This was last updated Mar 26, 2024 and the developer has been AWOL ever since.
Much as I love the app, Lemmy has gone through multiple API changes (and has more to come) such that staying on an outdated app isn’t viable. Last I used it, it was already having issues loading pictures and comment threads.
I wanted to build a universal web and native app. I started out using react native on iOS/Android and react on web. I realized that I was spending most if my time trying to get native to work as well as web. For example, the markdown renderers/editors on web are far superior to native imo. Making native a web app solves a lot of problems, but obviously it creates new issues like this post mentions.
The biggest issue with being a web app is I will likely never be able to get Liquid Glass working on iOS. I’m guessing same for voyager. But Liquid Glass kinda sucks, so we’ll call it a feature instead of a bug. I think these web apps can work around most other issues, including the one this post mentions.
Btw, any lemmy app that isn’t a webrender?
Connect uses flutter, which I’m pretty sure isn’t web render based

I’m on iPhone, so don’t know about Android apps, but Mlem is solid for iOS!

Damn, you’re right. Last update was exactly 2 years ago.
Damn, how’s next week looking, time traveler? Is trump dead yet?
At the risk of causing the universe to implode, I’m afraid I can’t tell you.

Blorp dev here. Blorp actually is too 😅
