I’m currently using Memmy and it’s giving me Apollo vibes but I’m open to testing out other apps ^^

wefwef and Liftoff until Sync arrives.
I keep switching apps all the time. Right now, I’m trying out Wefwef vs Thunder. They are very similar and I really like both. However, I think I slightly prefer Thunder. It feels a little bit more fluent to me, as it is a native app and it comes with a few more options, like being able to put the thumbnail on the right. I really like that because now I can open pictures without opening the comments. It also does a few things a little bit more sensible in my opinion, esspecially the back button. For instance, in Thunder the back button does what I expect it to do. But in Wefwef It is a bit buggy as it often goes back on the background, without closing a full screen image first. The theming also feels a but more at home on Android, while still being very similar.
Both are great options though and both have it’s pro’s and cons. I’m also trying out Pulse for Squabbles (so not Lemmy), which is also very neat and very similar. Makes the experiences a bit more consistent.
I’m also waiting for both Sync and Boost. I’m really curious in how both of those Ferdiverse versions turn out.
This is the way.
Wefwef right now. I have been pretty pleased with it. Not sure who the the developer it but damn they’ve been rolling out updates daily. Sometimes multiple times a day. I don’t think the person is sleeping at this point.
It’s open source and there’s a ton of open PRs. Lots of people want Apollo back.
Using wefwef.app (it’s a web app) and it’s great. Sometimes I need remind myself that I’m not using Apollo.
Not gonna lie, I don’t know what kind of dark magic wefwef pulled through, but it is the first web app I actually find as performant a a native app. It may not be for me (not a big fan of iphone aesthetics), but it is wonderful.
Have to agree with this guy.
I recently swapped from IPhone to Android and thought I’d lost the slickness of Apollo forever.
Then Wefwef came along. It’s nowhere near as smooth as the original Apollo app (at least via Android’s Firefox browser), but it’s got all the same vibes and makes me feel like I’m back in that same experience again.
Not a fan of wefwef personally because it floods my mobile browser history.
Even when it is installed as a separate app?
It shouldn’t if you install it as a separate app.
Jerboa
Same. I was using liftoff for a bit while they worked out the kinks during the 0.18 upgrade, but its been great, feels really intuitive to me.
Im coming from reddit via RiF, and I feel like Jerboa checks a lot of the same boxes for me.
Yeah Jerboa was rough for a bit there but it’s been working really well for the past few days.
Same! Loving it so far.
I have a lot but I use none. I mainly use the web version, also on mobile.
Is this because most admin/mod features don’t exist in the apps yet?
That’s been my reason for switching to desktop now and again.
Same, everyone here chasing after the perfect app, but I find the mobile web interface to be pretty damn incredible.
Heh, you didn’t witness the old web UI that used sockets. It was nigh unusable on popular servers.
I definitely did witness that myself, but that only happened when browsing All for me. Thank God that bug was fixed in 0.18.
Well, it makes sense; most of the new Lemmy crowd hopped on after the Reddit 3PA disaster.
I am currently using Jerboa.
Started with it, tried every other app, came back to Jerboa.
Liftoff is another app that is very functional. But I don’t like the design and don’t size of the comment section can’t be changed for now.

https://wefwef.app on iOS.
It’s nearly EXACTLY like Apollo. Installed on my Home Screen and put where the Apollo icon was. (Apollo moved to a special folder to commemorate its memory.) You guys, I’ve got to be honest, I didn’t think Lemmy was going to work out for me, but with wefwef, I don’t feel like I’m missing a beat. Looking forward to Lemmy and the fediverse continuing to grow!
Placing the Jerboa icon where I used to have the Boost was so nice. I’m still waiting to see when kbin gets an app. The mobile experience is rough.
I see a lot of kbin posts on here. I think I’m good.
Jerboa has been wonderful lately.
It could use some UI/UX work though. For example, if I want to go to a comment I replied to from my profile, rif had a handy button to show my comment with context. On Jerboa I need to go to my comment with a couple unintuitive taps, then the context of that comment with another button that doesn’t really feel like it’s in the right place.
I’ll give it time to develop though
Memmy, Mlem, wefwef are all inspired by Apollo. All are good. Liftoff! is another one I am testing, not crazy about the design but it’s still decent.
None have been published to the App Store yet, right? All just in test flight I believe. Just trying to confirm that because I can’t find them the normal way.
Memmy is now in the App Store but you’re probably better off signing up through test flight so you can get the almost daily updates.
Wefwef is a web app. Goto wefwef.app and add to homescreen.
Wefwef is a web app, the others are in TestFlight. Although I read Memmy was getting close to App Store release.
Wefwef. It’s incredibly polished and fast, especially for a webapp. It runs circles around new reddit performance wise, even with the servers being a raspi trampled by a horde of reddit refugees
wefwef.app
I have Memmy, Liftoff, Mlem and wefwef. Like the interfaces of Mlem and wefwef the best so far. One app doesn’t have it all yet and if there’s a hang up with one I can try another!
I’m giving wefwef a go since there seems to be more notification options, messages and such available than that of memmy
I’m using Liftoff right now. It’s got great features, and it’s very stable.
I think it’s okay to keep discussing this because the app situation is very much in flux at the moment. I’m on Jerboa because it’s the best native app I’ve found that plays nice with a folding phone and Samsung DeX. My requirements are simple, but they are niche. I’m keeping an eye on a few other apps though because while Jerboa is great as it is there are improvements to be found.
Liftoff.
