New to Lemmy, and want to help out testing Mlem! But Testflight says the beta is full. Any way to join?

    Mlem was just removed from TestFlight due to some issues one of the developers had recently. I think there might be another TestFlight version being sent out later by another of the devs.

    That said, like others here I’ve also been testing Memmy, and in the interest of testing multiple I’ve also started testing Limbo as well (https://lemmy.world/u/limboapp). I’ve been really enjoying it as well.

    I’ll be testing Artemis when it releases on TestFlight as it’s going to be the only Kbin app for a while.

    Edit: to build on testing multiple, there was a post listing most (or maybe all currently?) apps in development - around 10 (https://sh.itjust.works/post/311799)

    Beta access has been limited to the initial 10k as the devs are ramping up for their official release on the App Store. See this post for more info.

    Releases will be limited for now to our 10k TestFlight beta testers, for whom we are extremely grateful!

    Apple limits beta users to 10,000, so nobody can do much about it. However, the team is getting ready to release 1.0 in July, after which that limit won’t be a thing anymore.

      Honestly side by side, I just installed memmy and I like it more. Can open photos. Save and share. Swipe to vote works

      It’ll be cool to see the two evolve

        Also been using it. Has good search and ability to sub to instances easily. For a hardcore Apollo user, it seems to scratch the itch.

          Yeah, it’s definitely shaping up to be more like Apollo. I quite like it.

      The Memmy developer seems to be releasing about one update a day with lots of bug squashes and quality of life updates. Mlem just pushed a new update and it had a good amount of updates as well. Seems like the developers may have different approaches (quick releases vs larger / slower releases).

      Either way it’s exciting how much better both apps have gotten in such a short period of time.
