    Up until just 2 days ago, searching Lemmy on the iOS App Store returned no results. Now there’s Memmy and more apps on the way. That will make a huge difference for casual users who hear about Lemmy but wouldn’t bother trying to figure it out before jumping in. I can’t predict what will cause more waves, but a steady stream of new users seems likely.

    People have been really vocal about their desire to group communities. Whether that happens on the communities’ end or on the user’s end via apps (like Multi-Reddits), or both, I’m confident it’ll happen eventually. I feel like either of those are a better solution than encouraging communities to consolidate, personally. Embrace the beauty and quirks of decentralization.

    It’s exciting to see all the growth and improvements happening so quickly. The sky’s the limit for Lemmy.

      My goodness you are so right, upon seeing your comment, I checked and there it is. Installed it in an instant. Why wasn’t this announced is beyond me. But I’m glad there’s finally an app for iOS

        It was announced on a number of spots. I’m surprised you didn’t see it! It’s a great app and works wonders. Feels like Apollo

          I didn’t know too. Admittedly I didn’t go online much yesterday. What communities was it announced on? It had a traverse tab, too, which lists other lemmy instances. Ahh, I’m so hyped right now :)
