wefwef is a shameless clone of Apollo. Mimicry is truly the best form of flattery. He copied from one of the best

Wefwef and thunder. Thunder is really fast.

I’ve been using Mlem and the latest update seemingly has an Apollo inspiration behind it. I will probably be sticking with it— in fact, it’s now in the place on my home screen where Apollo has sat for 7 years. Really sad to have to do that but Reddit is now effectively dead to me.

Nicely done! 👏

Def going to DL tonight- does anyone know if it works well on ipad?

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

Works well enough. Pretty much a wider version of the app (I use my iPad in landscape) so it's not using the space optimally, but I can't fault the apps especially since they're all new and focused on iPhones first.

It’s not ios specific but I’m using wefwef and it’s great.

@[email protected], this stickied post could probably use some love, or you might just want to remove the sticky pin. Some of these Apps no longer exist. Example: Memmy.

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

Thanks! I've updated it a little just by quickly going through the communities. Also lifted the link to lemmyapps up so users won't miss it. Let me know if there's anything I've missed!

Thanks Dee!

A lot of these logos for lemmy apps should steer clear of animal based logos imho, feel like it won’t be as compatible with mainstream.

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

Mlem and Liftoff have been solid

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

I've been pretty happy with Memmy so far.

Not able to connect to wefwef today. Says safari cannot establish a secure connection. Not sure if anyone else seeing this. On mobile.

Arctic was released on the AppStore and the TestFlight gets weekly updates and it’s really great.

Memmy, Avelon and Bean seem to have been abandoned.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It almost seems like the only apps (other than purely web-based ones) that are still being developed for iOS are Arctic, Mlem, Thunder, and Voyager.

Edit: And Lemma had a pretty big update recently, too. I should include them as well.

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

Helpful. Thank you!

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

It’s a but disappointing to still not have any app on the AppStore. I know it’s a long process, but we should take advantage from the current momentum, which won’t last.

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

the Memmy dev submitted to Apple for review. should be there “soon”.

Olympus for Lemmy also has a TestFlight beta (works currently only for iOS 17 Dev Beta)

There are some more apps announced (Artemis, Beyond)

You can check it out here in the iOS section

Thank you! I wasn't aware there's already a post for this. I'll add this link to the post.

Wefwef is shockingly usable considering it’s a PWA. Only thing that’s reminding me this isn’t Apollo is the occasional need to tap again before scrolling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I personally use Lemma. Great app, still in TestFlight but very promising
