Is there an iOS app that is actually on the app store yet? I know matrix has element, and mastodon has its own app.

    Yes, as others have mentioned Mlem is an app for iOS which is currently under development. An early beta is on TestFlight and is currently open for everyone. Be aware that it is an early beta and is not feature-complete.

    We’re a small team but working hard towards getting the app to 1.0 by July 1 which provides a usable beta in the meantime. So, expect updates changes, etc. in the next few weeks.

    You can follow along on lemmy in the Mlem Community and you can also join us in the Mlem Space on Matrix to chat with us!

    We’re also actively recruiting developers who wish to contribute. More info in this post. Also, feel free to check out the project on GitHub.

    Cheers!

    – The Mlem Team

      Oh wow, thanks for the reply! Good luck, you guys are doing something that can (and at this point, will) have a huge impact on the adoption of the fediverse. Thank you!

        Glad to hear you share our enthusiasm! We want to make a great app that’s usable for everyone. right now we’ve mostly worked out an updated UI and UX while adding some new functions (and squashing bugs!).

      Will it be possible to log in to kbin even though it’s a different technology using the same protocol? Or will it require a different kbin specific app?

        i know that the dev team is looking into it, but there are some technical challenges. You’re welcome to join the Mlem Space on Matrix and get a better answer from the dev team! (I’m on the creative team and also help with communications).
