Looking for something to fill the soon-to-be gaping hole that will be left in the absence of Apollo.

Been using Memmy and it’s very nice. The dev just added themes this morning (heavily under work) and he’s very responsive to bug reports. As others said you’ll need TestFlight to try it out. Cheers!

Mlem. Memmy. Lemon. Limbo.

I’m using limbo more to than other lately. But I use them all.

There are two candidates called mlem and memmy, which are currently available through TestFlight .

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

Neither of these are currently available on TestFlight. The links to sign up are broken.

Memmy is updated almost daily at this point, the App has come a long way just this week even

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

Memmy is my favorite of them all so far. Gestures are too good to lose after being an Apollohead. Dev has been killing it with updates too.

There are between 10 and 20 people actively working on the app in various capacities, there was an update on team structure couple of days ago - https://lemmy.ml/post/1372165 It is the original dev who is stepping down and who says he wasn’t actively involved with development for a while.

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds like the app is just transferring ownership and might rebrand.

Hope the developer is ok, sounds like this is weighing heavily on them.

The original author quit, but he said he handed over everything to other devs. So no need (yet) to state stuff like "going dark".

Check out wefwef. It’s really great! https://wefwef.app/

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

How’s it compare feature wise to Memmy?

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

It feels a lot more polished than Memmy and Mlem to me. Which is impressive since it’s a web app.

[–] urbanracer34@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Your handle seems very familiar. I think we may have crossed paths before on reddit?

I agree, Apollo's absence will leave a gaping hole.

Thanks, I figured it out!

[–] R05@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

thunder came out on test flight today as well

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

I’m using liftoff! right now, and it seems pretty polished. Looking forward to it being out of TestFlight.

[–] moosh@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Any thoughts on it compared to Memmy?

EDIT: trying Liftoff! now too.

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

I think I tried to get into that one, but the Test flight was full. There are plenty out there (I’m typing this with wefwef), but I think Liftoff is still my favorite.

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

I’m liking wefwef more. Liftoff has fallen into third place. Thunder is second. Memmy and wefwef tied for first. Mlem is definitely in last place since it doesn’t seem to be getting updates.

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

There are 3-4 active ones, I prefer Mlem so far.
