Why YSK: looks very similar and functions like Apollo, if you're used to Apollo that's a great app for you, even if you do not, it's still one of the best apps for lemmy You can install the web app here: wefwef.app/settings/install or just use it on your browser here wefwef.app
I am astounded by how good wefwef is. Without question the best web app I've ever seen
Too good for a web app
I’ve been trying to help out with the app’s development and has been in a few conversations with the lead dev. Top notch dude! Has a really good vision for the app and is very good in handling all the community discussion.
Shit this is the best app so far! Hope they really release an app not just a page.
On Android, chrome has an option to add any page to your home screen which makes it function like an app. That's what I'm doing.
It also works on iOS
Yup, I'm using it like this but the performance is obviously subpar, especially compared to apollo
I’m still holding out hope that Christian will adapt Apollo to work with lemmy! But I fear it’s very unlikely
works with opera the same. the only thing reminding you its a webapp is the browser icon on the devices home screen.
I actually do this with kbin as well, though their “app” interface is nowhere near wefwef quality. Plus I am a Reddit refugee because I was a strong Apollo user, so the interface is like home to me.
did you click 'add to homescreen'? you'll be none the wiser that it's a web app
It must be amazing if it's taken you all the way down to 9%!
With your phone's last dying breath an inescapable urge came over you to say something nice about wefwef. Then you stood up and finally flushed the toilet.
And immediately face planted as your legs give in after 75 minutes without circulation.
Yeah there are a growing number of options. Hell, lemmy itself is now a web app. I'm using Memmy myself.
I can’t settle on one yet. I alternate between Wefwef and Memmy. Both are very good at bringing the Apollo vibes!
Memmy’s TestFlight has been full every time I check. Looking forward to trying.
Fwiw it literally just went into in review by Apple so it might be on the store in an hour or so here.
It’s in the store right now!
Replying from it right now! Thanks.
That’s a bummer. Hope you can get in soon. It is very similar to Wefwef, as they’re both going for Apollo, so you basically have the gist of it. They both have been getting frequent updates, so I flip flop on which I prefer. It’s been Wefwef until today, but right now, I think Memmy is slightly edging it out.
I'm all for it!
It's definitely currently the best app out there. However as an android user, the design paradigm feels very alien to me which makes me really miss Sync.
I'm used to Sync too, they're planning to launch a new version for Lemmy so we will have to wait
I'm currently using an app called thunder which has been great so far. Supports material you theming as well.
I'm curious what feels different to you? I came from Sync to Wefwef and it's been a smooth transition for me. It reminds me of how the sync layout used to be which I never updated from when he switched versions so that may be it.
Swiping a post away to return to the feed view was huge for me. I also changed the font size, adapted the comment swipe behavior to my liking, disabled various buttons and enabled others. All features that make it feel different for me.
But I was more talking about the general look and feel of the app which perfectly fits iOS, but not Android. Android usually has a burger menu that opens a sidebar on the left which contains the settings while iOS apps tend to have it in the bottom bar. The login is also mostly in there which is also different from iOS. Things like that.
It looks incongruous with Android's design, but I still like it. It's nice to have variety.
Sync for lemmy will be out in a month or so! Sync was easily the best looking Reddit app in excistence for Material You design. I'm sure Sync for lemmy will be the same.
Sync is basically the only non google app I've used that actually uses native material 3
Probably the best app out there for now. But it feels like I am using an apple app on an android phone
Wefwef has saved me from going back to Reddit.
All hail wefwef, the good boy of apps!
Just now I found out that I can't scroll to top by tapping the top bar of my phone on wefwef (PWA)
It’s a known issue. You need to tap on the post icon in the bottom tsk bar.
Hello there, and welcome to our community! I hope you like it in here.
Could you please include some body text as to why should people know this, and how would that help them? It’s our second rule. Thank you :)
I can't get it to work with Kbin. It only has a list of Lemmy instances and it doesn't recognise Kbin.
I don't think there are any apps that support both Lemmy and Kbin currently. Artemis says they'll eventually do both but not sure it's usable now.
Last I checked Kbin didn't have an API which is why you see fewer apps for Kbin I guess. Those that work do so by scraping the web pages. Maybe that's changed in the meantime.
And, with a few minor appearance setting adjustments, feels very similar to RIF.

It's surprisingly effective for what is basically a Web container, although it is worth noting it doesn't work very well if you try and install it via Firefox.
My biggest issue with it is that it doesn't run quite as well as a native app, because it basically runs inside of a browser, which might be something to watch out for if you have an older device (and if you have an old iDevice, it doesn't work at all). It might end up being unusably slow.
It’s completely broken for me after two days of error messages. It was working okay. I changed nothing and now nothing works art all.
Your instance was hit hard by the migration. This is normal. It’ll be better once Lemmy.world does some upgrades or once you move to another instance
Unfortunately for me I keep getting “problem fetching more posts” on ios. Works great on my desktop, though.
You might need to update the app, as silly as that sounds for a browser based app... In the settings there is a "Check for updates" option.
