They are honestly both good, but can’t beat the native ios experience.

      Trying Mlem for the first time, the only thing that bothers me is that it shows total post scores and not individual numbers for up/down votes. I like seeing when something is controversial vs ignored.

        Funny you should mention that, I’m actually working on implementing that exact feature right now! It’ll be out in the next build.

          That sounds great! I will be following the app’s progress for sure.

          By the way, the other thing that stood out was not being able to tap on an image and view just that image full screen. Being able to do that leads to things like zooming in on the image, or long pressing to copy/share it.

          You also included features I didn’t even know I wanted, like the privacy option to hide your username. You’re doing good work, my friend. o7

        That, plus the zooming didn’t work well

        I’m an idiot, though. I was in the TestFlight beta, then left it when they released it to the App Store (before realizing that the TestFlight beta would be ongoing and get earlier releases than the App Store version). That is to say — it’s probably already fixed.

        It’s coming! We’ve got development slated to start early August, it should enter TestFlight beta sometime shortly after then.

            Good news–we decided that “some support is better than none,” and quietly released the iPad app to the App Store as well. It’s not perfect–we’re pretty heavily leaning on SwiftUI’s automagic cross-platform–and while we finish filling out our core features it’s not going to get much dev time, but come 1.2 we’ll make it all nice and shiny

              Okay, thanks! I grabbed it and two things: switching accounts is terrible, and it’s making me nuts that I can’t swipe right to get back to the feed list (the “back” button isn’t doing it for me).

        There already is an iPad version! It’s in the App Store release! It’s also there in the GitHub version

      Ok good, I’m not the only one! Feel like Mlem doesn’t get enough love! I like Memmy too, don’t get me wrong.

        Interesting — is the former compiled? Seems smoother vs Swift UI, which is the opposite of what I’d expect for something that sounds like it has more bloat (React).

          In theory swift should be smoother, but in reality React Native is good enough for it to be really smooth. It comes down to the coding itself.

            Hm, yeah. The comment collapsing, for example, is animated in Mlem, whereas in Memmy it’s a simple disappear/ appear transition.

            The latter makes Memmy feel more snappy, even though Mlem’s smooth animation is actually kind of more impressive from a pure performance point of view.

              Yeah that’s true. React native do support very smooth transitions as well though. Another app that is extremely smooth - albeit not as complete as Mlem or Memmy is Beans for Lemmy. I do believe it’s written in Swift as well.

                Avelon is also another that I believe is Swift. It’s smoother than both Lemmy and Mlem, but lacks swipe actions at the moment, which turns out to make it unusable for me.

        Yeah I liked the old name wefwef over voyager. It rolls off the tongue in a satisfying aspiration.

          Ngl I prefer Voyager as a name over Wefwef lol. But I like the word voyager in general so I might he biased.

      I use all three (Voyager/WefWef being the third)! Sometimes one does something better than the others or has a feature I need.
