The apps are going to be a game changer. If they can make it easier and intuitive to sign up, manage your accounts, find communities, and eventually group communities together and filter your feed, casual users will start flocking. It’s all about the UX and UI.

I hope to see the apps even accept donations and distribute part of it to the Lemmy devs and server hosts to help keep things sustainable.

As an Apollo user, switched to wefwef and suddenly its like Reddit 10 years ago. Lots of interesting and weird content with great UX.

Is wefwef only for iPhone? I can't seem to find it in the Google store.

Wefwef is a web app. You should be able to get it on anything with a browser.

It's a web app. Recently it's become even more optimised, I can now type and navigate Lemmy without any lag on my phone at all. It's not as choppy as you'd expect websites to be.

I use it as a web page on Android until sync for Lemmy comes out and it works great for me

Same! Also I just installed the Mlem beta and while it’s a bit buggy, it already works pretty well and it seems to work better for me than Wefwef (and it’s native which for me is a plus)

That and hopefully each app will create their own federations. It will be a refreshing to see the developers become the leaders
