I’m currently trying Voyager. Initial impression is that it seems like a great app.

Here is a shameless plug for my own Lemmy app Arctic. It’s not left TestFlight just yet, but it hopefully will soon. It’s a pure Swift based app built with performance and content presentation in mind.

More information is available over at !arctic@lemmy.world

I just tried it, and at first look, it seems great!

There’s one thing that I need to use it long term, and that’s a way to collapse comments to get to the next parent. Doesn’t matter to me if it’s a button or a swipe, as long as there’s a way to skip out of a long comment chain and get to the next parent.

Thanks for the work so far!

Thank you!

I implemented collapsible comment chains in v0.2.1 which should be out within the next day or two. I added settings as well to choose between (tap|swipe|both|disabled) for the feature. I’ve been testing it for a few days and it seems to be working great.

I’m also working on a feature to automatically collapse low score chains when opening a post, though that needs some work and likely won’t be included in this next release.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hey, downloaded and tested for a bit, looks brilliant!

Will there be an option to move the compact images to the right? My wee thumb struggles reaching over the phone to the left and I prefer it to the card look.

Thank you, much appreciated!

Yes, I’ll definitely add that option in. I actually broke a few things with the compact cells while working on some performance optimization yesterday, so I have some work to do on those anyway. I was also planning to add a medium cell option as well.

This will all be included in v0.2.1 which should be out within a couple of days.

Thank you for checking Arctic out, and for the suggestion.

I never used Apollo. Back when I used Reddit I just used the official app. Glad to see some Lemmy apps have left TestFlight though.

How could you do this to yourself?

It’s on my Home Screen, but I wish it was easy to send images. That’s the only major downside, trying to share an image from Lemmy only shares a link.

Avelon is also a really nice one. All Swift too I think.

Kind of a shameless plug, but you could have a look at !lemma@lemmy.world.

The ‘Share as Image’ feature is still work in progress, it doesn’t handle very long threads that well yet, but overall I think it’s working quite well already.

I pushed a new release yesterday, once that’s approved by Apple I will announce (and share) the public TestFlight link!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemma@lemmy.world

Hey, I went to your community and tried to fill out the form to get on the TestFlight, but it said it was closed.

That form is indeed closed, but it was for the initial closed beta. As soon as Apple approves the newly uploaded version I will make it a public beta and share the link so that anybody can join.

I’m hoping that happens today, so stay tuned :D

Hadn’t heard of Lemma but now I’ll definitely TestFlight it when the public beta is out. Looks like a great competitor. Thanks for the plug.

I started with Mlem, then Memmy, tried Thunder, Limbo, the Voyager web app. The new Voyager app definitely seems the most polished. I will say though, a new discovery and my primary lately has been Avelon. It is buttery smooth and many options in the settings. One that was missing from Apollo was the “mark above as read” option for posts, which is present on this app.

Definitely give it a try: https://testflight.apple.com/join/IzB0ZiBO

Thanks for the suggestion. I am trying it out now and it seems pretty solid. I’m not sure the customization features are worth a subscription yet for me, but if they end up adding moderator functions, that might make it my new favorite.
