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

Courtesy of [email protected] for telling us about it.

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:

Absolutely the closest thing to Apollo. Hoping all the customizations Apollo had come next!

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

Really liking it so far. It’s super impressive how much it’s eased my migration from Reddit. I feel right at home here already. Almost!

[–] generalpotato 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] fartdumpster420 9 points 2 years ago

i'm writing this from the app. it looks and feels like apollo, so this is amazing. i really look forward to further development!

[–] Gingerlegs 8 points 2 years ago

Holy shit, THANK YOU!!

[–] ThatGirlKylie 8 points 2 years ago

Just installed it to my Home Screen. Acts just like an app. I’m new to these web app type things and spaced instances, but baby steps.

This already seems a lot better than Reddit.

[–] mingistech 8 points 2 years ago

I'm blown away what a great experience this is for a web app. Really.

[–] lenninscjay 8 points 2 years ago

Thanks, installed. But still rooting for Memmy too! Love everyone who is stepping up to the plate for the mobile app scene!

[–] nightscout 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] JesusTheCarpenter 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One thing that bugs me, and I found the same with Thunder, is that I cannot sort posts by Top (Day, Week, etc.). Any reason why that is?

I nearly cried when I saw the interface. I love the Squabbles community, but wefwef will make me a Lemmy user

[–] MaliciousDelicious 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Coming from RIF is there an Android app with a similar or next best UI?

So far seems like Jarboa, connect, and wefwef are the number one mobiles

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

[–] ToNIX 7 points 2 years ago

I'll be honest, I settled on using Jerboa after trying all other Android apps, I sincerely thought wefwef was iOS only. Oh boy was I wrong, it's hands down the best app of the bunch, and by really really far. I opened an issue today for compact mode and here it is, already!

If only there was a way to navigate top comments easily, that would be amazing!

[–] stinkypoopsalot 7 points 2 years ago

You are a beautiful being.

[–] rookie 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

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 🙂

I missed my chance to download the JSON file on Apollo. Am I SOL?

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

[–] garretble 6 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah this app is great. Good job, devs!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Doesn't really work that well for me, doesn't show the icon on the app button, can't change appearance in settings Using it through Firefox, not sure if that's the problem

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).

Apollo instantly crashes when I open it. Is there any way to get the Apollo json file export?

Wefwef supports importing it so you get subs of similar names

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s a PWA issue that I’ve hit a few times. Only solution is to restart the phone.

What a beauty! You got me! BTW: The keyboard did not appeared when I wanted to write here. A reboot of the iPhone helped.

[–] gabmartini 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is amazing. Using it in my iPad Mini right now!
