wefwef for lemmy
wefwef.app
wefwef is a beautiful mobile web client for lemmy. Enjoy a seamless experience browsing the fediverse.

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

    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 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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
