We have Memmy which is pretty damn close.
If you’re on iOS there’s a native app in beta on TestFlight. https://testflight.apple.com/join/nWLw1MBM
Themes were added 3 days ago, currently on not-pure-black mode again. Now only missing the last 2% of features, which will come soon when the native app is released. But because it’s a PWA I can use it on desktop, so by that metric it’s already better than Apollo which I though I would never be able to say.
Voyager is “cleaner” looking, but Memmy is a native app which prob trumps that. That little rando freeze on voyager gets annoying after awhile
Voyager is getting an iOS native version. There’s a TestFlight version out right now, it’s really neat. Definitely scratches that Apollo itch.
voyager is basically apollo already tbh
https://vger.app it’s a web app, there is an iOS TestFlight build that fixes a few of the bugs that running in safari introduces (and it has haptics!)
Lemmy.world has a voyager instance right on their server. https://m.lemmy.world
It looks too iOSy to my liking (and not a fan of the android theme). Solid app tho.
Edit: it seems I ruffled some feathers. The authentic reddit experience is complete.
Voyager is the apollo replacement, it rocks!
It’s awesome, I used it for a while. But I like native apps more. Also, does it have notifications? I don’t remember ever getting one.
Voyager has an app in TestFlight right now. Not sure what you consider native, but it uses the ionic framework. I stopped using the PWA on iOS due to a scrolling bug that couldn’t be fixed by the voyager dev. The ionic version seems to working well so far though!
Browse to https://vger.app . It’s a webapp, it’s great, much more privacy friendly than having to install a whole native app to just browse.
Honestly, it would be an amazingly trojan-horse way to drive reddit users to Lemmy. Leave Sync for Reddit up, and then just have it be a redirect to Lemmy under the hood, maybe even use the API to “migrate” people over - if only for copying their username and some basic data.
That was kind of the issue to begin with. That’s why it’s “For Reddit”. Google even had this stupid naming scheme because “Reddit Is Fun” existed at the time, and they even had to change to “RiF For Reddit”. The “For Reddit” part already mitigates that worry - as I understand, that was the entire point of Google enforcing that policy to begin with.
And honestly I’m just kind of being wishy about it. I’d have loved to see all of the Reddit apps basically Trojan horse their users into Lemmy rather than simply shut down. We can dream can’t we? :P
Reddit made that change to apps not Google. I remember when they wanted to have all reddit clients be “for reddit” because they were about to put out the official app
RIF users too, talklittle made an app for tildes but blegg.
Connect is the new rif
