I’ve been trying to use mlem now for about a week and I just find that it lacks a lot of very basic functionality. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it’s all new and everyone’s scrambling to build and improve, I’m not faulting the mlem devs here. But until things like copy/paste work and notifications exist, the mobile Lemmy site is better but also worse in many respects.

Are there any other iOS apps out there or under development that I should be on the lookout for?

EDIT: I’ve amended the title of the post to better reflect my intention here. Folks seem to be misunderstanding the intent here. I’m not blaming mlem, memmy or any other project out there for failing to create something “good”. All these apps and the ecosystem are new and still rapidly evolving, I get that. I’m just trying to hunt around and see what’s available that might not be listed on the official apps page yet.

    Try adding the site to your home screen. It will actually add a progressive web app, which is surprising useful.

      Wow! I had no idea this was possible! I’ve done just this and, you’re right! Still about the same experience as in a browser (duh) but nice that it’s not Just Another Tab in your browser to get lost

      Yeah the progressive web app is useful enough I wish it were mentioned on the main Lemmy.org page. I don’t really feel the need too a separate app with it (which is somewhat ironic because I came here specifically because of third party apps)
