I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but threads or comments about Lemmy or the Fediverse get downvoted a lot on Reddit and trolls who claim that it’s “dogshit” and “not going anywhere” get systematically upvoted.
Some of those trolls get then exposed when you ask them what Lemmy instance they tried and one of them with whom I had a surreal exchange answered with something like “yeah ofc I used Lemmy, this is the instance: join-lemmy.org” 🤦♂️
It’s frustrating that these trolls keep contributing to the big lie that “Lemmy is not ready yet” and that there’s “no viable alternative to Reddit”.
This and the overwhelming number of comments being “against the mod protests” just prompts me to question whether there isn’t some brigading being organized straight from the Reddit HQ.
Have you tried Jerboa for Lemmy? It is not Apollo but it is comfortable and ads free
Memmy is in TestFlight if you fancied being a tester.
Same with mlem. It’s a little ahead of memmy in development right now.
Mlem has become really good since they updated the app two days ago.
They really need to fix some of their accessibility issues. Comment text cannot be resized which makes it impossible for me to use the app. Memmy respects the dynamic text sizing in iOS, so I’m using it for now. It’s not up to feature parity with Mlem but the developer is doing a great job with adding features.
Memmy also works natively on iPad. Mlem has just a zoomed iPhone version.
Beta full unfortunately at the moment it seems
Jerboa is for Android. Apollo is for iOS.
What I am using for android and its not RIF but it is not bad and allows me to join this community on mobile which is how I use social media.
I do constructive things on PC.
