Hi there! So there's been a ton of work by a bunch of developers that are really frustrated with Apollo going away end of month.

That's why I created (yet another) Apollo-like Lemmy client called wefwef - https://wefwef.app.

Right now it's targetting iOS - you can still use it on Android phones, but it's untested. An Android theme is in the works!

So, why wefwef?

  • Progressive web app — It's easy to try, and works cross platform. Get the same experience on your phone, tablet and computer. If you like it, add to home screen for a like-native experience.
  • Open source! Self hosting and hacking is totally doable

There's a TON of work to be done, but the basics are there (browsing, commenting and voting). More to come soon! Let me know what you think.

Wow! So far the best client I’ve tried for iOS, and also the best PWA I’ve ever used! Congrats :)

This app looks lit, it almost feel illegal to have Apollo like experience on Android LMAO.

Hey, out of curiosity, how do you host the official instance? Is it just running on a VPS or some other static site host?

I ask because I'm the dev of another alternate web UI (but for desktop) called Alexandrite, and I'm hoping to refactor and move Lemmy API calls from the server to the client in the near future to avoid scaling issues with rate limits and I'm just exploring my options for hosting if I were to not have a hard dependency on SSR.
