This is exactly why I never pick iphones, because a good chunk of the time you miss out on all the niche things you can do on a smartphone.
My first smartphone ran Android 2.0 and back then apps were developed for iOS first. How the times have changed.

I never pic up an iPhone because Mac discontinued support for my $6000 editing computer within two years when they scrapped the mac towers and went laptop only.
Which one was that?
2011 Mac Pro, which was discontinued in 2012, while support for the design was fully discontinued in 2013, when mac decided it would completely change everything and focus on the trash can design.
I get upgrading and whatever the fuck, but this was supposed to be an upgradeable machine, like a user built pc, but then they just fucking dumped support within 2 years, which should be fucking criminal considering its outrageous price.
Lol we still have these an my company.
It doesn’t make my life as a network engineer hell at all, having to figure out how to make decade old technology fit into a fiber network in a windows environment.
They fit pretty well in the storage closet until the companies life cycle replacement sees them replaced with Windows machines.
You guys are getting new devices?
It’s nice that we can have all these choices for 3rd party clients that won’t end up getting screwed over due to a central authority.
You already have like 3 apps. We have jerboa. Jerboa.
Actually, a new Android client called Thunder has entered Alpha. It’s SEVERELY lacking in features as of now, though.
I like Flutter based apps, so that makes me happy. I saw it a couple of days ago and while it is lacking in features, it does feel nice to use and looks much better than Jerboa IMO.
There is also summit and connect
could you give a link for connect?
And Jerboa probably won’t be updated for a while with the devs so busy working on Lemmy.
Is jerboa first party?
It’s made by the main Lemmy developer, but it’s his personal project and not the official Lemmy android client. He’s been making some controversial commits on Jerboa in the past on the basis that it’s his personal project, so he can do as he please (unlike Lemmy which is funded by a foundation).
Can you elaborate on the “controversial commits”? I’m on iOS so haven’t been following anything on the Android side
Jerb!
Please clap.
Time to join us Android bros
As a fellow iOS user, Memmy is pretty sweet for a version 0.0 beta app.
Really enjoying Memmy too! Dev seems to be moving at a quick pace. The app is already functional and getting better each day
Yea I’m digging Memmy too!

Download Testflight then find the magic link to join the beta.
Yea it’s definitely a good start!
How have I not found this!?
I wanted to check out Mlem, but it’s full. Lemur I think is discontinued. There is one that’s coming called Artemis, but that’s not available yet.
Memmy is honestly just what I was looking for. Cheers!
Im using jerboa and it looks great!
Would you like a more ‘Material’ lemmy app on iOS??
No
Memmy in case anybody wants to join the TestFlight!

Been using sync (paid) for over 10 years, will instantly buy a Lemmy version
I’ve never used sync, what makes it compelling?
Happy for Android users, but for those that don’t know, on iOS, we have three apps in beta we can download, and all three are very good with the current state they are in. I suggest giving anyone of them a try.
Memmy Join the Memmy App beta - TestFlight - Apple https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD
Mlem Join the Mlem beta - Testing Apps with TestFlight https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc
Thank you! mlem beta is full but was able to get into the others.
The official community is on Lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
There’s also a subreddit r/syncforlemmy
I dare say he’ll be wanting to get out a functional app before implementing things like support for Kbin. Bjt it’s worth requesting it as the more who, perhaps the more priority it will get.
just a PSA, remember you can still use Lemmy as a PWA (“install” lemmy.world from safari as a shortcut)
What do we have to do to convince Christian Selig to make Apollo for Lemmy?
Try wefwef, it’s very similar to Apollo
I mean sync had and iOS version so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
I have been using Limbo which feels pretty good. https://testflight.apple.com/join/e6ZEbxuR
Wow, Limbo seems pretty advanced compared to lemmy and memmy, thanks for sharing.
Actually pretty impressed on first impressions!
SHIT. THIS IS AWESOME !!!
Just waiting for Christian to announce he’s rewriting Apollo…
Man the ad for lemmy if he announced it with a pop up on Apollo reddit opening
That would make spez so incredibly angry. And then promoting it on reddit in his subreddit and then people posting it to the apple sub would make me not surprised if he banned Apollo sub out of anger.
After everything that happened, let the man enjoy his forced vacation for like a year before going back into the fray.
Same! I hope he’s considering it… Lemmy + Apollo would make it 1000x more attractive for Reddit users to enjoy Reddit without the management team’s constant fuckery.
So what does this mean?
