The app has an amazing experience so far, because it feels like I’m just using Apollo, heaps of baked in features that no other app has so far. It’s a web app so installation is pretty forward. Much love to the Devs!

(Side note: please change the name to something better. I recommend the name Voyager to keep up with the theme)

Installation:

https://wefwef.app/settings/install

WefWef’s community page: c/wefwef

Courtesy of KillaBeez@lemmy.world for telling us about it.

Update:

Having issues? It’s to do with rate limitations, this should be resolved soon but right now you can Use:

https://w.opnxng.com/settings/install

Here’s the Dev’s notes on that:

w.opnxng.com - wefwef hosted by Opnxng in Singapore.

    6+ year Apollo user here and I tried a bunch of apps prior to this one that just didn’t quite have the UI and features I was looking for. If you used Apollo, you’ll feel 100% at home on WefWef; it’s almost identical.

    Weird name but it’s really an amazing app, it was the final thing to click and made lemmy a full Reddit replacement for me.

    EDIT: This is now resolved, because @ruud@lemmy.world is awesome.

    hi! wefwef dev here.

    https://wefwef.app is getting rate limited by lemmy.world. The growth in traffic over the last 24 hours has been incredible.

    That’s why you’re probably getting error messages. Hang in there, we’re working it out. :-)

    In the meantime, self host (it’s just a simple docker container!) or use a community deployment (if you trust the administrator).

      hi! lemmyworld admin here.

      If I did it right, wefwef.app should no longer be rate-limited. Please let me know if it worked.

        Contrast this interaction with the spaz/Christian public dust-ups, and let’s all feel fortunate to be here. Thanks to both of you devs for making cool stuff.

    I nearly cried when I saw the interface. I love the Squabbles community, but wefwef will make me a Lemmy user

    Just saved this to my home screen, am I right in saying that it’s just a webapp and not a full blown app? Seems to work fine so far!

      It’s a progressive web app, which means when installed it has some extra powers that other web apps don’t (like more access to device APIs, offline support, etc.) It was actually what all iPhone apps were meant to be before Apple gave up and made the app store.

      Sadly iOS’s PWA support has fallen a bit by the wayside compared to PWAs in Android but it’s picking up.

      It’s what’s known as a “progressive web app.” A weird in-between of a native app and a web app

        Seems to work well so far, not sure I like clicking on a comment collapses it, would like the upvote/downvote/reply options underneath the comment but it’s early days and nothing that won’t be ironed out over time

          It’s a copy of the Apollo iOS app interface. If you swipe the comment right depending on how far you swipe it it’ll up or down vote.

    Been trying out Lemmy and have been looking for a good Apolo Alternative. I joined on lemmy.world, but pretty much any 3rd party app will just return “Record not found” or “User Not Found” or “Something went wrong”
    Would this be due to lemmy.world’s update to 1.18? or have I done something wrong?

    This is astoundingly good. Like, I didn’t know webapps could be this nice. It’s kind of amazing.

    Just installed it to my Home Screen. Acts just like an app. I’m new to these web app type things and spaced instances, but baby steps.

    This already seems a lot better than Reddit.

    I’ve been using Memmy as it is an actual app and not a web app, and it has a theme actually designed by Christian Selig, the developer of Apollo. Plus it allows logging in to any Lemmy instance and not just the most popular ones.
