I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.

      Not sure if you’ve tried Memmy yet on iOS, but I’m loving it so far and even though it’s in beta I’m able to do everything I need to do through the app!

      The apps currently in beta seem to be getting updated every day or so with improvements. I’m posting this using Memmy and it’s working fairly well. Both Memmy and Mlem need a bit more work before they’re ready to go to general release imho but the devs are doing great work.

      I don’t think it will be long before we have fully- functional apps in the App Store.

      Mlem and Memmy are having big updates everyday. Stick Apollo in a folder somewhere and replace the icon in its old position with one of those.

      Mlem scrolls like Apollo used to but it doesn’t have dark mode. Memmy has dark mode and swipe gestures but the feed is huge comparatively. Both receiving almost daily updates.

      (You need TestFlight from the Apple App Store since both apps are in beta)

      Jerboa reminds me a lot of Rif. There are some bugs like the list reseting but it’s mostly a good experience.
