I would absolutely love to implement swipe to go forward, it was one of my favorite features. I’ve tried to search how one would implement that, but so far I haven’t found anything useful sadly :(
If an iOS developer reads this and has suggestions on how this could be implemented, I would love to have a chat!
It’s written in React Native, with some Swift modules here and there. I wrote down some more in depth behind the scenes in a previous post.
Hmm strange… I waited with the announcement post until the new version (v0.0.5) got approved by Apple. But it seems that for most people v0.0.4 is the most recent version that they can download. Hopefully this will sort itself out in the coming days 🤞
The new version includes some bugfixes, like the cancel buttons not working, but also the ability to create / edit / delete posts

When Apollo shut down I really missed it in my day to day use, so initially this project started out as a personal project to see if I could replace that Apollo craving. Since then the development was going so well that I wanted to share it with the rest of the community as well.
Since then I’ve also build some things that imho are an improvement, for example:
It’s been really fun to work on, but now that the basis is quite stable I’ll look into features that make it more tailored to Lemmy
Thanks for the feedback! Initially this started out as a personal project, so most of the UI is tailored to my personal preference.
I’ll have a look at supporting better accessibility with regards to text sizes
Awesome to hear! I spent quite some time on getting the video player right, so I’m glad to hear people enjoy it (:
The fact that videos don’t play when you’re viewing a post is actually a dumb thing I forgot haha. Videos get a signal to auto play as soon as they get into view of a virtualized list, since it’s not in a list when viewing a post it actually never gets the signal 😅
I’ll make sure that this is fixed it the next release
From what I understood the API for Kbin is still work in progress. That makes it quite a bit more difficult to create a third party client, which might explain the lack of third party Kbin clients
Maybe at some point, since it sounds like a really interesting challenge. But I gotta be honest that it’s quite low on the list
No, it’s a client specifically built for Lemmy
It isn’t forked from any existing Lemmy client, I built it from the ground up myself. Took me a while to get it of the ground with enough features to make it usable in the day-to-day life, but I’m quite proud of the current state :D
The design has been greatly influenced by Apollo (like a lot of other Lemmy iOS apps), so there might of course be some similarities.
That form is indeed closed, but it was for the initial closed beta. As soon as Apple approves the newly uploaded version I will make it a public beta and share the link so that anybody can join.
I’m hoping that happens today, so stay tuned :D
Kind of a shameless plug, but you could have a look at !lemma@lemmy.world.
The ‘Share as Image’ feature is still work in progress, it doesn’t handle very long threads that well yet, but overall I think it’s working quite well already.
I pushed a new release yesterday, once that’s approved by Apple I will announce (and share) the public TestFlight link!
I can see where you’re coming from, since I have a separate page on my homescreen with all the iOS Lemmy apps as well, but I built this UI myself. However, I must admit that my design has been greatly influenced by Apollo (like a lot of other Lemmy iOS apps). In fact, I have a folder filled with Apollo screenshots that I captured before it went offline, using them as a source of inspiration. While I genuinely believe that Memmy is an exceptional app with a lot of features that I haven’t even built yet, my main objective was to challenge myself into building an app that has the same native iOS feeling like Apollo.
That’s definitely on my list! Together with Share as Image, those two were my absolute favorite features of Apollo
I get it, right now it’s not perfect, but I’m starting with a closed beta to work out the kinks first. Once we’ve got that sorted, anyone can hop in and join the beta with a simple link (:
Edit: It is indeed like @mrmoj0rising said a way for me to invite people to the group in TestFlight. I’m pretty new to publishing apps on TestFlight too, so I’m still learning as I go but I figured this was the best way to start.
It is written in React Native, with some self made Swift modules here and there. I wrote some background info in a previous post if you’re interested (:
