Crazy to see how quickly a handful of talented developers have managed to build several feature-rich Lemmy apps in such a short amount of time. Really drives home the point that the reddit's official app—with it's 80 person dev team—must just suck on purpose.
It’s not really the devs that are to blame, but the management team.
I’m on wefwef as an Apollo replacement. Enjoying it!
They even now have a part where you can export your Apollo JSON data to look for subreddits like the ones you followed. I unsubscribed from all my subreddits, but good for others.
Yeah, wish I had seen that prior to nuking my Reddit account and Apollo install from orbit. Oh well, get to just rediscover everything organically now
Apollo locked everyone out after the API changes anyway so there was no way to export as of yesterday.
Memmy is winning so far for me.
Try WefWef. Really impressive for a lightweight webapp. It behaves like. Real app once installed on your home page.
I really like wefwef visually, but the scrolling on the homepage is a bit too buggy tbh.
Same here of the few I’ve tried. Mlem is cool too.
Same. Pace of development is impressive. 6 updates in the last 24 hours! And they’re noticeable improvements.
I stumbled upon Wefwef by accident right after setting up an account here and really like it.
Straight forward, easy to use and similar in appearance to Apollo and the older Reddit client.
Exactly what happened to me. I haven’t even tried anything else because I don’t feel like there’s a need.
It performs better than most native apps. These developers are rockstars.
Also is a great way to browse on the desktop. I have it open on the sidebar for Edge most of the day at work and do the same on SigmaOS while at home
Rexxit. Love it!
A+ folder name
Personally, I'm waitin for the Lemmy version of Sync to come out, but good luck in your search
I don't see the point of squabbles. It's just going to turn into reddit if it catches on. The fediverse at least has decentralization built in and is more flexible if someone becomes a jerk.
There are people that prefers a more straightforward reddit alternative, and Squabbles has been the most promising candidate so far. Not all wants to learn how all these fediverse stuff works.
Personally, I prefer Lemmy than Squabbles but it doesn’t hurt to contribute to more than 1 alternative to that shithole of a site.
yeah even their privacy policy already references an eventual buyout/acquisition so it's all gonna come down to profit driven motives eventually

Currently trying LiftOff via testflight and it’s not bad… given the state of development. I must say I do also enjoy this “dev” state after Rexxit. Thanks for the screenshot. Looks like I have some other apps to try as well.
Thanks to this thread, I discovered wefwef. It’s amazing what people can create in such a short amount of time! I legit feel like I’m using Apollo again.
Any Lemmy apps that remember your comment sort option? I vastly prefer "Top" to "Hot", but neither Jerboa nor Wefwef seem to have a way to change the default.
As of like a day ago, Memmy lets you change the sort order for comments. There’s no way to set the default yet, but I’m sure that will come at some point.
Which is the best one in your opinion?
Not OP, but currently using WefWef, and imo it feels the best!
It’s like Apollo right? But I feel that sometimes it stutters. Or maybe just just lemmy
I’m on wefwef and yeah it stutters a bit but I it feels similar to early Reddit instability vibes, it’s not annoying me much
The creator has also updated it constantly the last few days and it has gotten much better so far
Im testing out Wefwef, Calipso, and Pulse. So far wefwef is the best and looks pretty similar to Apollo
Me too! And for squabbles I’m using their site and Pulse, Calisto just doesn’t appeal to me for now.
Mine looks similar, though I haven’t got any squabbles. Gotta try a bunch and see what sticks! Two favourite apps at the moment are Memmy and Liftoff
Heh, that folder name gave me a good chuckle.
Memmy feels great to use so far. Their speed of development is amazing.
Nice. What is the Lemmy app?
That looks like the Lemmy.world web page homepage bookmark.
I’m liking Memmy best so far I think. WefWef does look so much like Apollo but it’s missing a few things, saved posts for one.
Yeah +1 for Memmy. Really impressed with how far it’s evolved in such a short time. I personally can’t imagine ever getting that amount of work done tbh.
Give connect for lemmy a shot. Almost everything RIF had is there, too.
Is this available for iOS, too? I’d like to try it out as well
Edit: a word
Rexxit 😂😂😂
wefwef FTW
How come when I search for these in the App Store nothing comes up? Are they early access only?
Everything with a yellow dot to the left of the name is a beta. You’ll need to use TestFlight to access them.
Get TestFlight from the App Store
Are calipso and pulse also for lemmy?
No, they’re Squabbles apps.
None of these are in my app store. None of the test flight apps request links have worked.
wefwef.app is a PWA (progressive web app). Just save the site to your Home Screen and it’ll act like an app but be run by your default browser
