I just want to praise wefwef. On iOS it is a great app alternative which you can add to the homepage.
The user experience is very similar to Apollo . Honestly I was a bit afraid if I can switch but now I’m relaxed. This is a great alternative!

You should try memmy. It’s better and actually an app.
People should stop praising “an actual app” as an advantage.
There is nothing in functionality that a good PWA can’t do well for a Lemmy client. It’s cross platform and can be used in the browser of your choice, without the lock-in to a single app store.
People are coming from a closed system like Reddit because Reddit abused it’s power and now they’re asking for apps in a store where another company might do the same. I don’t get it.
Yep, if anything a PWA is more in the spirit of the fediverse
You’re right — PWAs can be feature rich and versatile. I’m glad they exist.
However, as much as I like wefwef (especially coming from Apollo), I don’t like having the URL bar perpetually taking up real estate like it does on iOS. I’m also much less likely to trigger browser-specific functions if I’m using a dedicated app.
Assuming the Lemmy platform remains open, I don’t have any issue supporting a developer for making a great app for it.
The issue with Reddit is not that devs were making third-party apps for it… it’s with the people running the platform.
It shouldn’t show the URL, have you added wefwef to the Home Screen?
I tried every app I could find on TestFlight:
For the moment WefWef is better than all of them.
I keep those apps installed to keep track of their advancement, because I usually prefer using native apps, but they are not ready yet and WefWef is just so great and works so well it’s hard to believe it’s a webapp
Mlem is also quite good. I’d say there isn’t a clear favorite yet. All have subtle pros and cons.
