    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.

      I never pic up an iPhone because Mac discontinued support for my $6000 editing computer within two years when they scrapped the mac towers and went laptop only.

          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.

            Lol we still have these an my company.

            It doesn’t make my life as a network engineer hell at all, having to figure out how to make decade old technology fit into a fiber network in a windows environment.

      Hopefully sideloading will come soon and open up some of the potential on iOS (I say this as an android user)

        I would not get your hopes up. The last I heard the rumor said that you would only be able to side load on an iPhone if it was activated on a European carrier

          Yeah we’ll see how far it goes. I’m in Europe so if I do end up switching to iPhone I’d be able to benefit from it. But then who knows what other limitation they implement lol.

          That said it seems like other non-EU countries are going to follow suit so maybe it will go further than just the EU even if not immediately, like a domino effect. Or maybe this is just wishful thinking haha.

            Fair enough. I’m just saying from apple I’d expect nothing more but barely passing the definition malicious compliance.

    It’s nice that we can have all these choices for 3rd party clients that won’t end up getting screwed over due to a central authority.

        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.

        Feature rich. Basically whatever way you want to view Reddit, it has it. It also played videos much better for me than the official app. Very customizable and great ease of use.

        For me, it was the swipe quick actions, true black dark theme, and how the comments were nested.

        It just felt right 12 years ago, I’ll insta buy again

    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.

    The official community is on Lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy

    There’s also a subreddit r/syncforlemmy

    I dare say he’ll be wanting to get out a functional app before implementing things like support for Kbin. Bjt it’s worth requesting it as the more who, perhaps the more priority it will get.

      The iOS version was handled by a different developer altogether. LJ has never done work for iOS himself.

      Same! I hope he’s considering it… Lemmy + Apollo would make it 1000x more attractive for Reddit users to enjoy Reddit without the management team’s constant fuckery.

        I mean, I would throw some more money his way if he decided to integrate it with Lemmy. It’s a good app, and has been reliably functional for years, through all the various iterations of Reddit jiggery-pokery.

        Also, if he does, a client app outliving it’s target service and migrating to support another competitor service would obviously become known as “pulling an Apollo”.

        That would make spez so incredibly angry. And then promoting it on reddit in his subreddit and then people posting it to the apple sub would make me not surprised if he banned Apollo sub out of anger.

    just a PSA, remember you can still use Lemmy as a PWA (“install” lemmy.world from safari as a shortcut)
