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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

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 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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 love Memmy, but that icon looks like a clown tick.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

We already are looking at adding community icons. 🤘

I'm keeping Apollo on my phone for the memories 😢

Infinity for Everything (Threadiverse) is under development.

I deleted rif because I absolutely will click on it just by habbit

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.

The dev has done very well for such early releases.

I wonder if Christian can reuse Apollo as a Lemmy client and keep the project going

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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.

I just changed the connect for lemmy icon to the Rif icon because it just felt weird without it lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It’s wild seeing the difference in number of votes and comments today compared to the last week or so since I signed up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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.

Any prior RIF users with some advice for which app to switch to for Lemmy that's the most similar?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm using Connect for Lemmy and so far it's fairly good.

FYI, Memmy was JUST submitted to the AppStore at 8am yesterday. It’s waiting on review. 🤞

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Image Transcription: Meme


['Distracted Boyfriend' - A stock photo image of a man walking side by side with a woman in a blue shirt, holding hands, as a different woman in a red shirt walks past. The man appears to be whistling at the woman walking past, showing clear interest in her looks, while the woman he is walking with looks at him. The face of the woman next to him is replaced by the app icon for the app "Apollo for Reddit", while the woman he is looking at has her face replaced by the app icon for "Memmy for Lemmy"]

Started with Jerboa until the 0.18.0 issue, switched to Thunder which was buggier than I liked. But now that Liftoff is finally on F-Droid it feels like I've found the definitive Android client. Well until Artemis that is.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Sync for Lemmy is also coming!

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

Liftoff is my favorite so far. It's the closest to Infinity for Reddit, which is where I'm migrating from.
