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.
Wefwef is great! I love the Apollo-export upload feature lets you find similar communities on Lemmy.
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!
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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…
New favorite way to use lemmy.
Great design, feels responsive, works everywhere…
PWAs are great, and for 99% of use cases are more than enough. We need a fake App Store that “installs” PWAs in people devices in a transparent way.
Also let’s hope Apple is forced to open iOS to alternative rendering engines and complete full features browsers.
And for a final irony boost, the PWA thing is the “”””original”””” vision for smartphones, at least according to Steve Jobs during the original iPhone keynote. Full circle and stuff.

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.
This is uncanny. Thanks!
+1 wefwef.app my favorite so far
This is going to be my go to app for mobile devices, thanks for making me aware of it!
It’s as if Apollo has been reborn. How wild! I recommend giving wefwef or Memmy a try.
