The app has an amazing experience so far, because it feels like I'm just using Apollo, heaps of baked in features that no other app has so far. It's a web app so installation is pretty forward. Much love to the Devs!

(Side note: please change the name to something better. I recommend the name Voyager to keep up with the theme)

Installation:

https://wefwef.app/settings/install

WefWef's community page: c/wefwef

Update:

Having issues? It's to do with rate limitations, this should be resolved soon but right now you can Use:

Oh wow. This is really nice! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, now this is a reddit replacement! I love it. Thanks for the recommendation!

It is very smooth! Is this what Apollo looked like?

I was surprised to see all the auto-expanded images, but I guess I was expecting more of the old.reddit / reddit is fun aesthetic. So far, I've just been using the lemmy mobile site on firefox ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

iPhone 14 user here. Anyone else have trouble with the keyboard not coming up for login credentials? I also tried cut and paste function but my details aren’t recognised despite being 100% correct.

If you're loving wefwef because of it's Apollo likeness, then you need to checkout Memmy

It actually introduces all the features Apollo had with native haptics, slide interactions and navigations, push notifications, and more. The developers have been working hard and pushing releases daily (sometimes multiple per day).

As an Apollo users for the last 6 years, Memmy has been by far the best iOS app for Lemmy that I have tried (which have been Mlem, Thunder, Liftoff (prev. known as Limbo)

Yeah but it doesn’t look as close to Apollo as wefwef. It also doesn’t work as well on iPad, whereas wefwef has just nailed the aesthetic of Apollo right away.

Just stumbled upon this app a couple of hours ago and….. holy shit it’s just like Apollo! Excellent stuff.

You are a beautiful being.

Incredible app! Never realized a web app could be so sexy.

+1 for Voyager!

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

Totally agree. I never thought the best client would be a web app on my home screen, but here we are!

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

Thanks, installed. But still rooting for Memmy too! Love everyone who is stepping up to the plate for the mobile app scene!

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

I love it! The Lemmy web interface was acting a bit wonky at times, this is a great improvement.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I know this is an Apple sub, but is there an Android version? Checked the store and didn't see it, but not sure if it has to be sideloaded (which always seems sketchy if it is a legit app).

Is there actually an app or is this all web based? I can't figure it out.

This app is great. Thanks for pointing it out.

Are there any other PWAs or iPhone App Store apps worth checking out?

Edit: actually it’s broken I can’t comment from it. The iOS keyboard doesn’t open when opening the form to comment.

I use Memmy. I'm really liking it so far. Its not on the app store yet so you have to install it through TestFlight, go to the github on your phone, and then click the invite link. Isn't perfect but great so far

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

This is an awesome app, thanks!

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

This is looking good so far, really captures the Apollo feel well. Hoping it continues to develop and/or potentially becomes an iOS app at some point.

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

Indeed it's awesome, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a way to hide read posts?

Holy shit, THANK YOU!!

Oh my god, this looks incredible. Thanks for this!

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

I’m brand new to Lemmy but this looks great and makes me feel at home already! Thanks for the recommendation

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

One suggestion for wefwef is to be able to browse all communities of the particular instance you’re logged in to, or even better, have a page of all instances and the communities they encompass

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

On the front page of wefwef you can choose to look at communities you are subscribed to, all federated communities, or “local” communities aka communities from the instance you are logged in on!

It feels so weird iOS interface but a PWA, I’m a fellow Memmy user
