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.

    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

    Pretty impressive! Not Apollo but close. Dismissing images is not as fluid.

      This. People want and need a real app on the official stores to migrate from Reddit. I’m using Connect right now for this reason, but I hope it gets better

      It’s an actual webapp, so no, it probably won’t unless they convert the codebase to react native.

      I’ve only found a few things that I’m missing from a native experience and I’m sure it can be fixed.

      Most annoyingly is the “scroll-to-top” by double tapping the top of the screen doesn’t work.

      Otherwise I think in terms of smoothness it’s better than Mlem.

    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

    I just tied wefwef, and it’s brilliant! It really gives the Apollo feel and even allows for multiple accounts for different instances. Feels like coming home 🙂

    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.

      I tried those 2 as well but Wefwef is really better despite being a web app.

    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!

    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…

      Check out their github to see how new this actually is. I’m blown away that it actually works most of the time and new major features arrive daily.

    For multilingual people. Please be aware that wefwef will fail upon posting comments, if you have selected more than 1 language in your Lemmy profile. Wefwef comes back with the error message that you need to select a language in your Lemmy profile.

    I love it. It’s good beehaw doesn’t allow downvoting though because I accidentally would be downvoting a lot as I try and swipe back

      There is work done one this to hide post, it just needs reviewed and approved. Might need more for read part.
