      Please let that also be a Lemmy instance, Lemmy needs horizontal distributed scaling.

        This is how I’ve been thinking Lemmy can scale. Sync can host their own instance funded by premium subscribers. In other cases, a group of friends with common local interests can host an instance with their local channels plus caching posts on other instances, and peoppe could connect to that or lemmy.world for free and see the same content.

    Happy for Android users, but for those that don’t know, on iOS, we have three apps in beta we can download, and all three are very good with the current state they are in. I suggest giving anyone of them a try.

    Memmy Join the Memmy App beta - TestFlight - Apple https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

      Both memmy and mlem have been great in their own ways thus far. Both are in testflight and getting regular updates, in addition to the news about sync there is also news about another new one called artemis that is aiming to be apollo styled.

      How have I not found this!?

      I wanted to check out Mlem, but it’s full. Lemur I think is discontinued. There is one that’s coming called Artemis, but that’s not available yet.

      Memmy is honestly just what I was looking for. Cheers!

        I’ve been testing both and I definitely prefer Memmy overall. Mlem has better image display options and has search. Memmy doesn’t display images unless you tap on the post. Search should be released in the next day or two, though.

        Artemis being an Apollo clone had me very excited, though.

        Edit: new app just released on TestFlight showing real promise: Limbo

    This is exactly why I never pick iphones, because a good chunk of the time you miss out on all the niche things you can do on a smartphone.

          2011 Mac Pro, which was discontinued in 2012, while support for the design was fully discontinued in 2013, when mac decided it would completely change everything and focus on the trash can design.

          I get upgrading and whatever the fuck, but this was supposed to be an upgradeable machine, like a user built pc, but then they just fucking dumped support within 2 years, which should be fucking criminal considering its outrageous price.

          It’s made by the main Lemmy developer, but it’s his personal project and not the official Lemmy android client. He’s been making some controversial commits on Jerboa in the past on the basis that it’s his personal project, so he can do as he please (unlike Lemmy which is funded by a foundation).
