Love Memmy, use it every day. I know the devs had to take some much-needed time off and I respect that 100%. That said, I keep selfishly wanting my favorite app to get better and am wondering if effort will resume soon? Or is the rewrite happening under the covers and we just don’t see the activity? Anyway thanks, just checking in on you guys.

Burnout usually takes more than a few weeks to recover from, just fyi. Can't say what's up other than the public information.

I’d love for Memmy to have ability to take me to the actual reply I select from my inbox instead of a random point in the post or not crash after editing a comment multiple times or scroll to the correct point when I select the button that takes you to the next top comment but I’ve accepted it may never get fixed and another more actively developed iOS app will come along.

I think they burned out and are taking time off. Free app so no real obligation to anyone, but I’ve moved on for now.

To which app?

[-] Veedem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bean

My progression has been voyager(mobile)>bean(i paid for that lmao)>thunder which has been by far the most smooth and feature rich. ive tried all the other available ios apps as well (lemmios, avelon, etc.) but thunder has been better than any ive paid for or contributed to so far. i still want memmy to succeed and become even more feature rich but i def get that it’s prob not the devs main priority, especially being a free app. check out some others in the meantime! i still occasionally cycle thru them all. i dont think lemmy will blow up fully until there is a pristine ios experience.

+1 for Thunder.

[-] danielton@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I like Thunder, since it is the most like ReddPlanet, the app I was using as my main when the APIcalypse happened, but I run into issues trying to reply to comments.

[-] pendingdeletion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You run into issues with Thunder or ReddPlanet?

[-] danielton@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Thunder. I often get an error saying it's unable to find the post to comment to. ReddPlanet doesn't work anymore thanks to spez.

Unfortunately I’ve just given up at this point, with around 30 days left till the TestFlight expires there doesn’t seem to be anything happening at all

I’ve moved on to trying other apps, currently it’s Voyager and it’s quite solid

[-] ebits21@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Voyager and Avelon are quite solid imo. I’ll be back if Memmy comes back alive but the devs don’t even seem to be using Lemmy at all so not holding my breath.

Once the TestFlight runs out I’ll likely not install the App Store version.
