Coming from RIF, what is your favorite Lemmy app?
(lemmy.world)
Wefwef has been great for me so far
Mlem and WefWef are my favorites so far. I wish WefWef was a 'real' app but it's pretty impressive what they have done in a Web App.
I'd definitely like to get ahold of their iOS stylesheet or whatever tech they are using to make that look so iOS, but the layout of the app is terrible.
The layout (and design) is a clone of the extremely popular Reddit client, Apollo.
Most people loved Apollo. Some didn’t.
Apollo users would feel right at home with wefwef.
I love iOS's look (when it's on an intended device, not on my giant ass monitor, like here :D ) but man is it's organization a mess. Everything Apple produces is seriously unintuitive. If you give me an iPad, i'm going to be lost searching for basic functionality. If you give me a Mac, I can't even operate the damn thing.
I’m using the beta of Memmy and it’s my preferred, but WefWef is a close second. The only ding against WW is it’s a web app, not a native app and that’s my own preference. either option is solid
There is a native wefwef app for android and it feels very close to rif
I wondered why the rif developer doesn't just recode rif to point at lemmy tbh
The RIF dev, Talklittle, is building an app for tildes.net. But he's on the ferdiverse as well.
Personally, I'm really excited about that! I'm on Tildes as well and Tildes has become on of my favorite platforms that I discovered because of the API changes at Reddit. It has a small, but really nice community with great threads. I also really love the minimal interface: Fast and no distractions. Just text.
I still doesn't have a native app though and for some reason the mobile website is kinda sluggish on my phone. That might be my aging phone's fault, as it is a very quick site on my PC. but a RIF-like app would be amazing!
Edit: I just found out he showed a little preview for the app and asked for donations to Tildes (not to him, to Tildes. Because he is cool like that). Preview of the Tildes app here. I can certainly see the DNA of RIF in it! Just to be clear to anyone skimming through my comment: The is NOT an app for Lemmy (or Kbin)!
Edit 2: I'm on a different connection than last week now and now Tildes feels very responsive on my phone. So it was indeed a problem on my end.
I asked the same thing about Apollo and since this is federated the data is way different than Reddit and would take a lot of work to repurpose a Reddit client. Not saying they won’t but it sounds like it’s a bigger job than one would think
What do you mean with native wefwef app?
I mean, they might, at some point. But at the moment, the entire fediverse is still much smaller than Reddit, so there's currently less incentive...
Also, it's certainly not as easy as you make it sound to "just recode rif to point at lemmy"! If it was, one of us would have already done it...
I can't find wefwef on the play store, and the link leads to a dead site.
What's going on?
It's a web app, that means that you have to go to wefwef.app and install it from there
Yeah found it.
It appears to lag behind jerboa when I compare my feed in both platforms.
Memmy and Mlem right now are my two favorites. I much prefer the design of Mlem but I find there are some weird things about it, like the UI for posting comments.
Wefwef until Boost is released and I'll see which I prefer. I used to use Boost for Reddit so I'm expecting I'll use that.
I'm using Connect for Lemmy atm, it's not that bad. It's missing a decent amount of RiF features but give it time it might be a decent replacement. Atm I'm missing mostly collapsing comments and listing through the parent comments
You can long press on a comment to collapse it in Connect
I tried Connect, Jerboa and Wefwef. Wefwef has been my favorite overall, except for the fact that videos seem to auto-play (maybe I haven't found the right option to turn that off yet). Second was probably Jerboa, it looked pretty good but something about the timeouts and performance just didn't feel right. Plus I kept accidentally jumping back to the top of my feed, which is something I literally never want to happen. Connect wasn't great, I couldn't find a layout that showed full image and text posts without clicking on a thread :/
I don't think you should dismiss Connect just because it currently hasn't got features you want, out of all the apps that currently exist I find Connect far and above the best, bugs have been fixed pretty quickly and it's just the closest feeling app for me personally to RIF with how clean it all is
Tried Jerboa, Thunder, Connect and Liftoff on Android already.
Sticking with Liftoff for now.
Anxious for Memmy, tho.
I haven’t tried a lot. But Memmy for iOS is working quite well for me at the moment.
memmy, but its the only one I tried. I use it constantly

Did you use it to post this comment 4 times? 😂
Haha given the number of times that app keeps reposting the comment I’m not sure it’s a great selling point for quality.
There is also Thunder.
Swiping for most things took a couple of minutes to get used to. I like it now :)
So far I like Thunder the best, with a similar breakdown for Connect and Liftoff. Wasn't a fan of Jerboa. I miss the design of RIF is fun.
