboa and the website.
