❤️‍🔥 🎇 It’s finally here! And it will live on my home screen just like Apollo used to do. 🔥 ❤️‍🔥

Just spreading this news in case you’re like me and late to the good news :)

      That’s subjective. Wefwef is trying to clone Apollo for Reddit. It’s cross platform since it’s a PWA. Memmy is iOS only and seems to have more settings right now. If you’re used to Apollo give wefwef a shot!

        Memmy is a React/Expo app so it’s cross platform as well, the dev just hasn’t configured an Android build pipeline for it. Both have the same janky scrolling issues which is common across React apps.

        Wefwef is trying to clone Apollo for Reddit.

        Well the first sentence of memmys github description says that it’s “an Apollo-inspired iOS and Android client” so I’d say they’re doing the same^^

          Key difference in what i said: as of now, wefwef is more of a CLONE of Apollo. Everything is almost the same. Memmy is heavily inspired by, but looks and behaves differently in some ways. My opinion is wefwef looks more like a native iOS app. Neither is bad, and maybe I’m biased as I’m contributing to wefwef, but it’s all preference anyways :)

      I’m using both. On paper I like Memmy more, but it’s missing a couple of features present in Wefwef:

      1. Landscape mode.

      2. A way to display inline pics. If you’re a Memmy user wondering why sometimes you see comments without text or anything, that’s why. You’re not seeing a pic.

      But if Memmy had these two things, I don’t think I’d be using Wefwef much.

        memmy devs already confirmed on github that they won’t add inline pics as we see them on wefwef, mlem or browser. Instead they’ll try to add a link that says “show image” at the place where the image is supposed to be. Better than the situation now but still bad imho.
        That’s btw how wefwef handles pics in comments, mlem also shows the full pic here.

          Yep, that’d be alright to do it like this. It’s not knowing there’s a pic that’s the problem.

          Edit: just noticed it was added in the latest Testflight update. Nice!

            Is that different from the actual app store version? Because there I still don’t see it.
            btw I had to use wefwef to find your comment because memmy can only bring me to the thread but not to the specific comment^^

              The AppStore version will always be lagging behind by a few updates, I’m afraid. It takes time for Apple to validate a new AppStore build, unlike TestFlight builds.

                Shame, I uninstalled the testflight version after their comment that they won’t display inline pics like the other apps and now the beta is full^^
                How did they do it with the latest update? Is it a link which opens an image in a new window or is it sort of a spoiler tag view?

                    Hm but this is just like posts looked since I know Memmy. I was talking about actual inline pics in posts, not in comments, so text followed by a pic followed by more text.

                    In memmy that’s text followed by text followed by a link to an image like in your screenshot

                    Edit: This post for example should have an image around the middle of the post https://lemm.ee/post/523075

      I’m using wefwef and I switched back and forth between wefwef, memmy and mlem.
      Here are some things I considered:

      • Inline images are shown in posts(instead of linked to at the end): mlem, wefwef
      • Opening images and zooming them: memmy, wefwef
      • saving images: memmy (Edit: wefwef too since on of the latest updates)
      • Adjustable text size: memmy, wefwef
      • compact view is actually compact: wefwef, mlem (Edit: memmy too since the latest update)
      • jumping to comments from your inbox: wefwef , Memmy(kind of, shows comment chain of that specific post, but not highlights the comment and has no way of switching to all comments from there)
      • edit comments: wefwef, memmy

      As you can see, wefwef is present in all of these ^^ jumping to comment is a pretty big one for me, aswell as the inline images
