Lemmy iOS app with code markup comments?

I’ve been leaning on Lemmy communities for coding and self hosting tips. I tend to do most of my browsing on my phone and I’ve noticed Memmy doesn’t show any markdown in posts or comments.

  • Any alternatives to using Memmy that is known to support code markdown?
  • I’m not opposed to switching to the browser, but I don’t find the Lemmy.world layout particularly easy to navigate so I’d prefer an app or a good PWA

Thanks everyone for the comments so far, I’m including 3 screenshots of how a post looks in all 3 locations (Memmy, Photon & Arctic)

I think Arctic is the winner for me, I like the layout and settings. Also Memmy removed the swipe from left to access subscribed communities and it’s been impossible to get out of the habit, Arctic seems to do it!

Voyager and Memmy have markdown shortcuts in the comment editor.

AFAIK, most if not all iOS support markdown even though some may not have shortcuts in the comment editor; you would have to type them manually.

    first of all, i've never seen any, not even Apollo for Reddit, that did live styling. The preferred method has always been to show the markup in the editor so the user can modify it before posting or easily edit it afterwards.

    second: what markup shortcuts are you wanting there to be? existing, end even past editors, typically only ever feature the most commonly-used markup in shortcuts simply due to space limitations in the interface. if you're looking for shortcuts for things like tables and other advanced formatting, i doubt you'll find that anywhere just because it's uncommonly used and other shortcut bottoms would take UI/UX priority.

    stuff like that didn't even get added to Apollo until its final versions, and, AFAIK it was the only Reddit app that had them. In your case, you'll probably have to just learn to type it in manually like the rest of us.

    I didn’t argue with anyone in my comment, and you’ve already had a comment removed by the mods for your rule breaking behavior.

    Perhaps you should take a break.

    You called ME a “jerk”, and I know what we said because

    1. I remember and
    2. It’s in the mod log

    So, now you’re lying about what you said while proudly admitting to childish name-calling… all while accusing me of being the one causing problems here?

    K…

    Congratulations. You called me a dick, and you got your comment removed, so now you’re just trolling me instead of moving on like an adult.

    You’re the only one who’s been aggressive, call people, names, and has been arguing and fighting. So much so, that you’ve already had one comment removed and most of your comments here have been downloaded into the negative. Clearly nobody agrees with you.

    You’re projecting your anger and your actions onto me, and it’s clear that you need to step away and take a break.

    Cross-community stalking is against instance rules. I’ll be reporting you to each community mod and to the instance mods.

    I warned you to take a break. …

    first, i don't use capitalization, my account is years older, we talk about (almost) entirely disparate topics, and we have conflicting political views. you'd never catch me saying this:

    "The GOP intends to coup. "

    and my posting history will back that up.

    A person can change how they speak online (code switching). Especially if they’re trying to hide that they’re using an alt. Your “evidence” is hardly “proof”, lol.

    !arctic has good markdown support and if it’s missing anything the developer is pretty good at making sure the next update supports it.

    Yep arctic has some of the best support of this I’ve seen.

    This is probably the one for me, really digging the level of customization and it’s easy to navigate.

    As far as I know, Photon also supports markdown in comments. Lemmy World runs that as an alternate frontend at https://photon.lemmy.world/

    Unless something changed, it has good PWA support.
