I am using the Mlem beta and while it is getting better with every update, it’s still far away from being usable by „the normies“ (i.e. every non-early-adopter). Plus, we need more than one good app, because taste is different. Lemmy moderation tools seem to be no so mature as well. it just seems like Lemmy would need a few more years, in my opinion.
Jerboa needs some work, but it will get there. I wish we had paid versions of the app, I'd like development to got a bit faster as the deadline for 3rd party apps on reddit is coming up dreadfully fast.
Yeah, true. People doing this in their free time pour a lot of love into the apps, which is good, but money buys time and that’s what would be needed. That’s why I believe the apps wine be ready on time.
No, we are not there yet. I believe it only makes sense once there are a bunch of mobile apps available.
Supposedly mlem (iOS) is coming out ~July 1.
You can join the beta now. They just released a huge update. It's not done but it's useable. https://discuss.online/post/17361
