Are we just stuck with browsers for the time being? I mean it works but fuck I miss Apollo already.
You can use MLEM It’s still in test flight, but works pretty OK.
Here’s the testflight page: https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc
Mlem is being developed but is in a very early stage.
I’m using Mlem through TestFlight. Works pretty well, crashes sometimes but I’m not sure that’s not just because I’m on IOS 17 dev beta.
I’m working on building my own app for it too in Flutter, but Mlem seems to be the only option available as of now
Interesting, are you planning on an open source/free app?

in beta at the moment. personally I’m just sticking with the web ui
I’m just going to add that the web ui on mobile is great. Good enough that I’ve stopped using mlem. Mlem doesn’t show you the different instances that users and communities are coming from which doesn’t really matter for users but is super annoying for communities, and the main dev said that’s intentional. It also shows you your “karma”, through what I’m assuming is just adding up the raw up/downvotes your posts/comments have accrued. Seeing that is what ultimately made me bounce, it seems like the complete antithesis of what Lemmy is trying to be about.
Also, while they’re working on adding a NSFW blur, it doesn’t exist yet and fuck seeing all that loli ai porn on my feed. I don’t mind having to scroll past stuff I’m not interested in, but come on at least blur it.
Finally the web ui has the rainbow indent lines, while there’s nothing but whitespace to indicate child comments on mlem. I’m sure they’ll fix most of the stuff up given time, but I’m not using it until they dump the cumulative karma tracking.
I used Mlem, it’s a test flight app, so it’s early in development, but it works fine enough. Crashes often, but that’s the only major issue I have.
Sadly Mlem won’t load (via Test Flight) on my 1st generation iPhone SE. The error says that Mlem requires iOS 16.
Novel idea: update your phone, so that it supports newer apps.
They can’t. iOS16 is not supported on 1st gen iPhone SE.
They mean buy a new phone.
You could beta test Mlem through TestFlight. It is a Lemmy app for iOS that works reasonably well for being brand new.
Could this work for fedia?
Sorry if this question is annoying I’m just newMlem only works with Lemmy instances. Fedia is a kbin instance. They’re similar, and federate together for messages, but it is different code, so different apps are needed. I don’t think there is a kbin app yet.
I’m using Mlem, but I keep trying to do the Apollo gestures I’m so used to, and getting frustrated.
I’m in the same boat. I’m also an iOS developer so I’ve got something in the works (:
