There were some issues over the past week with logins.

I migrated from storing JWTs in the app’s file system to using the iOS Keychain to store them. This prevents - mainly for users with jailbreaks - other applications being able to access tokens.

The issue was caused by the iOS Keychain not being updated whenever the JWT was changed. So, if you signed into an account that already had an existing but invalid JWT, it would have not removed and overwritten the old one. This is fixed now along with ensuring that Memmy operates fine with 0.19. (Version 1.1.4, still waiting on Apple to approve the App Store release).

Now, this isn’t for 99 percent of you, but yet it still needs to be said. I have said before and will continue to say: I am a single person (Sean has his own obligations) working on this right now. It has consumed a lot of time, and that is fine to me. However I also have life commitments.

I totally understand that if the app is not functioning that you are going to migrate - at least temporarily - to another app. That’s fine. I would do the same. What is not helpful is rude comments or store. You’re more than welcome to bring up issues or leave reviews on the store (I do get notified of them) but doing so with “doesn’t work, devs can’t even be bothered to….” provides me with absolutely nothing to work off of.

This issue is a perfect example of that. There have been a handful of people who were unable to sign in for a few days now (more than I know of, I am sure). Of those people, a number either made comments here (and I do apologize for not reading those, please read below) or have left negative reviews without information. I was left to speculate about the issue and assume it was fixed and the user was just using an old version. It was not until today that someone reached out to me over email with details about the issue that I was able to pin it down and fix it.

I am extremely grateful for the people who have either created GitHub issues or emailed me directly with logs and information. I’ve had interactions with a number of you over the past few weeks that have been great, and that is what open source software is all about.

It should be noted too that - as of right now - this community is mainly used for me being able to make an announcement easily. I do not have the time to monitor this community however. If you directly reply to me or message me I’ll get the notification, but I do not pay attention to posts. If you have a question, it is much more helpful to send me an email (along with the debug log) or open an issue on GitHub.

Know that this isn’t just a request for myself. I’m asking you to treat every developer working on Lemmy. related projects, or frankly any open source software with the same respect. I’ve seen numerous times on this site (and frankly this was something that made me want to take a step away for a moment) rude remarks and negativity made towards developers. It isn’t constructive at all and is the opposite of the energy that we as a community should be putting out.

Please, all I ask is that we be respectful in both directions. As long as the community continues to be great I have no issue at all putting time into this. And outside of just myself and Memmy, the only way this community will continue to thrive and grow is if everyone is treated with that respect.

Remember, too, that Lemmy in terms of size and Memmy in terms of existence have only been around for mere months. Nothing comes perfect out of the box. Lemmy is still - I think we can agree - in its early stages. So is Memmy and the rest of the applications out there. What should be remembered is that the next wave of people is bound to come at some point. Your help in development can make that transition easier than it was for you, whether it be help toward me, toward Voyager or Avelon or the other available options, to the instances, or to the Lemmy devs themselves.

Thank you all. Long live Lemmy 💪(fuck /u/spez)

Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update on the status of Memmy development since things have been slow recently.

Don't worry, we haven't just abandoned Memmy! There are a few reasons we haven't really had many updates or progress recently. gk and I have both been a little burnt out after doing so much before. We didn't really pace ourselves very well I think, so recently we've been taking a break. I've been addicted to Baldurs Gate 3 and gk is trying to get out of Gold Nova in CSGO 😏. Additionally, there was a lot of drama recently on lemmy that kind of left a sour taste in our mouths and has just led us to not using lemmy as much recently.

But don't worry, we are still developing. We are actually working on a rewrite of the app, since we both were rather new to React Native when starting this, and have learned a lot of do's and don'ts. We're also planning on having Android support in the rewrite.

We appreciate the patience and support, thank you to all our users!

I wasn't using it, so I didn't have a chance to dump it.

It doesn’t seem to exist anymore, on the App Store at least. I can see this community is basically dead. Does anyone know the story?

I started seeing cakes appear on people’s usernames, and I realized that it’s been a full year now since the great debacle through which many of us discovered lemmy.

Seeing them all start to pop up at once has made me a bit nostalgic. Memmy was such an exciting and important project during that time, I believe for many people it is the reason they stuck with lemmy in the long term.

So, cheers to the devs, and to anyone who still checks on this community from time to time when memmy crosses their mind.

Broke timestamps. Everywhere. New replies will show "10 hrs" while the original comment will show "18 mins".

When viewing posts I see tons of phantom comments that seemingly have nothing to do with the post or are replying to something when they appear at the top level. Navigating to the post in a web browser shows dozens more comments (not from users I've blocked or anything).

Formatting of content across posts and comments doesn't match what the site does when I view it in the browser.

Thanks to the Memmy dev and any contributors, but broken software is broken software.

So, what's the best alternative these days?

I added links to three images in a comment and it only renders one, has an infinite scroll of black, and crashes the app.

I can submit on GitHub if preferred.

<3 y'all and the magic you're doing here

Beta stopped working, I guess it’s time to uninstall and go to Voyager full time. Too bad - Memmy was a gem. RIP

It’s not moving, is it dead?

Just the title, if I’m looking at “All” I have to scroll past a lot of posts in other languages that I can’t read and I have t been able to find language as a filter option. Thanks!

Just out of pure curiosity, is the Memmy app still in development?

I haven’t used the app for a month or so due to “an unknown error has occurred!”

But haven’t seen a single update from the app nor a single post about the app lately.

It is quite sad to see that decent amount of semi-developed apps are stopping. Artemis is an example of this.

Memmy now opens an off centered (placed out of frame, in the upper right of the screen), tiny, version of any image I open.

I have to pull every image over to the left and down, see it fully.

Help?

I use Memmy daily and I was checking if Memmy is still under development. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the respective community. The app is well-designed that I doubt it was never updated since month.

I also want to support the developer(s). :)

Is Memmy still being worked on? Haven't heard much in the last couple months...

I’ve been having a weird problem recently where when I sort by Top in a comments section, often times a few top-level comments don’t show up, and the replies to that comment are shown as top-level instead. It seems to happen more with comments that have a negative score.

It’s fixed when I sort by Old. I’m not sure if it’s some weird setting I have or a bug. I’d be appreciative for any help!

I’m not a fan of swipe to upvote and downvote gestures; I use the buttons instead. The option to disable these gestures and enable full width swipe gestures to back is great! Glad to see I’m not the only one that feels this way.

I often find my self swiping in the other direction to go ‘forward’ as well.

Swiping from left to right, takes users up a context. So naturally, swiping from right to left should take users ‘down’ a context (or back to where they were).

Similar to webpages in Safari (and other browsers).

Ideally, swipe to go forward should take users back to the same place within the post / comments section. But I’d settle for at least going back to the post.

Thanks for the continued support for memmy! And thanks to all the contributors as well!

Sorry if this has been asked, but ernest has been on fire lately with kbin and it looks like he is getting pretty close to releasing the formal API soon.

I have played around with memmy and really liked it’s interface; it really reminds me of Apollo (RIP). I would love to be able to use it with kbin!

I know there are some differences between lemmy and kbin (the microblog and boosts, for example) and I am sure there are under-the-hood differences as well, so I know it is not as easy as flipping a switch.

Anyways I figured I would ask to see if there is any interest.

Thanks!
