ESR. They have cases as low as $13 with strong magnets and a premium feel.

I am using it for the flashlight. I hope to get fancy with a shortcut, but I don’t have one picked out yet.

I’m thinking maybe I will try it for my receipt scanning shortcut on a future business trip.

I’m also using for the flashlight.

It can only be accessed by the Lock Screen button and the control center widget. The camera can be activated by app, Lock Screen swipe, control center widget, Lock Screen button, search, etc.

I like the idea of using shortcuts to make it more flexible. However mute toggle and camera are not likely something I will pursue. (Why do people need to intermittently mute their phones, isn’t your phone always on mute?)

If I didn’t get a new phone every year I would likely not load a backup. It takes a bit more time when you just “sign in to icloud” and then go from there, but the phone feels a lot more “new”. Loading my old backup on a new phone just has too much familiarity in the way of app arrangement and whatnot.

As with any new phone, ensure all of your core apps work before resetting the old one. Often 2FA and stuff can get you in a catch 22 if you are not careful.

For now, use them all. I’m using Memmy, mlem, liftoff, wefwef, lemmy.world as a PWA, and thunder. So far it seems Memmy, mlem and wefwef are the most “iOS” of the bunch, but several variants have their ups and downs. For example, when I want a link to a community in the cleanest form, I go to mlem (three dots in top level of community provides a share button). Memmy is my main daily driver and does my notifications. Wefwef is just amazing that it is a web app. Thunder and liftoff feel like what I expect android to feel like (material design).

I expect I will settle into Memmy, mlem and wefwef with some occasional web app and website usage of lemmy.world, it is great to try them all right now.

We have options with servers, and options with apps, and we have no need for monogamy among these fine options.

If you go to profile -> settings -> email debug log you can outbound suggestions from the app.

You can also visit the Memmy community to interact with the developer, and other enthusiasts.

Mlem is a different app. Both are good, but only Memmy is currently released into the App Store.

I’m the Memmy app go to profile. I have my site circled. You can access it from a browser without the “@“.

No app or site is feature complete right now. I recommend also using wefwef.app and using the site. You can install the site the same way you install wefwef. On your phone, go to landscape with the website to expose all the features and locate ranked communities that way.

Try restarting the app after making the change.

I think you can jump back and forth. Get it on the App Store version just to give it a review! I did this on my iPad and kept my iPhone on TestFlight.

My profile is working on beta and App Store version. Maybe a server issue or maybe you just need to restart all.

I always thought it was swipe, but slide makes more sense now that I think about it.

You also were helping to point out the Memmy community. I should have linked that in the first place!

I installed the App Store version on my iPad so I could review it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Keeping the beta on my phone for the foreseeable future.

This post was mostly to connect the people who missed out on the beta.

I don’t think they can, as is. The app itself has the url imbedded into it. The only way they could get it to work is by authenticating from a web page that indicates where it is.
