Crazy to see how quickly a handful of talented developers have managed to build several feature-rich Lemmy apps in such a short amount of time. Really drives home the point that the reddit's official app—with it's 80 person dev team—must just suck on purpose.
It’s not really the devs that are to blame, but the management team.
I’m on wefwef as an Apollo replacement. Enjoying it!
They even now have a part where you can export your Apollo JSON data to look for subreddits like the ones you followed. I unsubscribed from all my subreddits, but good for others.
Yeah, wish I had seen that prior to nuking my Reddit account and Apollo install from orbit. Oh well, get to just rediscover everything organically now
Apollo locked everyone out after the API changes anyway so there was no way to export as of yesterday.
Memmy is winning so far for me.
Try WefWef. Really impressive for a lightweight webapp. It behaves like. Real app once installed on your home page.
I really like wefwef visually, but the scrolling on the homepage is a bit too buggy tbh.
Not sure if it WefWef or the fact that the Lemmy server are under heavy load while being updated to beta versions an in a day.
Ever since I started using wefwef, about 3 days ago, it has had that issue—the other 4 clients I’ve tried haven’t.
Fwiw, I ain’t trying to throw shade at wefwef, it’s just something I’ve been a bit displeased to experience by using the app.
Same. Pace of development is impressive. 6 updates in the last 24 hours! And they’re noticeable improvements.
Same here of the few I’ve tried. Mlem is cool too.
I stumbled upon Wefwef by accident right after setting up an account here and really like it.
Straight forward, easy to use and similar in appearance to Apollo and the older Reddit client.
Exactly what happened to me. I haven’t even tried anything else because I don’t feel like there’s a need.
It performs better than most native apps. These developers are rockstars.
Rexxit. Love it!
I don't see the point of squabbles. It's just going to turn into reddit if it catches on. The fediverse at least has decentralization built in and is more flexible if someone becomes a jerk.
There are people that prefers a more straightforward reddit alternative, and Squabbles has been the most promising candidate so far. Not all wants to learn how all these fediverse stuff works.
Personally, I prefer Lemmy than Squabbles but it doesn’t hurt to contribute to more than 1 alternative to that shithole of a site.
yeah even their privacy policy already references an eventual buyout/acquisition so it's all gonna come down to profit driven motives eventually
Thanks to this thread, I discovered wefwef. It’s amazing what people can create in such a short amount of time! I legit feel like I’m using Apollo again.
A+ folder name
Personally, I'm waitin for the Lemmy version of Sync to come out, but good luck in your search
Any Lemmy apps that remember your comment sort option? I vastly prefer "Top" to "Hot", but neither Jerboa nor Wefwef seem to have a way to change the default.
As of like a day ago, Memmy lets you change the sort order for comments. There’s no way to set the default yet, but I’m sure that will come at some point.
I have no idea who thought "Hot" was a good default sort for comments anyway. The sane default is obviously Top.
Which is the best one in your opinion?
Not OP, but currently using WefWef, and imo it feels the best!
It’s like Apollo right? But I feel that sometimes it stutters. Or maybe just just lemmy
I’m on wefwef and yeah it stutters a bit but I it feels similar to early Reddit instability vibes, it’s not annoying me much
The creator has also updated it constantly the last few days and it has gotten much better so far
I am using liftoff and loving it so far .
Currently trying LiftOff via testflight and it’s not bad… given the state of development. I must say I do also enjoy this “dev” state after Rexxit. Thanks for the screenshot. Looks like I have some other apps to try as well.

Mine looks similar, though I haven’t got any squabbles. Gotta try a bunch and see what sticks! Two favourite apps at the moment are Memmy and Liftoff
Im testing out Wefwef, Calipso, and Pulse. So far wefwef is the best and looks pretty similar to Apollo
Me too! And for squabbles I’m using their site and Pulse, Calisto just doesn’t appeal to me for now.
wefwef FTW
Are calipso and pulse also for lemmy?
No, they’re Squabbles apps.
Heh, that folder name gave me a good chuckle.
Memmy feels great to use so far. Their speed of development is amazing.
Rexxit 😂😂😂
How did you get the actual lemmy.world app? I’m using liftoff for limmy.world, unless I’m doing something wrong and I’m sure I am. Lol
