Looks good can’t sign up

It looks good but can’t make an account. Won’t ever validate a username as not taken so you can’t submit an application for an account

Seriously high quality

One of the best ways of interacting with lemmy by far. Very high quality and thoughtfully made app that’s just a joy to use.

Exceptionally good

It’s on par with Apollo for Reddit, who remembers that wonderful client. With this app, the whole Lemmy experience is just much better than it ever was with Reddit. I highly recommend. The only issue I have with it is the addictive nature of being part of some communities. But it’s in no way a fault of the app.

Mostly stable now, minor gripes

Its mostly solid now, a little customizablility for each feed type would be nice. Like bold text for headlines, when compared side to side with my setup for arctic, I liked that one slightly better because of that, otherwise they are mostly equal and I go back and forth between these 2, the best for ios

Yeah I prefer thunder and vyger for how they do the larger card view, its too big here, and the compact view is better in arctic. This one is stable and works as expected, the others can be buggy.

Great lemmy client

Finally! A legit iOS client for lemmy that is STILL actively maintained by the developer! So many lemmy clients have come and gone and been abandoned, but this lovely app is still going strong! Keep up the great work devs!
