I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.
It’s good. It’s really really good.
You must log in or register to comment.
Pretty impressive! Not Apollo but close. Dismissing images is not as fluid.
30 mins in and I’ve set up a Lemmy account, logged into Wefwef, added a bunch of subscriptions and now it’s about 85% like I’m still using Reddit. Amazing, and considerably better than I could have hoped for
I just installed Mlem and Memmy. Both have a very nice UI and are smooth. I am leaning towards Mlem though. I like swiping right to view my communities.
Edit: I was an Apollo user and reddit does not feel the same without Apollo.
I tried those 2 as well but Wefwef is really better despite being a web app.
The one complaint I have is the lack of a native app; it doesn’t run as smoothly as the other Lemmy clients do on my phone.
It’s already amazing on my tablet though!
Yes it is really nice but still browser based at the end of the day, therefore will not be a go-to for me.
Memmy has been good to me so far
Whatever you do, don’t look at what technologies Memmy uses.
I’m on android, but this got me curious.
What technology does memmy use, and why is it a concern?
React native, so it’s not really a concern. Just poking fun.
@fades @African_Grey do you know if any more beta slots have been upened up for Memmy? I’m trialing Mlem right now but there’s no iPad version
I’m happily using wefwef both on my phone and on my computer. It has a really a great UI to browse/keep up with lemmy.
The only thing missing for me after testing for 2 days is the swipe to go back a screen. You need to reach ALLLLLL the way across to the left edge of the screen and drag it ALLLLLL the way to the right to go back to your feed from a post. In Apollo I had it configured to only need a swipe from about the middle of the screen to the right edge. It’s very hard for me to reach that far comfortably and my muscle memory is all messed up right now. I keep doing the short swipe and I upvote someone’s post instead. If they can add this I will be extremely happy.
Edit: Also, I just realized after posting this comment that Apollo also had a feature where you go forward and backward a screen by swiping left or right on the bottom section. Extremely useful as well.
wefwef is the best, I really stopped caring about all the other apps being under development. Just mind that using it with Firefox really is absolutely lagging (which is kind of a shame) and that (currently) Chrome gets you the best performance. Feels like a native Android app.
It’s good, but it needs a compact view (unless I simply haven’t found the option).
It has! Check appearance in settings.
Yeah, I saw it right after posting. The app updates so frequently I must have missed that one.
One thing I just noticed is the privacy policy. It proxies the data to their server and can collect analytics. I do understand it’s to circumvent CORS, but still we’ve to keep that in mind.
You can host it yourself. It’s open source.
It’s good, but it needs a compact view (unless I simply haven’t found the option).
Edit: It looks like compact view arrived in the appearance settings. Nice.
Edit 2: It might need since better post error handling/feedback…
+1 wefwef.app my favorite so far
This is uncanny. Thanks!
I’m really digging Wefwef, but I’m an android user so I feel like I’m crossing some weird rubicon of using an Apple UI from a non Apple device.
I guess what I’m saying… Ladies… Is that I’m dangerous.
Wefwef is great! I love the Apollo-export upload feature lets you find similar communities on Lemmy.
I love it. It’s good beehaw doesn’t allow downvoting though because I accidentally would be downvoting a lot as I try and swipe back
