You mean third-party apps? The passion with which developers have been working on Fediverse apps lately is humbling. On iOS, the ugly child of open source apps, just for Lemmy there's Memmy, and in TestFlight, Mlem, Thunder, and LiftOff!. These last are still beta/alpha, but Memmy is mature enough to compare with the former third-party Reddit clients.
The official Mastodon app recently got a much needed upgrade, and there are other good clients like MetaText, Ivory, and many more. If anything, there are too many choices now, the dust needs to settle.
It's refreshing to see a fundamental questioning of the status quo (corporate lordship), and a disrupting and viable technology (Fediverse) making strides in the right direction.
I might be biased because I remember a diverse Internet from before the corporate takeovers, and it seems like the Fediverse is attracting older adults who got to experience some of that diversity too: https://mastodon.art/@jsstaedtler/110668308409683502 https://mastodon.art/@jsstaedtler/110668308409683502
- Forgeties79 3y agoLike I said, I am regularly on Kbin now. I like the fediverse concept as well. I’m just somewhat jaded because like you I remember and enjoyed the more “diverse” internet, warts and all. Being a bit cynical doesn’t mean I think it’s doomed. Appreciate the app suggestions!
