This Apollo inspired Lemmy website can be installed as a webapp on any phone, and it works flawlessly and has a beautiful design. Currently, it's the best Lemmy app. I highly recommend it.

No compact view is a no go for me

I’d argue Memmy is pretty damn close! Wefwef is really nice and is probably closest to Apollo in terms of look and feel right now. Memmy already has some things over wefwef however such as multiple themes and push notifications. Honestly tho it’s all preferences and I’m just happy we have so many options in active development!

Yeah, Memmy is far and away my favorite way to browse Lemmy so far.

In case anyone hasn’t seen the link:

This question is more related to the overall Lemmy/kbin experience and not necessarily wefwef, but is there a potential function in the works to hide posts? That’s what I loved about Apollo, I could manually hide posts (I had it as a swipe feature) or have it auto hide read posts. It kept my feed looking much more fresh, and it’s honestly the biggest thing I’m missing in the transition.

That’s been worked on according to the GitHub issues and is going to be added to wefwef even though it’s not a native Lemmy function.

That’s great to hear, thanks. I honestly didn’t know if it was just a thing for Apollo, did other apps have it as a feature? I went from AlienBlue to Apollo so haven’t experienced a lot of them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yup. That’s a native Reddit feature so it is part of the implementation of a lot of apps. In wefwef’s case I’m not sure how they developed it because I don’t think that’sa native feature of Lemmy

The iOS styling is nice, I bet iPhone users would love this. Seems like true black background for OLED users too.

I don't like that tapping on the Posts button doesn't show you posts, it shows you a list of filters for the posts you might want to browse. I'd much prefer it just show me the posts using default or last-used parameters and add a button to change them instead.

Are they planning on releasing an actual app? I don’t have anything against web apps, but iPhone doesn’t let you add them to the App Library, only the Home Screen…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it’s really nice :-). I really like the progress I’m seeing on this platform since joining 2 weeks ago.

I have been using Mlem for Lemmy (an iOS app that is in beta). You have to install it through Testflight, but it is beautiful and reminds me of Apollo a bit. I highly recommend it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Having it available as a web app is very nice!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd prefer a native app, as web apps are still not as fast a native apps and probably never will.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You really should try it. I found it faster than some native apps.
