inifinity for lemmy. when?

pls pls pls pls

Please let that also be a Lemmy instance, Lemmy needs horizontal distributed scaling.

[–] Contestant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is how I've been thinking Lemmy can scale. Sync can host their own instance funded by premium subscribers. In other cases, a group of friends with common local interests can host an instance with their local channels plus caching posts on other instances, and peoppe could connect to that or lemmy.world for free and see the same content.

[–] Karl_L@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Man, I love sync and can't wait to continue using it.

What do we have to do to convince Christian Selig to make Apollo for Lemmy?

[–] RandallFlagg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I already pay for Apollo, I'd happily keep paying for Apollo for Lemmy, I'm sure tons of users would.

[–] Umbra@dormi.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Try wefwef, it’s very similar to Apollo

[–] KuroJ@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

Limbo https://testflight.apple.com/join/e6ZEbxuR

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago

Love Sync, but I wish Infinity also implemented Lemmy support.

[–] theory@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

You already have like 3 apps. We have jerboa. Jerboa.

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Lemmy is Fun

[–] hyorvenn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Time to join us Android bros

[–] Pixlbabble@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Isn't it always. lol

[–] streetman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (8 children)

As a fellow iOS user, Memmy is pretty sweet for a version 0.0 beta app.

[–] emi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Both memmy and mlem have been great in their own ways thus far. Both are in testflight and getting regular updates, in addition to the news about sync there is also news about another new one called artemis that is aiming to be apollo styled.

[–] NocturnalNebula@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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!

[–] lesnake@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Im using jerboa and it looks great!

[–] MarsAgainstVenus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I’ve been testing both and I definitely prefer Memmy overall. Mlem has better image display options and has search. Memmy doesn’t display images unless you tap on the post. Search should be released in the next day or two, though.

Artemis being an Apollo clone had me very excited, though.

Edit: new app just released on TestFlight showing real promise: Limbo

[–] _finger_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Limbo feels very Apollo

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.

[–] Willdrick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

just a PSA, remember you can still use Lemmy as a PWA ("install" lemmy.world from safari as a shortcut)

[–] mamalapandu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, Limbo seems pretty advanced compared to lemmy and memmy, thanks for sharing.

[–] broadbean@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Actually pretty impressed on first impressions!

[–] psycrow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (12 children)

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.

Just waiting for Christian to announce he's rewriting Apollo....

[–] Facoris@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Man the ad for lemmy if he announced it with a pop up on Apollo reddit opening

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

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.
