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

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.
Shit this is the best app so far! Hope they really release an app not just a page.
On Android, chrome has an option to add any page to your home screen which makes it function like an app. That’s what I’m doing.
works with opera the same. the only thing reminding you its a webapp is the browser icon on the devices home screen.
I actually do this with kbin as well, though their “app” interface is nowhere near wefwef quality. Plus I am a Reddit refugee because I was a strong Apollo user, so the interface is like home to me.
It also works on iOS
Yup, I’m using it like this but the performance is obviously subpar, especially compared to apollo
I’m still holding out hope that Christian will adapt Apollo to work with lemmy! But I fear it’s very unlikely
I’m doing the same but with Firefox
Mull user around 😉
I’m doing it with Vivaldi!
Brave here, runs like a dream.
did you click ‘add to homescreen’? you’ll be none the wiser that it’s a web app
I did. But still its not an app… Its a web page disguised as app.
Now that the crashing issue has been fixed, Jerboaall the way.
Yeah there are a growing number of options. Hell, lemmy itself is now a web app. I’m using Memmy myself.
Memmy gang
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!
Memmy’s TestFlight has been full every time I check. Looking forward to trying.
It’s now available on the app store :)
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.
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.
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!
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.
It’s surprisingly effective for what is basically a Web container, although it is worth noting it doesn’t work very well if you try and install it via Firefox.
My biggest issue with it is that it doesn’t run quite as well as a native app, because it basically runs inside of a browser, which might be something to watch out for if you have an older device (and if you have an old iDevice, it doesn’t work at all). It might end up being unusably slow.
What issues do you have running it via firefox? It seems fine for me, although I didn’t try with chrome
Personally, I found it to be very sluggish compared to the inbuilt browser/Chrome, and vulnerable to a weird bug that Firefox seems to have on my device, where the entire browser engine stops working if you multitask/switch between apps, being stuck on a blank black/white screen until you close and restart the app.
I also have this, and I often have to force-kill the entire Firefox app in order to make it come back to life.
I wish Firefox on mobile was overall just “better”
Yeah same for me, firefox install feels sluggish whereas it runs smoother and faster with chrome. Maybe it has to do with how every site is optimized for chromium browsers nowadays.
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.
It must be amazing if it’s taken you all the way down to 9%!
With your phone’s last dying breath an inescapable urge came over you to say something nice about wefwef. Then you stood up and finally flushed the toilet.
And immediately face planted as your legs give in after 75 minutes without circulation.
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::
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?
It looks incongruous with Android’s design, but I still like it. It’s nice to have variety.
Sync for lemmy will be out in a month or so! Sync was easily the best looking Reddit app in excistence for Material You design. I’m sure Sync for lemmy will be the same.
Sync is basically the only non google app I’ve used that actually uses native material 3

I like it. Just wish this grey was a bit darker.
Right now all reviews are private feedback because the app is early access, but once the app doe its first full release version that will change.
Reviews will open once it leaves early access!
Glad you’re enjoying it, so am I!
Just tried liftoff and am loving the UI!
No kbin support.
Kbin doesn’t have an API for apps to work with just yet. You’ll have to wait until they work on theirs before you’ll see any apps.
It’s a lemmy app. Wait for Artemis.
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.
Wefwef has saved me from going back to Reddit.
All hail wefwef, the good boy of apps!
