I loath the font size of the subjects of posts in my feed. It’s the opposite of sleek. Huge and bold regardless of anything I toggle. I can’t find a way to change it and it puts me off. Al my font sizes are set to small, and the feed is compact, so seeing it huge and bold is just off putting.
I’ve kept with WefWef/Voyager for that reason alone. I come back to see if try here are more options, but it hasn’t happened.
Notice the gap in disparity between my name at the top, the font in the bottom row and the posts. I get it won’t all be the same, but I also tried to show a post with not aton of text being in 5 rows.
Now compare to Voyager the same-ish posts…
To me, it’s much cleaner and closer to my system font size. Not the end of the world, but when just scrolling through posts irks me, I look for alternatives. Though I did find a few other things I liked while figuring out how to reply and post images.
At the end of the day, I’m reasonable. People like what they like and tend to stick to that. I found WefWef/Voyager fist and it felt and looked like Apollo (font size and all). Then I found Memmy, so that might also play into it.
Eventually I figured it out. Thanks for following up. See copy/pasted comment below:
So I was able to fix it after I realized font size changes require a refresh of posts. Disabling use system font size and the refreshing the posts solved the font size issue. I appreciate the invite to Discord, but life gets in the way.
Hey I’m one of the developers of Memmy. Do you have any settings changed for font size in your iOS settings? That’s definitely not what it looks like for most users
Weird. If you care enough to join our discord i can try to help troubleshoot. Don’t know what would be causing that but like i said, im not aware of it being an issue for anyone else

Once I get the equivalent to the new comment highlightinator (displays how comments are new since the last time you click the post) and customizable swipe gestures I will be very happy
Oh it was navigation gestures. Using the bottom bar to swip back and forth. I would sometimes try to upvote a comment or something and back out of the post being able to swipe forward wasn’t needed but nice to have since my thumb was already down there
Well yes. I’m actually using Memmy. But I guess I don’t see how it would be inspired by Apollo. Don’t get my wrong, the dev is doing amazing work and I think it’s the best Lemmy app right now, but Voyager is 100% Apollo’s clone.
This is true. Memmy is a great app but it’s still not quite a clone of Apollo. Wefwef/Voyager is legitimately Apollo’s UI, almost 1:1. It just doesn’t have haptics 🙁
We are absolutely inspired by Apollo, much of the UI is very similar. We can take inspiration from Apollo without copying it 1 for 1. There’s no creative fun in just making a carbon copy of Apollo for us.
Oh I see what you were saying, sorry I misunderstood your point. I didn’t use Apollo much (I liked Narwhal more) so I can’t speak on how similar they are.
Because most images I don’t want to tap on anyway. I use it more often to track news stories per my hobbies rather than to look at memes/pics/porn. I don’t need the news story thumbnail taking up so much of the screen that I can only see one or two stories at a time.
Memmy for iOS is inspired by Christian and his work on Apollo.
And the developer is going an awesome job. It’s early but it’s really promising.
And the AppStore just got updated with new icons and less bugs!
less bugs? How do you patch that?
Bug spray or coding. Depends on the kind of bug.
99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs in the code. Take one down, patch it around 117 little bugs in the code
Memmy is easily a 9/10 already, just missing some features.
Been absolutely loving the Dracula (purple) theme!!

Otherwise it seems great.
Weird, I have no issues with any font sizes. Mind posting a screenshot? I’m super curious.

Here’s how my settings look.
I reinstalled and matched your settings. No dice. I wish it looked that way. Thanks for wanting to help.
I would turn off Use System Font Size and set your own size.
I definitely went through and toggled everything in Memmy on/off. Thanks for the recommendation though.
Damn that’s so strange. Sorry dude.
All good.
have you tried turning it (compact view) off and on again?

Wow that’s super bizarre. This is how compact view looks on my end. I normally use standard view though.

My iOS font size is at the lowest setting.

No worries, yea some of our memoization needs a little more work for appearance changes at the moment. I’m glad you got it working better!

That would be awesome. I’d also like the option to edit posts.

Yeah there’s some other 3rd feature I loved about Apollo but it always slips my mind
Pretty sure that’d be Voyager (formerly wefwef). It’s already been adopted by lemmy.world under m.lemmy.world
No, Voyager/wefwef and Memmy are separate things

Also missing all those cool keyboard shortcuts. I’m sure it will get there tho.

Huh, TIL. Maybe that’s why I prefer it over the other options out there, because it’s got a somewhat familiar layout and feel. Keep up the good work!
Oh I see what you were saying, sorry I misunderstood your point. I didn’t use Apollo much (I liked Narwhal more) so I can’t speak on how similar they are.
Just got it! It’s great!
Until Memmy can do a compact mode like Apollo it’s useless to me. That’s why I’m on wefwef/Voyager.EDIT: I was wrong, and looking in the wrong place for the setting.
Memmy has compact mode as of todays update I believe
It’s had it the entire time I’ve used it (last 2 weeks or so)
It does
No shade just curious, why do you like compact mode? Seems tedious to have to tap on each image for me.
Because most images I don’t want to tap on anyway. I use it more often to track news stories per my hobbies rather than to look at memes/pics/porn. I don’t need the news story thumbnail taking up so much of the screen that I can only see one or two stories at a time.
Ah okay that makes sense. Thanks
