The app has an amazing experience so far, because it feels like I'm just using Apollo, heaps of baked in features that no other app has so far. It's a web app so installation is pretty forward. Much love to the Devs!

(Side note: please change the name to something better. I recommend the name Voyager to keep up with the theme)

Installation:

https://wefwef.app/settings/install

Update:

Having issues? It's to do with rate limitations, this should be resolved soon but right now you can Use:

https://w.opnxng.com/settings/install

Here's the Dev's notes on that:

If you're loving wefwef because of it's Apollo likeness, then you need to checkout Memmy

It actually introduces all the features Apollo had with native haptics, slide interactions and navigations, push notifications, and more. The developers have been working hard and pushing releases daily (sometimes multiple per day).

As an Apollo users for the last 6 years, Memmy has been by far the best iOS app for Lemmy that I have tried (which have been Mlem, Thunder, Liftoff (prev. known as Limbo)

Yeah but it doesn’t look as close to Apollo as wefwef. It also doesn’t work as well on iPad, whereas wefwef has just nailed the aesthetic of Apollo right away.

Bumped into this app yesterday and it’s so user friendly! Can’t wait for more features to be added.

[–] Esjee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just downloaded it because of this post and I gotta say, it's fucking brilliant.

I know this is an Apple sub, but is there an Android version? Checked the store and didn't see it, but not sure if it has to be sideloaded (which always seems sketchy if it is a legit app).

[–] Demigod787@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's a webapp, works on Android and iOS. Have fun, here's the testimony of some lads who tried it while on Android:

On Android it’s like cheating on your spouse.

Feels like I’m cheating on my spouse with my ex and have just remembered why she became my ex.

This is looking good so far, really captures the Apollo feel well. Hoping it continues to develop and/or potentially becomes an iOS app at some point.

[–] Yetidpm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It’s so weird how eerily similar it is to Apollo haha, but I’m more than happy to use it. I’m using Memmy at the moment, first day using Lemmy!

[–] lockieluke3389@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It feels so weird iOS interface but a PWA, I’m a fellow Memmy user

[–] rookie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is nice! my only suggestion would be the ability to minimize cards for a text feed, if that's something that's eventually possible.

I like how smooth wefwef is, but if I could keep everything from auto-expanding (i.e. just scrolling through titles instead) it'd be closer to the old.reddit / RiF experience 🙂

[–] tartan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just stumbled upon this app a couple of hours ago and….. holy shit it’s just like Apollo! Excellent stuff.

[–] good_hunter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m so confused. How can it be so rich without being a full blown app? I have been enjoying Memmy, but can’t really find what separates the two.

Oh my god, this looks incredible. Thanks for this!

[–] 5SpeedDeasil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I use Memmy. I'm really liking it so far. Its not on the app store yet so you have to install it through TestFlight, go to the github on your phone, and then click the invite link. Isn't perfect but great so far

[–] Nekobambam@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I like it! I’m still trying to make sense of Lemmy and this app helps a lot. Thank you to everyone involved!

[–] jcalais@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wefwef is gorgeous for sure and eerily familiar to ex Apollo users. It does show the red error message a lot though. It even said my user doesn’t exist when I logged in, but somehow I am still logged in. And it only lets me upvote every second click. We’ll see if it lets me post this.

But visually it’s a pretty stellar effort.

[–] drewx0r@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Totally agree. I never thought the best client would be a web app on my home screen, but here we are!

[–] exterstellar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a way to hide read posts?

This is an awesome app, thanks!

[–] Makeshift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, now this is a reddit replacement! I love it. Thanks for the recommendation!

[–] rookie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It is very smooth! Is this what Apollo looked like?

I was surprised to see all the auto-expanded images, but I guess I was expecting more of the old.reddit / reddit is fun aesthetic. So far, I've just been using the lemmy mobile site on firefox ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] joey_needs_sleep@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Been trying out Lemmy and have been looking for a good Apolo Alternative. I joined on lemmy.world, but pretty much any 3rd party app will just return "Record not found" or "User Not Found" or "Something went wrong"
Would this be due to lemmy.world's update to 1.18? or have I done something wrong?

Absolutely. If it just simplified the sign up by randomly choosing a non controversial instance to register on (vlemmy.net, reddthat.com, lemm.ee etc), it'd already be recommendable to non-lemmy users.

beehaw.org is too controlling, lemmy.world is overloaded and blocked by beehaw, and lemmy.ml is having trouble federating with kbin. I'm sure these will be addressed later and they're all still usable... but yeah

Also, +1 to Voyager, wefwef does not go down well with non-lemmings

iPhone 14 user here. Anyone else have trouble with the keyboard not coming up for login credentials? I also tried cut and paste function but my details aren’t recognised despite being 100% correct.

Oh wow. This is really nice! Thanks for sharing!

[–] foundingPapa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

One suggestion for wefwef is to be able to browse all communities of the particular instance you’re logged in to, or even better, have a page of all instances and the communities they encompass

[–] stripes@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

On the front page of wefwef you can choose to look at communities you are subscribed to, all federated communities, or “local” communities aka communities from the instance you are logged in on!
