As a longtime Apollo user, I would love to know when this hits Test Flight!
Unlike Apollo, will this be Free Software though?
Apollo did have a free tier and then a few paid tiers.
iirc, (I bought it many years ago), they had a one time Pro purchase that removed any ads and unlocked theming and such, and then the Ultimate which was a subscription to cover server costs of push notifications (although it did eventually end up having more features locked behind it).
While I personally did not go for the Ultimate subscription (didn’t really need the push notifications), I gladly paid for the Pro as it was well worth it IMO.
I think they meant Free as in Open Source
It’s not exactly the same. The Free Software movement is about user freedom. Open Source is a term used by corporations to avoid mentioning that users should have rights.
Libre, not gratis
Yes, I meant freedom and not price: https://youtu.be/Ag1AKIl_2GM
We want to be able to make sure the app doesn’t do anything malicious (like spy on us) and be able to change it to fit out needs. Like we can with Lemmy.
Same, I’d love to beta test.
Go to her mastodon. You can request to be a beta tester.
Just signed up - thanks for the tip!
Oh shit I’m in the screenshot!!
Im a Lemmy dude but this app looks awesome. Good job
@hariette thanks!
why is the number of upvotes displayed separately from the upvote/downvote buttons? Same also for the comment count/button
Never used Apollo, but great news to have multiple ways to interact.
About the app being proprietary or open source it shouldn’t matter. The foundation is federated community, the ways to interact can be federated too. Mix of open source and proprietary.

it looks so beautiful
Sounds awesome! I’m commenting, so I can find this thread later. I can’t figure out how to bookmark it.
same here, dont mind me :)
Haha same! I think it looks and sounds awesome too so far. But I can’t figure out how to bookmark either.
Same
Can’t wait for this
Great, thanks!
Is there a way to integrate the lemmy community browser into this to be able to Searcy communities across different instances?
I think it looks great! I’ve been keeping up with them, but the name is great, too.
I’m happy to have an Apollo clone. Apollo was such a masterfully done app.
Artemis is a great name for the app by the way.
The sister of Apollo :). Except I hope this one will be Free Software?
Money = good things cost money to make
I hope the developer offers a way to pay to help out (like RiF having “golden platinum”)
@Lilkev nice app!
Any chance the Android build will make it to the main F-Droid repository?
I also want it in the F-Droid repos.
