Lemmy devs approaching the reddit API deadline like

May their servers be strong, and their storage consistent!
- I got lots and lots and lots of ram and CPU ready for the occasion.
  Although- physical hardware hasn't been the issue with many of the performance issues with lemmy.
  
  You, my friend, may your CPU's never stall and your RAM never exhaust. May the gods of IT bless your hardware for the beloved stability for centuries
- They should make a sacrifice to the server gods

The Memmy dev has pushed almost 70 major TestFlight builds in two weeks. Dude is a machine.

It forms a nice 🖕lol
- 🤣

You're not wrong lol though tbf 0.18.0 made Lemmy quite a bit more usable for me.

Oh geez, the 30th is coming quick isn't it

And I applaud them for it. Lemmy needs merch.
Also, friendly reminder that https://join-lemmy.org/donate exists.
- ~~Lemmy NFTs, anyone?~~
  
  Great idea and while we are at it we could increase API prices.

There's been a lot of activity there recently, lots of new contributors!
- I just made my first contribution to liftoff and now I got the hang of it. I want to do a lot more.
  
  Ya hopefully it starts picking up even more. I also just started up.

I don't know which app to settle on since they are being updated so frequently. Thunder and Jerboa are my top contenders at the moment.
- Coming from Infinity for Reddit, I've been really enjoying Jerboa
  
  It has a similar feel, somehow. Glad it was the first app I picked here as I went through quite a few reddit apps before eventually settling for Infinity.
- +1 for Jerboa if you're coming from Sync. Very similar style, and it just works 😃
- Jerboa has been fantastic as a former baconreader user (well, still am til the first). Can't recommend enough
  
  Today is my first jerboa day coming from baconreader and it took me over an hour to sign in... I am a literal rocket scientist with a PhD. This switch from Reddit is gonna be hard...
- Just want to throw Connect for Lemmy into the mix as well. The dev is incredibly responsive to user reported issues and feature requests and it's already a pleasure to use.

I feel for them. Keep strong...

Mine looks a bit different. Solid green for 2-3 weeks and radio silence after

That's great to see. They are expecting a huge influx of users and are working towards having things prepared.
I anticipate a lot of client apps will be ready by then as well, in order to promote themselves and Lemmy/kbin.
- there is also strong positive feedback loop, i guess... among the early adopters who are already here are people who deployed their own instance and found that only way to fix something is to do it themselves and commit the fix ;)

Is there any infinity(reddit client) developers contributing to lemmy.consider asking them
- I don't know, but isn't infinity planning to go subscription once the changes take effect? This would make think they'll keep their efforts there
- Ask OP. He's the dev of https://wefwef.app, a PWA for Lemmy. Github, Lemmy Community .
  My favorite Lemmy app so far.
  @aeharding: thanks for this great app.

Funny post, especially since all apps are being discussed except wefwef by OP :))
- Wefwef is great its the best app for lemmy
  
  I'm using it now. I admittedly haven't been on ios and using Apollo for close to 2 years now but this feels largely how I remember it.
- 😂😭
  
  Hey, wefwef is amazing.

Impressive. Now let's see the mobile devs git contributions
- Connect is doing great, just got an update 3 hrs ago for and fixed some things I just noticed a moment agk
- I have 4 mobile iOS apps on TestFlight. They seem to get big updates daily. I know lemon will be coming soon. So that will be 5. Things are moving fast.
  
  I have 8 Android apps downloaded. I get multiple updates per day. I'm subscribed to GitHub release notification and my email is blowing up nonstop.
  Everyone is working hard, which is great. Just a few weeks ago when I joined Lemmy the Jerboa app was pretty shit. I'd give it a 2/10. Now it's a solid 6/10. Just needs more features and to stop timing out every 60 seconds.
  
  Can you recommend one? I’m on MemmyApp currently, and the basic functionality mostly works, but I wouldn’t mind trying other options.
  
  Can you list the four and which is most like Apollo? 🙈
- Shoutout to Memmy. The updates are coming at a furious pace.
- The dev of the Thunder app is insane. New releases three times a week, with a lot of new features each time.
  
  No kidding! I posted an issue on github yesterday and it was fixed in the release this morning. Absolute machine.

I hope they will add e2e encrypted DMs
- Its called matrix
  
  Yeah. Just embedding Matrix somehow would be the way to do this.
- I don't think that's possible to do using activity pub, but if you have a matrix account you can add it in your settings. When viewing the profile of someone who has a matrix account set on the web ui, there will be a button that says "send encrypted message". You should see it if you look at my profile page, for example.
  
  I tried to register on lemmygrad yesterday to see your Matrix badge, they didn't approve me yet :(
- That's not really Lemmy's purpose. I disliked when Reddit added it, and it would be an unnecessary addition here as well.
  
  I get that it's unnecessary, but why did you dislike it?

I can't believe the progress they're all making
