YSK: wefwef is a web app that look very similar to Apollo and works on both android and ios

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

I am astounded by how good wefwef is. Without question the best web app I've ever seen

Shit this is the best app so far! Hope they really release an app not just a page.
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.
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.
It looks incongruous with Android's design, but I still like it. It's nice to have variety.
Probably the best app out there for now. But it feels like I am using an apple app on an android phone
Wefwef has saved me from going back to Reddit.

All hail wefwef, the good boy of apps!
Just now I found out that I can't scroll to top by tapping the top bar of my phone on wefwef (PWA)
Yeah there are a growing number of options. Hell, lemmy itself is now a web app. I'm using Memmy myself.
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 :)
I can't get it to work with Kbin. It only has a list of Lemmy instances and it doesn't recognise Kbin.
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.
Unfortunately for me I keep getting “problem fetching more posts” on ios. Works great on my desktop, though.
It’s completely broken for me after two days of error messages. It was working okay. I changed nothing and now nothing works art all.
And, with a few minor appearance setting adjustments, feels very similar to RIF.

On Android, I was not able to install it using Firefox (Button was there, but clicking it did nothing), but was using Google Chrome.
Been loving wefwef, but how do I add more instances to the app? I’ve been trying to add libreddit but it’s not available.
I’ve looked at wefwef and it looks good, but I just don’t want to use a PWA. I don’t want a middle man between my phone and lemmy. Even if the app creator doesn’t do anything sketchy, it’s just another place for there to be security vulnerabilities.

I know I can self host it, but that just makes my home network more vulnerable, and I don’t really want to go through the trouble of setting that up and maintaining it.

I’ve been using Mlem. It’s very much in the beta phase, but it’s getting significantly better with every update, and it runs on my phone rather than on someone else’s server.
is it on FDroid?
Now that the crashing issue has been fixed, Jerboaall the way.
Damn, our bean downvoting boys keep getting exposed.
