I’m testing 5 different iOS apps right now and Memmy is my favorite so far too! That said, I do like all the other clients and I think they aren’t far behind either. Props to all the devs putting in the work!
I tested a bunch of them too, and I also ended up getting access to Artemis for kbin, but I ended up leaving the Mlem TestFlight to give someone else a chance to try it, since I like Memmy. I’m sure Mlem will turn out to be an amazing app as well!
Thunder and Liftoff are interesting because they’re kind of like Android apps, but I like them too
They detected that you must be too poor to be worth supporting. It’s simple economics. They needed to be able to balance out the incredible infrastructure costs you were bound to incur.
I mean that Lemmy feels like Reddit on a slow content week, not anything against wefwef. Wefwef is fantastic and gets even better every 12 hours or so; Lemmy still needs a lot more users/content before it feels like actual Reddit
Forgive me for being uneducated but whats the difference between the lemmy domains? Would I have to make another account registered to a different domain for other content?
From a functionality perspective there is no difference. I’m registered to a Dutch server with this account and can comment on all OPs that are visible to me.
The administrator of a server (domain or instance) can block other servers (domains or instances) however. So if Meta not only starts it’s own Twitter-like platform, but also it’s own Reddit-like platform, it could be that administrators block access to the Meta server.
The best example for Mastodon (which uses the same federation protocol as Lemmy) is the Truth Social platform on which former president Trump publishes his posts. The administrators of Truth Social blocked access to all other servers on the fediverse, so Truth Social doesn’t federate at all. And I presume administrators of many other servers block access to Truth Social.
So from that aspect, you might think through on what server you register. Might the administrator block access to certain servers? Do you want that or not? etc.
But you can also take location into consideration with regard to legal questions. I personally do not want to register on a server in certain countries if for example the GDPR is not enforceable.
Which, by the way, is also a great way to verify certain people. If a Lemmy account is registered on a server with a domain that is owned by a large broadcast company for example, it’s easy to check whether the user of that account is who that person claims to be.
The municipality of Amsterdam set up their own Mastodon server registered to amsterdam.nl, so it’s clear their Mastodon posts are genuinely from the municipality without any external verification schedule. If the mayor would want to post herself, she could simply get an account on that server and everybody knows it’s genuinely her.
It’s being actively developed right now. If your into software development it’s fun watching it being built on GitHub.
Apollo wasn’t built into what it was overnight. It took years. I know wefwef isn’t Apollo but it feels similar and is on its way to becoming feature-rich like Apollo once was.
Exactly. It’s also impressive how fast the development is, especially when the project founder was still doing all of it by himself. Within something like a week, he built my favorite lemmy experience.
I wish the instances themselves had good web interfaces. It might attract way more users.
On mobile you can use extensions like uBlock Origin (content blocker) or Stylus (CSS injector) if you use some specific browsers, and use youtube.com in those: Firefox, Yandex Browser (ugh I know), or Kiwi Browser (Android-only). It’s a mess, I know, but it’s a solution.
Thanks. It’s helpful, uBlock Origin etc didn’t do much on my mobile devices, but I haven’t looked into Firefox or the other ones for the mobile devices.
