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

https://lemmy.world/c/wefwef

Courtesy of [email protected] for telling us about it.

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:

w.opnxng.com - wefwef hosted by Opnxng in Singapore.

Note: Community deployments are NOT maintained by the wefwef team. They may not be synced with wefwef's source code. Please do your own research about the host servers before using them.

I’m brand new to Lemmy but this looks great and makes me feel at home already! Thanks for the recommendation

iPhone 14 user here. Anyone else have trouble with the keyboard not coming up for login credentials? I also tried cut and paste function but my details aren’t recognised despite being 100% correct.

I’m so confused. How can it be so rich without being a full blown app? I have been enjoying Memmy, but can’t really find what separates the two.

Absolutely. If it just simplified the sign up by randomly choosing a non controversial instance to register on (vlemmy.net, reddthat.com, lemm.ee etc), it'd already be recommendable to non-lemmy users.

beehaw.org is too controlling, lemmy.world is overloaded and blocked by beehaw, and lemmy.ml is having trouble federating with kbin. I'm sure these will be addressed later and they're all still usable... but yeah

Also, +1 to Voyager, wefwef does not go down well with non-lemmings

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Lemmy is taking me 20 sec just to load my profile. And I am browsing on my desktop. The site is getting SMOTHERED.

Incredible app! Never realized a web app could be so sexy.

It feels so weird iOS interface but a PWA, I’m a fellow Memmy user

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Indeed it's awesome, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

One thing that bugs me, and I found the same with Thunder, is that I cannot sort posts by Top (Day, Week, etc.). Any reason why that is?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is nice! my only suggestion would be the ability to minimize cards for a text feed, if that's something that's eventually possible.

I like how smooth wefwef is, but if I could keep everything from auto-expanding (i.e. just scrolling through titles instead) it'd be closer to the old.reddit / RiF experience 🙂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I know this is an Apple sub, but is there an Android version? Checked the store and didn't see it, but not sure if it has to be sideloaded (which always seems sketchy if it is a legit app).

Bumped into this app yesterday and it’s so user friendly! Can’t wait for more features to be added.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Just stumbled upon this app a couple of hours ago and….. holy shit it’s just like Apollo! Excellent stuff.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So when I login to an instance, am I sending my credentials through the wefwef.app server? Because that makes me nervous.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No you’re not. You can view the source code, it’s open source.

This app is awesome, thanks for sharing! Congrats to the developer

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is there actually an app or is this all web based? I can't figure it out.

Is there a way to hide read posts?

This is an awesome app, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

This is looking good so far, really captures the Apollo feel well. Hoping it continues to develop and/or potentially becomes an iOS app at some point.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Holy shit, THANK YOU!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I like it! I’m still trying to make sense of Lemmy and this app helps a lot. Thank you to everyone involved!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

One suggestion for wefwef is to be able to browse all communities of the particular instance you’re logged in to, or even better, have a page of all instances and the communities they encompass

I use Memmy. I'm really liking it so far. Its not on the app store yet so you have to install it through TestFlight, go to the github on your phone, and then click the invite link. Isn't perfect but great so far

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Wefwef is gorgeous for sure and eerily familiar to ex Apollo users. It does show the red error message a lot though. It even said my user doesn’t exist when I logged in, but somehow I am still logged in. And it only lets me upvote every second click. We’ll see if it lets me post this.

But visually it’s a pretty stellar effort.
