Any reason I can't find Remmel in the iPhone App Store?
I’m brand new to Lemmy, having trouble getting around on iOS. I checked out the GitHub for Remmel, in one of the open issues a dev mentioned they’re trying to get the app up and running again for the new Lemmy version a few months from now.
In the meantime, how have you been getting around the Fediverse on iOS, if you don’t mind me asking?
I'm a dirty Android user. But remember that Lemmy is ActivityPub.
If you have a Mastodon account (like the one I'm using right now to send you this!), you can follow Lemmy communities. I just put the link to the community in the Mastodon search bar and a "profile" showed up for me to follow. Then I followed it and posts from users show up in my Mastodon client.
It's not perfect - the Android Lemmy app actually does a better job, generally. But it's honestly a reasonable workflow and it makes my Mastodon feed more interesting too.
Ah okay, sweet, thanks for the advice! I'll check out a Mastadon app for iOS while Remmel is down.
There is also a new Lemmy client for iOS called Mlem - it's still under heavy development as far as I understand (I am also on Android so I can't test it myself) but there's a TestFlight link on that page that will let you download the app!
Fantastic, thanks for the link. I’ll give it a test today.
I was having the same issue. Can't remember where but someone said the app isn't actually available yet and that the dev only has it on github? I could be wrong though just passing along that info.
