Why YSK: looks very similar and functions like Apollo, if you're used to Apollo that's a great app for you, even if you do not, it's still one of the best apps for lemmy You can install the web app here: wefwef.app/settings/install or just use it on your browser here wefwef.app
Wefwef has saved me from going back to Reddit.
All hail wefwef, the good boy of apps!
I am astounded by how good wefwef is. Without question the best web app I've ever seen
Too good for a web app
I’ve been trying to help out with the app’s development and has been in a few conversations with the lead dev. Top notch dude! Has a really good vision for the app and is very good in handling all the community discussion.
Probably the best app out there for now. But it feels like I am using an apple app on an android phone
Connect for Lemmy is great IMO
This. It's still the best app for now, but I hate the iOs feeling. I'm waiting for Sync or Boost so much.
It's surprisingly effective for what is basically a Web container, although it is worth noting it doesn't work very well if you try and install it via Firefox.
My biggest issue with it is that it doesn't run quite as well as a native app, because it basically runs inside of a browser, which might be something to watch out for if you have an older device (and if you have an old iDevice, it doesn't work at all). It might end up being unusably slow.
What issues do you have running it via firefox? It seems fine for me, although I didn't try with chrome
Personally, I found it to be very sluggish compared to the inbuilt browser/Chrome, and vulnerable to a weird bug that Firefox seems to have on my device, where the entire browser engine stops working if you multitask/switch between apps, being stuck on a blank black/white screen until you close and restart the app.
Yeah same for me, firefox install feels sluggish whereas it runs smoother and faster with chrome. Maybe it has to do with how every site is optimized for chromium browsers nowadays.
Suggested method is to "install" the app: go to Settings, there's an option to install the app as a PWA there.
Unfortunately, that didn't really work properly for me when using Firefox on Android, and still runs into all the issues. Judging by the little firefox icon it put in, it installed as a Firefox web application, effectively running within the Firefox container, meaning it's still vulnerable to all the others that Firefox seems to have on my device.
It must be amazing if it's taken you all the way down to 9%!
With your phone's last dying breath an inescapable urge came over you to say something nice about wefwef. Then you stood up and finally flushed the toilet.
And immediately face planted as your legs give in after 75 minutes without circulation.
Just now I found out that I can't scroll to top by tapping the top bar of my phone on wefwef (PWA)
It’s a known issue. You need to tap on the post icon in the bottom tsk bar.
Now that the crashing issue has been fixed, Jerboaall the way.
Shit this is the best app so far! Hope they really release an app not just a page.
On Android, chrome has an option to add any page to your home screen which makes it function like an app. That's what I'm doing.
works with opera the same. the only thing reminding you its a webapp is the browser icon on the devices home screen.
I'm doing the same but with Firefox
Mull user around 😉
Hello there, and welcome to our community! I hope you like it in here.
Could you please include some body text as to why should people know this, and how would that help them? It’s our second rule. Thank you :)
It's definitely currently the best app out there. However as an android user, the design paradigm feels very alien to me which makes me really miss Sync.
I'm curious what feels different to you? I came from Sync to Wefwef and it's been a smooth transition for me. It reminds me of how the sync layout used to be which I never updated from when he switched versions so that may be it.
Swiping a post away to return to the feed view was huge for me. I also changed the font size, adapted the comment swipe behavior to my liking, disabled various buttons and enabled others. All features that make it feel different for me.
But I was more talking about the general look and feel of the app which perfectly fits iOS, but not Android. Android usually has a burger menu that opens a sidebar on the left which contains the settings while iOS apps tend to have it in the bottom bar. The login is also mostly in there which is also different from iOS. Things like that.
Yeah there are a growing number of options. Hell, lemmy itself is now a web app. I'm using Memmy myself.
