You can use MLEM It's still in test flight, but works pretty OK.

I used Mlem, it’s a test flight app, so it’s early in development, but it works fine enough. Crashes often, but that’s the only major issue I have.
Sadly Mlem won't load (via Test Flight) on my 1st generation iPhone SE. The error says that Mlem requires iOS 16.
Novel idea: update your phone, so that it supports newer apps.
Yeah, eventually a replacement will happen but in the mean time I'll continue playing the "frugal game". Instead of buying a new phone whenever the latest version is released, for less money I buy two of the previous version. Even if one needs a new battery I'm still way ahead. It's very reassuring, especially when traveling, to have a cold spare just waiting in case the first one dies.
So far Mlem not working is the only problem I've encountered so it's way to early to consider spending money. The Lemmy web view works just fine.
Occasionally I encounter someone totally into consumerism that can't understand this, but that's OK.
You could beta test Mlem through TestFlight. It is a Lemmy app for iOS that works reasonably well for being brand new.
Could this work for fedia?
Sorry if this question is annoying I’m just new
you have to download the testflight testing suite, but mlem works well for me! https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem
I’m using the website still. I got Mlem going and it works, but I’m not a huge fan of the main feed being fully expanded. I assume it’ll get better as it gets worked on so I’ll keep an eye on it. But until then the website actually works pretty smoothly.
Other than Mlem, there are others currently under development too. I’m excitedly following memmy by @gkd@lemmy.ml
Interesting. I wish there was a “Remind me” feature so I could come back to your comment later to check on progress of that app. I’m using Mlem right now.
the dev seems to be posting updates here if you want to subscribe to it https://lemmy.ml/c/memmy
Got the TestFlight beta! Thx! Looks promising.
I mean, you can probably use whatever reminders app you have on the computing device variety you prefer :)
Yeah, I meant more like the reddit feature but I found the button for saving a post/comment so I can come back to it later.
I’m using Mlem, but I keep trying to do the Apollo gestures I’m so used to, and getting frustrated.
I’m in the same boat. I’m also an iOS developer so I’ve got something in the works (:
I’m using Mlem through TestFlight. Works pretty well, crashes sometimes but I’m not sure that’s not just because I’m on IOS 17 dev beta.
Thanks. Just tried Mlem. Seems reasonable. Dislike having to TestFlight it though.
Mlem looks great so far.
I’m working on building my own app for it too in Flutter, but Mlem seems to be the only option available as of now
Interesting, are you planning on an open source/free app?
