I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.
It’s good. It’s really really good.
You must log in or register to comment.
Yes it is really nice but still browser based at the end of the day, therefore will not be a go-to for me.
Memmy has been good to me so far
Whatever you do, don’t look at what technologies Memmy uses.
Oh no, is it react native? I haven’t looked as deeply into memmy as I have other betas.
Truly waiting for a proper native app
Why?
Wefwef is great! I love the Apollo-export upload feature lets you find similar communities on Lemmy.
I just installed Mlem and Memmy. Both have a very nice UI and are smooth. I am leaning towards Mlem though. I like swiping right to view my communities.
Edit: I was an Apollo user and reddit does not feel the same without Apollo.
30 mins in and I’ve set up a Lemmy account, logged into Wefwef, added a bunch of subscriptions and now it’s about 85% like I’m still using Reddit. Amazing, and considerably better than I could have hoped for
It is. It doesn’t hide read posts, but that’s the only major thing it’s missing.
There is work done one this to hide post, it just needs reviewed and approved. Might need more for read part.
It seems to work well enough. I could use a little more information density, I wish I could turn off thumbnails, and a bunch of other nit-pick-y things, but it’s a good start.
Not sure if you are asking for a compact view? Because it does have that.
I have the compact view on and the font set to as small as I can. I would love to see the thumbnails turned off and some other extraneous info removed or compacted more. I need that information density!
I just want a text only app for Lemmy/kbin. No thumbnails, profile pictures, in app preview of posts, or inline comment images.
I just want post titles, self posts text, and comments.
So far my favourite is Memmy but I really like Wefwef too
I’m happily using wefwef both on my phone and on my computer. It has a really a great UI to browse/keep up with lemmy.
Pretty impressive! Not Apollo but close. Dismissing images is not as fluid.
The only thing missing for me after testing for 2 days is the swipe to go back a screen. You need to reach ALLLLLL the way across to the left edge of the screen and drag it ALLLLLL the way to the right to go back to your feed from a post. In Apollo I had it configured to only need a swipe from about the middle of the screen to the right edge. It’s very hard for me to reach that far comfortably and my muscle memory is all messed up right now. I keep doing the short swipe and I upvote someone’s post instead. If they can add this I will be extremely happy.
Edit: Also, I just realized after posting this comment that Apollo also had a feature where you go forward and backward a screen by swiping left or right on the bottom section. Extremely useful as well.
The one complaint I have is the lack of a native app; it doesn’t run as smoothly as the other Lemmy clients do on my phone.
It’s already amazing on my tablet though!
This is going to be my go to app for mobile devices, thanks for making me aware of it!
It’s good, but it needs a compact view (unless I simply haven’t found the option).

Edit: It looks like compact view arrived in the appearance settings. Nice.
Edit 2: It might need since better post error handling/feedback…
I’m an Android user and I never used Apollo, but wefwef is just amazing. It works surprisingly well, especially for a PWA. It will be my app of choice at least until Sync for Lemmy is out.
I’m feeling the same way. Can’t wait for Sync.
