Things will climax once sync for reddit releases their Lemmy app in 2-4 weeks
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
https://wefwef.app
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)
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.
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!)
I’m really enjoying wefwef. It’s basically Apollo for lemmy
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.
A lot of us are looking forward to that day.
So far Connect for Lemmy feels close to sync. So far it's working great on Android.
