You can actually change the icon from settings, and if I’m not wrong, some of them don’t display a prominent tongue or one at all.

But, then again, the app’s name is literally “mlem” which is the cutest and goofiest thing that animals do, which I think you should definitely search on internet if the concept isn’t familiar to you! 🥹 the tongue could make more sense after knowing the context, and probably won’t give those vibes

Commenting in Reddit felt very claustrophobic in a way. And saturated. Kind of sad, also, if you were some days late to some nice topic, and get buried under thousands and thousands of comments made prior yours, and have zero interactions at that point from anyone, even if you asked a very relevant question or whatever.

But I suspect Lemmy will get to that point too. Right now, though, it’s light enough to actually warrant wasting energy writing anything as a response to anything.

Another one worth a shot is Memmy, which I’ve settled of personally, as a prior Apollo user.

I’d describe it as being halfway the two, but to me, it just feels best to use.

As far as these beta apps go, I’m pretty surprised it’s this smooth to explore and use Lemmy today!

For mastodon, I just found an incredible FOSS app for iOS too; Ice Cubes. It’s mind blowing, really, how far fediverse has got in these past years since I last actively used it!
