Crazy to see how quickly a handful of talented developers have managed to build several feature-rich Lemmy apps in such a short amount of time. Really drives home the point that the reddit’s official app—with it’s 80 person dev team—must just suck on purpose.
It’s not really the devs that are to blame, but the management team.
I’m on wefwef as an Apollo replacement. Enjoying it!
They even now have a part where you can export your Apollo JSON data to look for subreddits like the ones you followed. I unsubscribed from all my subreddits, but good for others.
Yeah, wish I had seen that prior to nuking my Reddit account and Apollo install from orbit. Oh well, get to just rediscover everything organically now
Apollo locked everyone out after the API changes anyway so there was no way to export as of yesterday.
Set your clock back to a date before the 30
There’s been another update and that doesn’t work now either.
Thanks to this thread, I discovered wefwef. It’s amazing what people can create in such a short amount of time! I legit feel like I’m using Apollo again.
Memmy is winning so far for me.
Try WefWef. Really impressive for a lightweight webapp. It behaves like. Real app once installed on your home page.
I really like wefwef visually, but the scrolling on the homepage is a bit too buggy tbh.
Not sure if it WefWef or the fact that the Lemmy server are under heavy load while being updated to beta versions an in a day.
Ever since I started using wefwef, about 3 days ago, it has had that issue—the other 4 clients I’ve tried haven’t.
Fwiw, I ain’t trying to throw shade at wefwef, it’s just something I’ve been a bit displeased to experience by using the app.
Same. Pace of development is impressive. 6 updates in the last 24 hours! And they’re noticeable improvements.
Same here of the few I’ve tried. Mlem is cool too.

I stumbled upon Wefwef by accident right after setting up an account here and really like it.
Straight forward, easy to use and similar in appearance to Apollo and the older Reddit client.
Exactly what happened to me. I haven’t even tried anything else because I don’t feel like there’s a need.
It performs better than most native apps. These developers are rockstars.
Any Lemmy apps that remember your comment sort option? I vastly prefer “Top” to “Hot”, but neither Jerboa nor Wefwef seem to have a way to change the default.
As of like a day ago, Memmy lets you change the sort order for comments. There’s no way to set the default yet, but I’m sure that will come at some point.
I have no idea who thought “Hot” was a good default sort for comments anyway. The sane default is obviously Top.
wefwef FTW
Which is the best one in your opinion?
Not OP, but currently using WefWef, and imo it feels the best!
It’s like Apollo right? But I feel that sometimes it stutters. Or maybe just just lemmy
I’m on wefwef and yeah it stutters a bit but I it feels similar to early Reddit instability vibes, it’s not annoying me much
The creator has also updated it constantly the last few days and it has gotten much better so far
How does the update function work?
I open the web app from my Home Screen, see a notification for an update in settings. Tap update. Takes me back to main page with notification gone.
What exactly is it updating if it’s a web app?
I am using liftoff and loving it so far .
A+ folder name
Personally, I’m waitin for the Lemmy version of Sync to come out, but good luck in your search
How did you get the actual lemmy.world app? I’m using liftoff for limmy.world, unless I’m doing something wrong and I’m sure I am. Lol
Rexxit. Love it!
Mine looks similar, though I haven’t got any squabbles. Gotta try a bunch and see what sticks! Two favourite apps at the moment are Memmy and Liftoff
Different App icon for Memmy for me. Is there a newer version?
I also have like 6 installed. It’s helpful right now because posting and commenting frequently hangs forever on submit. The only way you can know your comment got posted is to switch to another app and check!
Nice. What is the Lemmy app?
That looks like the Lemmy.world web page homepage bookmark.
I’m liking Memmy best so far I think. WefWef does look so much like Apollo but it’s missing a few things, saved posts for one.
Yeah +1 for Memmy. Really impressed with how far it’s evolved in such a short time. I personally can’t imagine ever getting that amount of work done tbh.
That’s a webapp (just save lemmy page to your homescreen)
