Why YSK: looks very similar and functions like Apollo, if you’re used to Apollo that’s a great app for you, even if you do not, it’s still one of the best apps for lemmy You can install the web app here: wefwef.app/settings/install or just use it on your browser here wefwef.app
I can’t get it to work with Kbin. It only has a list of Lemmy instances and it doesn’t recognise Kbin.
I don’t think there are any apps that support both Lemmy and Kbin currently. Artemis says they’ll eventually do both but not sure it’s usable now.
Last I checked Kbin didn’t have an API which is why you see fewer apps for Kbin I guess. Those that work do so by scraping the web pages. Maybe that’s changed in the meantime.
I’m able to use with my account that’s not from one of the instances listed (still lemmy though).
Hello there, and welcome to our community! I hope you like it in here.
Could you please include some body text as to why should people know this, and how would that help them? It’s our second rule. Thank you :)
Looks similar to Apollo
What more do you think I need to include?
anyway, will edit
Yeah there are a growing number of options. Hell, lemmy itself is now a web app. I’m using Memmy myself.
I’m all for it!

I can’t settle on one yet. I alternate between Wefwef and Memmy. Both are very good at bringing the Apollo vibes!
Me too, yesterday I was telling people wefwef is best, but today I’m all loving memmy and can’t decide. Spoiled for choice! Really impressed with these devs
It’s so awesome what they’ve accomplished! Very grateful for that!
Memmy’s TestFlight has been full every time I check. Looking forward to trying.
Fwiw it literally just went into in review by Apple so it might be on the store in an hour or so here.
It’s in the store right now!
Replying from it right now! Thanks.
It’s now available on the app store :)
That’s a bummer. Hope you can get in soon. It is very similar to Wefwef, as they’re both going for Apollo, so you basically have the gist of it. They both have been getting frequent updates, so I flip flop on which I prefer. It’s been Wefwef until today, but right now, I think Memmy is slightly edging it out.
Memmy gang
Just now I found out that I can’t scroll to top by tapping the top bar of my phone on wefwef (PWA)
It’s a known issue. You need to tap on the post icon in the bottom tsk bar.
On Android, I was not able to install it using Firefox (Button was there, but clicking it did nothing), but was using Google Chrome.
I had the same problem, now it works tho. The Firefox one doesn’t have an icon, idk why::
Unfortunately for me I keep getting “problem fetching more posts” on ios. Works great on my desktop, though.
You might need to update the app, as silly as that sounds for a browser based app… In the settings there is a “Check for updates” option.

Everything is on someone else’s server, unless you are actively committing crime I’m quite sure not a soul gives a shit about your traffic
It’s still increased attack surface, also you don’t need to be notorious for bad actors to want to steal your info or identity
From your language I assume you are just starting out with security, and it’s common to arm up right away and be very cautious. Remember that social engineering is by far the most exploited and successful method, and even if bots are attacking your home network, they’re automated and will move on. Simply don’t run services at home that are public or exploitable, and if you do use tools like fail2ban. You can self host a vpn or proxy on a cloud instance if you really want to maintain your privacy, but then quantum computers exist now and they can decrypt everything you do on the internet in moments.
It’s definitely currently the best app out there. However as an android user, the design paradigm feels very alien to me which makes me really miss Sync.
I’m curious what feels different to you? I came from Sync to Wefwef and it’s been a smooth transition for me. It reminds me of how the sync layout used to be which I never updated from when he switched versions so that may be it.
Swiping a post away to return to the feed view was huge for me. I also changed the font size, adapted the comment swipe behavior to my liking, disabled various buttons and enabled others. All features that make it feel different for me.
But I was more talking about the general look and feel of the app which perfectly fits iOS, but not Android. Android usually has a burger menu that opens a sidebar on the left which contains the settings while iOS apps tend to have it in the bottom bar. The login is also mostly in there which is also different from iOS. Things like that.
I agree with the Android thing, I have Android as well but maybe I’m less conflicted because I used to have Apollo on iOS before? 🤷🏻 IDK but this app looks fine to my eye and I can stand the lack of Monet/Material You for it…
I’m used to Sync too, they’re planning to launch a new version for Lemmy so we will have to wait
I’m currently using an app called thunder which has been great so far. Supports material you theming as well.
Damn, our bean downvoting boys keep getting exposed.
Probably the best app out there for now. But it feels like I am using an apple app on an android phone
This. It’s still the best app for now, but I hate the iOs feeling. I’m waiting for Sync or Boost so much.
is it on FDroid?
Point your browder to Wefwef.app and ‘install’ locally
As a note though, wefwef is FOSS. It’s GitHub page is linked in the web app and there are instructions to host a version of it yourself, if you so desire.
And, with a few minor appearance setting adjustments, feels very similar to RIF.

I am astounded by how good wefwef is. Without question the best web app I’ve ever seen
Too good for a web app
I’ve been trying to help out with the app’s development and has been in a few conversations with the lead dev. Top notch dude! Has a really good vision for the app and is very good in handling all the community discussion.
Been loving wefwef, but how do I add more instances to the app? I’ve been trying to add libreddit but it’s not available.
Bottom center, click that icon. Then top left select Accounts. Click edit then the plus sign to enter a new instance. I have 3 in mine.
I’ve added kbin and lemmy, along with an instance some redditors from my country created, is it limited to 3 instances?
Wefwef has saved me from going back to Reddit.
All hail wefwef, the good boy of apps!
