Wefwef is awesome for Apollo users
Helpful. Thank you!
Nice didn’t know thunder was also on ios
Nicely done! 👏
Mlem has really come along the last few weeks — looks nice now. And definitely more of an Apollo vibe. I checked out of it (and left the TestFlight) once the dev announced it was abandoned but it’s clearly back now.
And I’m back to using it now since Memmy doesn’t support post deletions yet and a Lemmy server hiccup resulted in a double post. Solid app now

I’ve been using Mlem and the latest update seemingly has an Apollo inspiration behind it. I will probably be sticking with it— in fact, it’s now in the place on my home screen where Apollo has sat for 7 years. Really sad to have to do that but Reddit is now effectively dead to me.
Using memmy at the moment. It’s the most advanced app right now. Wefwef is impressive as it resembles Apollo in an web app but at the end I prefer having a native app for daily use.
I have both but Memmy keeps logging me out and giving me all kinds of upvote errors. Wefwef works better and I think have pretty much the same functionality
Def going to DL tonight- does anyone know if it works well on ipad?
Works well enough. Pretty much a wider version of the app (I use my iPad in landscape) so it’s not using the space optimally, but I can’t fault the apps especially since they’re all new and focused on iPhones first.
Liftoff is an amazing app.
Also - your list has the old invite link for Liftoff.
The new update link is: https://testflight.apple.com/join/jKENkGjX (as seen in this post from 3 days ago) (respectfully)

Yeah overall Liftoff is still the best IMO. It brings a few fresh design choices and rounded functionality and reliability. It has been improving rapidly. It’s not perfect but it’s at the head of the pack. Wefwef is extremely good for a web app but that ultimately has limitations.
Thank you! Link is updated
I’ve been pretty happy with Memmy so far.
A lot of these logos for lemmy apps should steer clear of animal based logos imho, feel like it won’t be as compatible with mainstream.
I personally use Lemma. Great app, still in TestFlight but very promising
I’d love to try wefwef but it seems to only support 3 different Lemmy instances. I’d like to use it with my own instance.
A quick call out since it sounds like you’re hosting your own instance - you can also choose to host a private version of Wefwef for yourself. Their GitHub has instructions around that, and it may improve performance for you as well.
What an intriguing idea! I’ll definitely look into this, thanks for pointing this out!
You can, just hit the profile button at the bottom, hit “login” in the top right, then select “other”
Yes, awesome, thank you! Writing this using wefwef 😃
You can use it with your own instance. There’s an “other” option in the latest release that lets you plug in the URL.
I’m pretty sure there always has been
That would make sense. I’ve only just started using it, so I figured I’d qualify that if they had tried it before and not seen it.
Indeed, thanks a lot! It worked. Writing this using wefwef 😊
The mlem community link is same as liftoff
My bad! Copy pasting error. Should be fixed now.
