  • Just commented the same lol they seem to be missing complimentary features at the moment. Memmy would be good if I could figure out how to see my subscribed communities and go directly to a community. Not sure if that feature is missing or buried. Mlem was a lot worse a week ago but now the only problem I’m having is I can’t get back to a post I’ve commented on if I get a reply. If that gets fixed, I’ll be happy with Mlem. Both are probably going to be great but I came from Apollo.
















  • I don’t think it’s inevitable Threads will have a better user experience than non-corporate apps. Meta has different goals and will optimize the user experience to drive profits. Look at how they continuously make Facebook and Instagram worse to drive engagement.

    Also, see Reddit. Apollo was one dude’s project that blows the official app out of the water. And all the other apps scrambling to support Lemmy benefit from apps like Apollo and Reddit is Fun lessons in UX. It’s early days but we’re already seeing Lemmy apps with a lot of potential.

    Linux is another example. Technical issues for new users aside, there’s a lot of beautiful, easy to use desktops that blow windows 10/11 out of the water. And other less new user friendly options for power users are available as well.

    The community driven approach has been demonstrated to work because it’s only goal is to give the community a good experience.
