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

Courtesy of [email protected] for telling us about it.

Update:

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

https://w.opnxng.com/settings/install

Here's the Dev's notes on that:

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.

Recent update changed the bottom nav up, but otherwise is pretty similar

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

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

It is completely web based. But if you bookmark it to the desktop it runs like an app even having an update to new release button in the settings to force the update of the javascript and stuff.

I works great I use it on my iPad and iPhone.

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

Its web based, but can be "installed" on both mobiles and desktop as a PWA which is Progressive Web App, essentially the same as using it in a browser but meant to function more like a "real" app

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

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 (2 children)

I installed the app. But have a question. Before logging in, it asks me to select a server. Now I created my account on ".ml" domain so here too I had to selected that only because when I selected ".world", it told me invalid credentials. Is that expected behavior?

I like it! I’m still trying to make sense of Lemmy and this app helps a lot. Thank you to everyone involved!

Spread the word!

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).

Been trying out Lemmy and have been looking for a good Apolo Alternative. I joined on lemmy.world, but pretty much any 3rd party app will just return "Record not found" or "User Not Found" or "Something went wrong"
Would this be due to lemmy.world's update to 1.18? or have I done something wrong?

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

Lemmy is taking me 20 sec just to load my profile. And I am browsing on my desktop. The site is getting SMOTHERED.

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

It looks great but I’m getting so many errors on it. Error loading posts, error voting, error opening messages…

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

I'm blown away what a great experience this is for a web app. Really.

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

Very Apollo like. Lightweight. As mentioned in above comment, I am also wondering about the username and password but I am not a code reader so I will trust the community to confirm.

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

Man, this is instantly better. Just wish the text editor had better support for markdown

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

For me (iPhone 12) The keyboard works in the web interface but not in the installed app. The cursor is there and the grey bar with the “Done” button, but no keyboard below that.

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

This is amazing. Using it in my iPad Mini right now!

Thank you! Looks good!

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

It really does feel like I'm using Apollo!

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

Giving this a go, and enjoying it so far.
