Highly recommend checking out wefwef - closest option to an Apollo clone as I've seen so far in terms of UI and functionality, and doesn't even need to be installed. Memmy is a very good second place option, but I've been using wefwef since I heard about it yesterday and ZI think it's better.
It's good but laggy. Swiping doesn't feels native unfortunately.
Are you using it as an installed PWA? I’m not having any issues with animations or scrolling. I have run into a few weird UI bugs with slide up menus within communities, but that’s about it.
As the Memmy dev I can also highly recommend wefwef. Great product for such a short lifespan.
I started with Mlem and wasn’t a huge fan and was primarily using Memmy. But I decided to try mlem again as it’s been a while and it looks much better! Might be my new daily driver. I’ll give wefwef a try too.
If you're on an iPhone, https://wefwef.app is pretty much the best and easiest way to get up and running. Way more options on Android right now, though.

The man appears to be whistling at the woman walking past, showing clear interest in her looks, while the woman he is walking with looks at him. The face of the woman next to him is replaced by the app icon for the app "Apollo for Reddit", while the woman he is looking at has her face replaced by the app icon for "Memmy for Lemmy"]

Apollo is more like the wife who was murdered by Reddit, now watching you from heaven, hoping that you find a new social media platform to make you happy.
Great news, My favourite Reddit app Boost is officially making the migration to Lemmy.

I'm so happy about that.
I love Memmy, but that icon looks like a clown tick.
We already are looking at adding community icons. 🤘
I wonder if Christian can reuse Apollo as a Lemmy client and keep the project going
He addressed that a bit ago. That kind of undertaking would be pretty big, since the data structure on the back end is so much different. It’s not out of the question, but not something he wants to do right now.
Wefwef is a web app that is a near carbon copy of Apollo. It’s how I’m browsing and it’s great. Much better than the web interface.
Any prior RIF users with some advice for which app to switch to for Lemmy that's the most similar?
This is just a comment to have myself counted as part of the reddit migration
🤌
I started using jerboa cause of a random suggestion, how does everyone feel about it? I noticed it doesnt collect user data and I think it said it encrypts stuff, which I like for privacy
Yeah, it's not too bad here. Got a dope username and gonna go on a spree searching up some cool new communities. There will always be enough people relaying all the reddit content, so why bother ig
memmy is fucking lit. i love watching it evolve in real time with us :)
Started with Jerboa until the 0.18.0 issue, switched to Thunder which was buggier than I liked. But now that Liftoff is finally on F-Droid it feels like I've found the definitive Android client. Well until Artemis that is.
Memmy has seriously improved over the past two weeks, it’s development has been extremely fast and I’m very impressed with my limited casual use so far.
It’s wild seeing the difference in number of votes and comments today compared to the last week or so since I signed up.
FYI, Memmy was JUST submitted to the AppStore at 8am yesterday. It’s waiting on review. 🤞
Actually it's reddit I'm looking away from. Not Apollo. Memmy is good. In a better state than mlem I'd say.
Memmy is excellent
Yup, you and a lot of other people, probably why it's being hugged to death at the moment.
