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

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:

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.
Hard agree. Just got it downloaded and it’s fantastic!
Thank you! I’m on Jerboa right now but will try Wefwef to compare. Now to just get used to this whole “instance” thing
Yeah… What’s that about? I can’t get logged in on the Jerboa app because of it
Not entirely sure, and I’ve since committed to Wefwef over Jerboa because it’s more user friendly. What I did to overcome the login issue on Jerboa was to go to lemmy.world and register my username and login on that instance. After I was registered there, Jerboa picked up my login and I could comment and interact.
I nearly cried when I saw the interface. I love the Squabbles community, but wefwef will make me a Lemmy user
Apollo just died, deleted app and now I’m here. Goodbye Reddit
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.
This is astoundingly good. Like, I didn’t know webapps could be this nice. It’s kind of amazing.
Yeah I was pretty solidly in the kbin camp until I finally lost Apollo. Wefwef really scratches that itch though.
Was pleasantly surprised as well it felt like home tbh
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.
App looks great so far!
Will it have auto marking posts as read just by scrolling past them? No other apps do this yet…it was Apollos best feature!
Also no dark mode?!
Installing it via saving to the iPhones Home Screen……how do we update an app like this? Never done that before 😄

It’s a web app, it updates automatically behind the scenes
I like Memmy, but Wefwef is great too!
I agree with all the things you said. Including changing this weird name.
Great app, thank you for this !
Is there actually an app or is this all web based? I can’t figure it out.
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.

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?I have been having the same issue
I may have found a solution. i was logging in with my email and I should have been using my username.
I have tried it both ways 🤷
That’s unfortunate. Give Mlem a shot and see if it lets you login with your username. My guess is that this server is just getting overloaded.
Possibly. To be honest I’m just waiting for sync really
I agree, I just wish it ran smoother and was more reliable. I’m experiencing a lot of “failed to load”, “failed to upvote”, and “failed to comment”. A community you can’t engage with is no community at all.
Yes. I can’t use it since I got on the first time. I’m figuring it is volume and come back later.
