I’m using WefWef.app for Lemmy and it’s awesome.
It’s a straight-up Apollo clone as a web app.
I am floored.
Wefwef is amazing. Only thing that I’ve noticed I’m missing so far is the endless moving back and forward by swiping to right/left.
It’s crazy to me that this is a web app. I usually prefer native apps, but this thing? Wow.
Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.
No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.
I just switch a couple of days ago and I feel more willing to post and comment
My last day on Reddit I shared an excited post about a fun thing in a hobby sub of mine and I got such awful negative responses and people telling me I was attention seeking. It was really ugly. So that was pretty much when I decided to uninstall my Boost app and switch to Lemmy full time
Y'all are missing the real tragedy of this situation. This api fiasco means the end of RTV, reddit terminal viewer, the world's finest TTY compatible reddit client. The days of reading reddit on an electronic typewriter are over.
Can't show them ads so they probably don't care.
As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it's basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/
I found wefwef and it was the only thing making me less sad when I deleted Apollo. Basically feels like Reddit in 2010-2011 but with a modern third party Reddit interface. Better experience and I don’t have to support /u/spez? Sign me up.
As a former Apollo user, wefwef is a god send. Absolutely love it.
It's time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!
The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They've become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.
Much like Google's motto used to read; don't be evil.
Rif refugee reporting in
Tried the "official" app for the first time in years, uninstalled after 10 min... RIP Rif
RIP boost.
Boost for Lemmy is coming.
Is this real life? I found boost just shortly before everything went down cuz I had reached my breaking point with promoted shit. Having it for lemmy would be awesome!
Can't wait for more Reddit refugees
Hi, I'm a reddit refugee. Just set up an account and am using Connect app. It took me a while to stop unlocking my phone and slecting the rif icon, muscle memory is pretty weird thing.
Very new to this as I'm sure many others are. Finding my feet, and am looking forward to creating new muscle memory for this!
Same for me except I was previously using Reddit Sync Pro.
Have you signed up for the Sync for Lemmy beta?
I was a Reddit sync user. Are you telling me there's going to be the same app for Lemmy!? And I thought I would spend less time scrolling my phone! 🤣
Apollo refugee here. Wefwef and Lemmy are very nice :)
there’s something comforting seeing other Apollo friends here. Good to have you here!
Reporting in!
I didn’t know who Huffman, spez or the fact there was a bid to IPO until Apollo’s announcement of closure occurred. Why? Because I didn’t subscribe the Reddit’s main subreddits, I was very niche.
Once I learned about all that, I vowed if they didn’t reverse their standing and treatment of Christian, I was leaving.
Once the last week of June came and Spez triple-downed on his terrible business decision, I began using tools to destroy all of my content including topics I made that were all ranking #1 in Google, that causes plenty of PMs years after creation.
I’ve since deleted all but one account that I’ll probably hold onto just in case they decide to block my access to information I need.
I’ve deleted Apollo, Reddit’s official app and logged out on all browsers across all platforms I use. I’m done and liking WefWef as a replacement.
You should reinstall Apollo and listen to the tribute song in it. It was beautiful.
RedditSync checking in. Looking forward to the LemmySync app in development.
I'm dropping Reddit completely in a social aspect. I'll definitely be using it for the treasure trove of information it contains.
Sync refugee here, RIP Sync. I can't wait for Sync for Lemmy.
