Finally!
(lemm.ee)
We have Memmy which is pretty damn close.
Don’t forget voyager, it’s pretty much identical.
Mehhhhh. I know it’s a PWA but I’d still rather a native app.
If you’re on iOS there’s a native app in beta on TestFlight. https://testflight.apple.com/join/nWLw1MBM
Thank you! First impression of that app is really good.
Edit after a day’s use: it really scratches that itch. Smooth scrolling, looks great
Memmy gang, represent
Team Memmy. It’s freaking great. And the amount of updates they post to the test channel. Fantastic. It’s nice logging in once a day and seeing some cool functionality pushed out.
Was gonna say, Memmy may as well be an Apollo fork from a couple years ago.
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.
Is it truly native build with Swift? Or is it repackaged pwa?
It’s a repackaged PWA using a web view for everything, using capacitor i believe
Agreed! Sadly, I have seen it reported that the actual app version has the random freeze as well. Hopefully that’s able to be resolved now that its an app.
voyager is basically apollo already tbh
Doesn’t look like it’s available in the app store
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!)

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!
i heard it was submitted to play store too

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.
Reddit would go after apps having Reddit in the name.
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

Honestly, I don't know if half the ultra casual users would even notice.

RIF users too, talklittle made an app for tildes but blegg.
Man, do I miss Apollo.....at least I can use Sync on my galaxy tablet
Christian released a beans wallpaper so maybe Apollo for lemmy is coming?
Beans….lemmy…what’s the connection??
There was a post where a people just upvoted a can of beans
It would make so much sense…for Apollo to just handle Lemmy
I’ve actually figured it out.
Reddit.API replace with Lemmy.API. We’re in!
lol we’re one regex away from going back to peak iOS app support!
I still forget and open the app every now and then. Memmy is really close, im very happy with it.
Hey don't have to tell me, my last app was Joey. Liftoff is doing pretty well for me though.
I actually got my sync to look like a better version of Baconreader, needless to say I'm pretty happy!
Cries in Boost
Sync for kbin when
I couldn't find the API for Kbin, so that's unlikely to happen soon
As I understand it, the API is still in progress. Planned eventually but the service itself is still somewhat a beta.
I heard something about the API coming out in the next month or so.
There’s Beans, another client that’s trying to do the whole ‘iOS’ aesthetic (though in a way that’s unlike Apollo) and Memmy, which borrows a lot of Apollo’s design aesthetic.
