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

WefWef's community page: c/wefwef

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:

w.opnxng.com - wefwef hosted by Opnxng in Singapore.

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).

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

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

[–] Smurfe 5 points 2 years ago (5 children)

It's pretty good but so far, I prefer Connect for Lemmy. They are both close though.

I’m brand new to Lemmy but this looks great and makes me feel at home already! Thanks for the recommendation

[–] thisisdee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It looks great but I’m getting so many errors on it. Error loading posts, error voting, error opening messages…

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say this just is Apollo, but pulling from a different API.

[–] mazwio 5 points 2 years ago (7 children)

I don't have an "add to home screen" like the instructions say to do.

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?

Very nice. Thanks for the call-out!

[–] entropicshart 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

I've not tried it (and I'm on android), but just gotta mention: pretty cool that we're all in a spot to discuss/rate/complain about/debate so many different apps for Lemmy now.

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

Thanks for the post. Installed to Home Screen on iPhone. Working nicely to start. Looks good.

[–] Fandangalo 5 points 2 years ago

Giving this a go, and enjoying it so far.

[–] tylerthehuman 4 points 2 years ago

trying it out now. so far liking the design. does feel like apollo/iOS.

[–] lockieluke3389 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] bisq 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It’d be great if I could login. It keeps saying I have the wrong password, but I copied right from LastPass like I do here lol.

Can’t upvote this fast enough! Hands down best lemmy experience so far. Will be hard to beat.

[–] Dick_Justice 4 points 2 years ago

I never used Apollo, but I love wefwef (and the name is great, don't change a thing ;)

[–] exterstellar 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there a way to hide read posts?

Yooo that’s amazing. I was using Memmy but I’ll switch over to wefwef. It looks just like Apollo!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Just joined and downloaded. This is a great app!
