Highly recommend checking out wefwef - closest option to an Apollo clone as I've seen so far in terms of UI and functionality, and doesn't even need to be installed. Memmy is a very good second place option, but I've been using wefwef since I heard about it yesterday and ZI think it's better.
It's good but laggy. Swiping doesn't feels native unfortunately.
Are you using it as an installed PWA? I’m not having any issues with animations or scrolling. I have run into a few weird UI bugs with slide up menus within communities, but that’s about it.
As the Memmy dev I can also highly recommend wefwef. Great product for such a short lifespan.
Quick question: I noticed the API calls aren't (weren't?) compressed, is that on purpose?
Going outbound or inbound? Outbound the requests are super basic, inbound they are pretty large. There’s a lot of limitations on that.
For example to get basic user info you have to receive a bunch of other information that you’re not going to bother using. Hopefully in time this will get changed, because there’s no reason to be receiving so much data whenever you really only need a few bytes.
I started with Mlem and wasn’t a huge fan and was primarily using Memmy. But I decided to try mlem again as it’s been a while and it looks much better! Might be my new daily driver. I’ll give wefwef a try too.
Yeah like a week after I joined they completely changed the display, and it’s been my heavy hitter. Wefwef feels like I never left Apollo though.
I'm keeping Apollo on my phone for the memories 😢
Same with Infinity😅
Infinity for Everything (Threadiverse) is under development.
I deleted rif because I absolutely will click on it just by habbit
I will keep sync on my phone because everytime I accidentally open it, I will remember why I dislike reddit and vow never to go back.
I started using jerboa cause of a random suggestion, how does everyone feel about it? I noticed it doesnt collect user data and I think it said it encrypts stuff, which I like for privacy
I've only started using it, but I'm liking it alright. That being said, I'm going to use Sync as soon as it's available.
I am still getting used to it coming from RIF but it's growing on me.
I had to switch to connect for Lemmy, as jerboa was bugging out and not showing me anything on my feed from outside my local instance.
Waiting for sync for Lemmy but it's roughly 6 weeks away from release according to developer.
I would've liked to try it, but it crashes on app launch :/ using Connect For Lemmy instead
After being here for 5 minutes. After not knowing how to login 6 minutes ago.
I've already forgot reddit exists.
What's Reddit?
I am enjoying memmy
Same
The dev has done very well for such early releases.
Memmy has seriously improved over the past two weeks, it’s development has been extremely fast and I’m very impressed with my limited casual use so far.
I just changed the connect for lemmy icon to the Rif icon because it just felt weird without it lol
Any prior RIF users with some advice for which app to switch to for Lemmy that's the most similar?
It’s wild seeing the difference in number of votes and comments today compared to the last week or so since I signed up.
I wonder if Christian can reuse Apollo as a Lemmy client and keep the project going
Wefwef is a web app that is a near carbon copy of Apollo. It’s how I’m browsing and it’s great. Much better than the web interface.
Apollo is more like the wife who was murdered by Reddit, now watching you from heaven, hoping that you find a new social media platform to make you happy.
🤌
I want to use Liftoff, but it doesn't work with vlemmy.net
I just need to figure out how to add more “subreddits” or whatever they are called and how to switch between them but other than that this app feels great so far. Fuck Spez. Currently using Memmy

FYI, Memmy was JUST submitted to the AppStore at 8am yesterday. It’s waiting on review. 🤞
Memmy has had an amazing development cycle. Big thing that Thunder has that Memmy doesn’t is swipe access to my communities. Really like swiping in from the left in Thunder and having that list. Memmy you need to click the star and it’s a bit of a reach while one handed.
