Love Memmy, use it every day. I know the devs had to take some much-needed time off and I respect that 100%. That said, I keep selfishly wanting my favorite app to get better and am wondering if effort will resume soon? Or is the rewrite happening under the covers and we just don’t see the activity? Anyway thanks, just checking in on you guys.

    I’d love for Memmy to have ability to take me to the actual reply I select from my inbox instead of a random point in the post or not crash after editing a comment multiple times or scroll to the correct point when I select the button that takes you to the next top comment but I’ve accepted it may never get fixed and another more actively developed iOS app will come along.

    I think they burned out and are taking time off. Free app so no real obligation to anyone, but I’ve moved on for now.

    My progression has been voyager(mobile)>bean(i paid for that lmao)>thunder which has been by far the most smooth and feature rich. ive tried all the other available ios apps as well (lemmios, avelon, etc.) but thunder has been better than any ive paid for or contributed to so far. i still want memmy to succeed and become even more feature rich but i def get that it’s prob not the devs main priority, especially being a free app. check out some others in the meantime! i still occasionally cycle thru them all. i dont think lemmy will blow up fully until there is a pristine ios experience.

    I’m still having so many crashes and basic UX issues (still don’t get context when clicking comments or replies, editing comments is a crap shoot, notifications mean nothing, posts crash to a non-recoverable screen even though they load fine in a browser, etc) I’m giving up.

    It’s been a good run, and I’m very sad to move on. I’ve used Memmy since nearly day 1 and I really loved this app. I could tell the devs were giving us their best for a while. It reminded me most of my beloved Apollo, and it’s such a shame – perhaps the volume is just too much for the team?

    But the issues with the app are preventing me from using Lemmy like I want to, so I’m going to have to bail.

    I wish all the best for the devs, but there are too many fundamental issues, long-standing bugs, and UX issues for me. Peace.

    e: added a new bug, marked by asterisk (OR NOT, because it only keeps some text during an edit now?!? WTAF, how does that even happen? Wrong regex? I’m done.

    e2: I think it’s keeping edits at the end, but not in the middle. The bug I was trying to add was a hard crash any time I try to make a new post. Adding in case anyone cares.

      Yeah, I’ve moved on to Avelon and it’s really good. I remember when dev on Memmy was going at a breakneck pace, we the users were imploring them to slow down and not burn out. It’s a shame but a tale as old as internet time.
