I don’t think that’s accurate. I something funny is going on with kbin that is causing fedidb to see one instance as two separate instances. So this number is about 50k too high.

Also, if I may be a little realistically pessimistic, for those hoping for continued growth. These things tend to happen in waves with deflations in between. It seems the Reddit wave has come to an end, and some drop in numbers might happen over the next few weeks or months. It’s natural, and I wouldn’t be dismayed by it at all. Events like the migration cause curiosity in some people who don’t settle. It’s fine.

Who knows what will happen going forward, Reddit it seems is still doing it’s bullshit it seems. But if you like it here, there’s plenty to focus on here to make this place happen. And we don’t need to worry too much about whether Reddit a dying or who’s winning.

Memmy on iOS is promising. Some bugs, but I see the intention (Apollo refugee).

[-] feifei@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

It’s good and has a lot of features. But it’s being developed for both android and iOS and therefore does not feel completely at home for iPhone. For example the frosted glass effect is missing. Mlem is a native iOS app and will be soon released on the App Store. I prefer to use that app, even if it is not at feature parity with Memmy yet.

Yeah, I’m waiting to see where we end up with Mlem before 100% committing to Memmy, but so far the latter feels more to my heart as a long time Apollo user.

Still, I have both installed, and alternate between the two to see new TestFlight updates and whatnot.

I’ve very much grown to love Memmy, but I think they are both already up there, getting awesome, so whichever one chooses, it’s probably going to feel good. Choice is always a treat to have!

Memmy is an iOS only app though. It would like pretty out of place on android as it is right now imo. And personally I find the design to be a little more clean than Mlem right now.

[-] feifei@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, I checked just now and you are right. I was sure they were using universal tools to build the app, because it does not feel iOS native. That’s weird and does not explain why it doesn’t fully follow the iOS design guidelines.
