I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.

It’s good. It’s really really good.

So far my favourite is Memmy but I really like Wefwef too

I read about it yesterday and decided to give it a whirl. Still using it today. I'll try it on my phone in a while.

Edit: Works a treat in Firefox on iOS. It's a keeper.

I just mentioned wefwef to my better half. She just sniggered at me and said "has the world run out of names?"

[-] zahel@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah it’s my favorite so far as well!

Memmy and Mlem are great native apps

Woah, wefwef is awesome! Using it now!

Damn, this is good. Thanks for posting!!

It is certainly pretty close and has made moving over to Lemmy just that much easier for me when using my phone.

I don't really mind the regular interface but just got very used to the Apollo way of things and its nice to have it available.

Can I connect to other instances apart from 4 preset ones?

Edit. Yes, just go to middle icon att the bottom and log in.

For multilingual people. Please be aware that wefwef will fail upon posting comments, if you have selected more than 1 language in your Lemmy profile. Wefwef comes back with the error message that you need to select a language in your Lemmy profile.

WefWef rocks. It has a nice name, too.

[-] ipipip@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

This is going to be my go to app for mobile devices, thanks for making me aware of it!

[-] james@lemmy.jamesj999.co.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!

My PWAs always feel slow, unresponsive, and also run at what feels like 30fps rather than 120. Is this just how PWAs are? I'm using Firefox on Android.

[-] kraise@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

As an Android user, wefwef is such a fantastically designed app. I was still using an old iPhone and iPad Pro to browse Reddit as a longtime Apollo Ultra user so the UI is just perfect for my tastes.

[-] DJDarren@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, this is really nice. It'll be really cool once PWAs are usable on macOS and it'll become my go to way to access Lemmy.

[-] Riyria@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Omg I just checked out wefwef. I hope they release a downloadable app soon. The UI is fantastic.

[-] Natha@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, that's Apollo in a web browser.

[-] Nyla_Smokeyface@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using it right now and it's really cool!

...Why isn't the bookmark button working though?

[-] Klinkertinlegs@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I could kiss you OP. This is the best recommendation ever!

[-] Unwind2046@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

Wow this is great - thanks for the hot tip!!

[-] thoralf@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago

It can look as nice as it gets. A PWA remains a PWA. Yes, I understand that there are people that like it. I don't. I still hope for an Apollo port to Lemmy. But the development progress of Mlem and Memmy is remarkable as well.
