    I’m brand new to Lemmy, having trouble getting around on iOS. I checked out the GitHub for Remmel, in one of the open issues a dev mentioned they’re trying to get the app up and running again for the new Lemmy version a few months from now.

    In the meantime, how have you been getting around the Fediverse on iOS, if you don’t mind me asking?

      I’m a dirty Android user. But remember that Lemmy is ActivityPub.

      If you have a Mastodon account (like the one I’m using right now to send you this!), you can follow Lemmy communities. I just put the link to the community in the Mastodon search bar and a “profile” showed up for me to follow. Then I followed it and posts from users show up in my Mastodon client.

      It’s not perfect - the Android Lemmy app actually does a better job, generally. But it’s honestly a reasonable workflow and it makes my Mastodon feed more interesting too.

        Ah okay, sweet, thanks for the advice! I’ll check out a Mastadon app for iOS while Remmel is down.

          There is also a new Lemmy client for iOS called Mlem - it’s still under heavy development as far as I understand (I am also on Android so I can’t test it myself) but there’s a TestFlight link on that page that will let you download the app!

            Fantastic, thanks for the link. I’ll give it a test today.
