I’ve been trying to use mlem now for about a week and I just find that it lacks a lot of very basic functionality. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it’s all new and everyone’s scrambling to build and improve, I’m not faulting the mlem devs here. But until things like copy/paste work and notifications exist, the mobile Lemmy site is better but also worse in many respects.
Are there any other iOS apps out there or under development that I should be on the lookout for?
EDIT: I’ve amended the title of the post to better reflect my intention here. Folks seem to be misunderstanding the intent here. I’m not blaming mlem, memmy or any other project out there for failing to create something “good”. All these apps and the ecosystem are new and still rapidly evolving, I get that. I’m just trying to hunt around and see what’s available that might not be listed on the official apps page yet.
Also chiming in to suggest Memmy (which it seems like you’ve used already).
Within the last week alone there have been some quite significant QoL updates and I’m happy testing it further.
Memmy is very new but is rapidly being developed.
The issue with notifications is that Lemmy doesn’t yet support push notifications itself. There’s a ticket open for this, but it hasn’t been worked on (iirc).
What are you specifically looking for in an iOS app, if I could ask? Any quality of life features you wish it had? 👀
The two things I need are notifications (not push, just an indication on screen that I have a notification like I get on the web app) and copy/paste. Neither of these things seem present.
I’ve been using Mlem and Memmy. Both have their positives and also issues. They are also both receiving regular updates improvements.
I’m still trying out Memmy and Mlem (I prefer the former so far), but I hear the PWA isn’t bad, either.
