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

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.

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

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.

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!

My biggest question is, will it eventually be an actual app?

This is uncanny. Thanks!

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 🙂

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.

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

wefwef is the best, I really stopped caring about all the other apps being under development. Just mind that using it with Firefox really is absolutely lagging (which is kind of a shame) and that (currently) Chrome gets you the best performance. Feels like a native Android app.

Considering that this is a webapp, it gives far better experience than Jerboa, Thunder. Wefwef It is fast and smooth. Jerboa is fast but laggy. Thunder is laggy but smooth.

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 happily using wefwef both on my phone and on my computer. It has a really a great UI to browse/keep up with lemmy.

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

+1 wefwef.app my favorite so far

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.

It’s good, but it needs a compact view (unless I simply haven’t found the option).

It’s as if Apollo has been reborn. How wild! I recommend giving wefwef or Memmy a try.

This is going to be my go to app for mobile devices, thanks for making me aware of it!

It is certainly pretty close and has made moving over to Lemmy just that much easier for me when using my phone.

I don't really mind the regular interface but just got very used to the Apollo way of things and its nice to have it available.

I'm really digging Wefwef, but I'm an android user so I feel like I'm crossing some weird rubicon of using an Apple UI from a non Apple device.

I guess what I'm saying... Ladies... Is that I'm dangerous.

It is. It doesn’t hide read posts, but that’s the only major thing it’s missing.

New favorite way to use lemmy.

Great design, feels responsive, works everywhere…

PWAs are great, and for 99% of use cases are more than enough. We need a fake App Store that “installs” PWAs in people devices in a transparent way.

Also let’s hope Apple is forced to open iOS to alternative rendering engines and complete full features browsers.

And for a final irony boost, the PWA thing is the “”””original”””” vision for smartphones, at least according to Steve Jobs during the original iPhone keynote. Full circle and stuff.

Oh, this is really nice. It'll be really cool once PWAs are usable on macOS and it'll become my go to way to access Lemmy.

Wow, can you link it?

Edit: I found it and wow it really is exactly like Apollo!

I am trying it now for the first time on Android. But everytime I want to go back with the back button of the navbar, the app quits. Is that intended behavior?

It can look as nice as it gets. A PWA remains a PWA. Yes, I understand that there are people that like it. I don't. I still hope for an Apollo port to Lemmy. But the development progress of Mlem and Memmy is remarkable as well.

Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!

Woah, wefwef is awesome! Using it now!

Wow this is great - thanks for the hot tip!!

Can I connect to other instances apart from 4 preset ones?

Edit. Yes, just go to middle icon att the bottom and log in.
