Memmy is winning so far for me.

[–] LazaroFilm 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Try WefWef. Really impressive for a lightweight webapp. It behaves like. Real app once installed on your home page.

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

I really like wefwef visually, but the scrolling on the homepage is a bit too buggy tbh.

Same. Pace of development is impressive. 6 updates in the last 24 hours! And they’re noticeable improvements.

[–] unknown_artist 5 points 1 year ago

Same here of the few I’ve tried. Mlem is cool too.

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It’s not really the devs that are to blame, but the management team.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m on wefwef as an Apollo replacement. Enjoying it!

[–] Pandantic 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] reply2075 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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.

Im testing out Wefwef, Calipso, and Pulse. So far wefwef is the best and looks pretty similar to Apollo

[–] Kerandir 6 points 1 year ago

Me too! And for squabbles I’m using their site and Pulse, Calisto just doesn’t appeal to me for now.

Rexxit. Love it!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] CaffeinatedNerd 8 points 1 year ago

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.

A+ folder name

Personally, I'm waitin for the Lemmy version of Sync to come out, but good luck in your search

[–] acetuk 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Nice. What is the Lemmy app?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Heh, that folder name gave me a good chuckle.

Memmy feels great to use so far. Their speed of development is amazing.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Jackolantern 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Which is the best one in your opinion?

[–] radiated 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not OP, but currently using WefWef, and imo it feels the best!

[–] Jackolantern 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s like Apollo right? But I feel that sometimes it stutters. Or maybe just just lemmy

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

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

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

The creator has also updated it constantly the last few days and it has gotten much better so far

Rexxit 😂😂😂

[–] zav 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are calipso and pulse also for lemmy?

[–] CaffeinatedNerd 9 points 1 year ago

No, they’re Squabbles apps.

[–] InfiniteFlow 5 points 1 year ago

This reminds me of when Google’s rss aggregator (google reader?) went down. It spurred a wealth of new development in that field that was great for users. The whole Reddit debacle is having a similar effect and I am loving it!

[–] Hausmeister 5 points 1 year ago

For me, at the moment, It's wefwef. Mlem, thunder and liftoff! Are also good, but wefwef works for me the Best.

[–] liontigerwings 4 points 1 year ago

I tried it and it seems great for a web app. I still prefer a native option.

[–] Maeric 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] magicmuggle 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you set that wefwef app icon?
