This is honestly amazing and I cannot believe this hasn’t blown up yet. It is so close to the Apollo experience that I now have zero reason to stay on Reddit.

YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

As a total noob, I wasn't able to install it from github. (Which might be the reason for the app not blowing up.) Any advice for dummies?
I don't think you install anything, it's a website. Try using this link: https://wefwef.app/posts/lemmy.world/all
Thanks a lot!
Thank you! I just tried it and my Lemmy experience is so much better.
Yep its really impressive for such an early project.
Having said that I can't work out how to edit comments/posts I have made.
It would also be nice to have a preview of your comment too.
Hopefully they add that at some point.
It's incredibly fast as well. Beautiful UI
Holy shit. I’m always shocked when PWAs are this good.
This is incredible. It's so much better than Jerboa.
Thank you for posting this.
Arrived here from r/apolloapp and I’m pleasantly surprised! Perfect timing. I will miss Apollo as it shuts down tomorrow. Here’s hoping we have some good communities on Lemmy.
This is incredible. But UI is ios inspired. Seems out of place in Android.
Yes, very disorienting
Yeah wefwef is the best right now for Apollo fans. If they can jerry rig the auto-marking-as-read as you scroll past posts, that will be great.
Haven’t figured out why I can’t search nsfw communities. For science of course
Currently using this. The experience is quite smooth so far despite not loading posts at times. Seems to be a good alternative to browsing lemmy through Safari.
Been using it today and so far so good. Looking forward to improvements with the commenting UI and some more sort options like Top Day from the ‘official’ Lemmy web client.
Edit: would be good to be able to edit stuff too.
Thanks for this suggestion, I just started using it and it seems great far
Thank you for sharing! I had not stumbled across this yet—it looks great. Writing this message from it.
How do you get it on Android?
It's web-based, so you log into the site with your Lemmy credentials then click the menu button in your web browser and hit install. Info at https://wefwef.app/settings/install
Neat! I actually figured out liftoff, and I'm in contact with the dev to get images and media in posts to be visible while you comment (something rarely found in apps but super useful for transcribing) so I think I'm gonna stick with liftoff, but thank you for explaining!
Check out liftoff, I use it over jerboa. With the right settings it feels like I'm using rif again
Been using it today and it's been pretty good. Only bug is sometimes when I come back out of a post to the main feed, the feed becomes frozen. Need to click one of the menu buttons and return to the feed to get it working again.
Also by far my favorite client. Just wish I could make the text bigger for my aging eyes…
You can! Just to to Settings - Appearance
Ooooh, wasn’t there last time I looked, thanks !
Couldn’t figure out to reply to your comment though. Had to go to the website… :/
Long left swipe on the comment you want to reply to. It will show an arrow symbol on a blue background. As soon as you let go of the swipe, the text editor will pop up. It’s very similar to Apollo. I do miss the ability to customize the swipe gestures. Hopefully they implement that soon.
Duh! Thanks again !
I like it, but it's got the same problem as Thunder. I can't sort by top!
Thank you! Best Lemmy app I've used so far (only other one I've used is Memmy, but it's still working out kinks)
I don't see any of my communities in the main menu, but I can browse lemmy.world well enough so it's at least a good start! And it looks fantastic!
Personally, I'm very impressed by Memmy for iOS.
