We’re really excited for this release :)

Community quick switcher

You can now easily switch between communities and even search for new ones - all without leaving the feed! Just tap the header of any post feed.

Revamped gallery

The gallery component was given some TLC and is now enabled on the feed! (No needing to tap into a post to zoom an image!) You can even upvote, reply, comment and share from the gallery itself!

If you run Android, the gallery now respects your back button :)

This is just the start of what I personally want the gallery to do, so keep an eye out for more improvements around here!

Enjoy~

    Great work! My only gripe with the app is the fact that it populates my regular chrome history, making it completely full of wefwef. Is there any way to disable that / change that?

      Not a perfect fix, but could just install it from a different browser. I’d personally recommend Brave browser.

    Hey thank you for the quick updates! I noticed an issue on the sorting options where once you picked a sorting option, you can’t picked again since the switcher moves too fast.

    The community switcher is a godsend! Makes browsing much smoother!

    I’m having an issue/not understanding how to use the search feature when looking for new communities. Is there a way to search communities using key words or do I have to enter the exact community and instance? It seems like most of the time I get the “nothing to see here” message.

    This is bloody amazing! Just wanted to share a slight bug I’ve noticed on iOS - when you tap the quick switch header, the keyboard does not show on screen which makes the search unusable. Not sure if it’s just me or if others have the same issue.

    Regardless though, you guys rock and I can’t believe how well done this web app is!

      Thank you 💙

      What’s your device model and version? I’ll take a look tomorrow (later today I guess lol)

        I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro iOS 16.5.1 I am facing the same issue when trying to reply to this message. Keyboard is there but stays off screen at the bottom on the display. Will try to post a screenshot if I can.

    Thanks so much for getting the back button fix out so fast! This was my only major frustration with wefwef.

    Can we have pre-bulit docker image for linux/arm/v8 back please?

    I am hosting it on raspberry pi with 32 bit os.

    Edit: Reinstalled 64-bit raspibian. linux/arm64 is working now.

    Thank you for the community quick switcher! It’s definitely the biggest thing my muscle memory was missing from Apollo.

    I’m not understanding how to use the quick switcher.

    If I’m viewing a post and I tap the header (the area above the post) I don’t get a way to switch to a new community. How is it supposed to work? Btw I’m using wefwef

    It just shrinks the post if I tap the title but it does nothing if I tap above that

    Would be great if you could add accounts for easy switching between them (like jerboa). Also, charge your battery :)
