Honestly, and I say this with no disrespect, but I feel like the UX is pretty lackluster across this entire ecosystem. It's understandable, since I would imagine the bulk of developer priority is going towards just making things work as reliably as possible on the backend side of things. Fortunately, given the open source nature of things, I feel like the community will fill these gaps in over time. :)

I would love to see the person who made Apollo for reddit develop a Lemmy app. MLEM is not bad but obviously barebones as it’s still in beta

You and I are in full agreement there. I'm guessing that he's eventually going to work something out with Reddit, and keep his focus and priorities over there, but I would love to see something heavily inspired by Apollo make it's way over to this side of the aisle. I'm hoping to start learning Swift (or Tauri+Rust) sometime in the next few months, so if we don't have something by then, I might take a crack at it personally.

With how openly reddit is trashing on apollo specifically, I'm not so sure. I know he does probably want to, as he's in the red either way (if existing yearly apollo subscribers can no longer get content, they can refund through apple and he has to eat that), but reddit seems like it's taking a blowtorch to all bridges.

But yeah, mlem right now isn't much. Any more working on ios apps would be great.
