Things will climax once sync for reddit releases their Lemmy app in 2-4 weeks

[–] Fester@lemm.ee 38 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The apps are going to be a game changer. If they can make it easier and intuitive to sign up, manage your accounts, find communities, and eventually group communities together and filter your feed, casual users will start flocking. It’s all about the UX and UI.

I hope to see the apps even accept donations and distribute part of it to the Lemmy devs and server hosts to help keep things sustainable.

As an Apollo user, switched to wefwef and suddenly its like Reddit 10 years ago. Lots of interesting and weird content with great UX.

Is wefwef only for iPhone? I can't seem to find it in the Google store.

Wefwef is a web app. You should be able to get it on anything with a browser.

wefwef.app

Awesome thanks 😊

It's a web app. Recently it's become even more optimised, I can now type and navigate Lemmy without any lag on my phone at all. It's not as choppy as you'd expect websites to be.

I use it as a web page on Android until sync for Lemmy comes out and it works great for me

[–] didnt_readit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Same! Also I just installed the Mlem beta and while it’s a bit buggy, it already works pretty well and it seems to work better for me than Wefwef (and it’s native which for me is a plus)

[–] RatzChatsubo@vlemmy.net 10 points 2 years ago

That and hopefully each app will create their own federations. It will be a refreshing to see the developers become the leaders

For those waiting, definitely try out Memmy for iOS. Right now it is in Test Flight, but should be releasing any day now. The dev seems super passionate and the app has gotten exponentially better in just a couple weeks.

[–] dm21@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I’m keen to give it a go but the beta is full. Am keeping an eye out for the app store release! In the meantime Wefwef is excellent and I may end up sticking with it anyway (no harm in shopping around though!)

[–] SpicyTofuSoup@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago

I’m really enjoying wefwef. It’s basically Apollo for lemmy

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

I've been switching between Memmy and Mlem. Both have their share of missing features right now, I'm usually sticking with one until I hit a need to switch.

Both are great, Memmy is the winner so far.

[–] wilberfan@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

A lot of us are looking forward to that day.

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

So far Connect for Lemmy feels close to sync. So far it's working great on Android.
