Memmy has been a great fill-in, as has Lemmios. Memmy is probably a little further along, but both are definitely “Apollo-inspired” and both have been nice to use. Still some features missing that I have to come to the site for.
If only, perhaps the Apollo developer will do a Lemmy client in time, I think for now he’s taking a moment to himself. Memmy is a pretty good iOS client.
It’s good but Apollo has a level of polish that won’t be replicated for a while. It looks like Apollo, but it doesn’t 100% feel like it. Apollo for Lemmy would still be better than all of our current options imo.
Hopefully the native version, coming soon, will be a bit smoother than the pwa and have better integration with the OS.
It’s probably the best pwa I’ve ever used, but it’s still a pwa. And the native version will still just be a wrapper on the pwa, but it has the potential to be better.
Still, Apollo was around for a while which means it’s had more time for polish, and it had a lot more users, which meant more support, motivation, and money for development, as well as more people to submit feature requests and bug reports.
Indeed. It was a native app and it was such a polished gem. Christian’s vision from the beginning was to make the perfect Reddit IOS app for Reddit and he made it happen.
Now do Apollo for Lemmy!
Memmy is aiming to be Apollo for Lemmy.
Open-source and ad-free.

Voyager is basically that. It’s on test flight or as a PWA on Lemmy.world
