They are honestly both good, but can’t beat the native ios experience.
For me it’s been a SHOWDOWN between Memmy and Mlem
At this point I’m just collecting them all, got to pump those download numbers!
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.
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.
I use voyager, but I love the name for mlem so I wish I could give it a try lol.
Yeah I liked the old name wefwef over voyager. It rolls off the tongue in a satisfying aspiration.
Bean: Hold my beer.
