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.

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.

is there a way to set up “multireddit” feeds like you could with apollo?

Apologies if this is the wrong thread to ask but is there an issue with the app at the moment? Thought it might be my account so I signed out but even as guest I’m getting this error as attached

Wow. This is so neat! Some of you devs are just so damn talented! Definitely going in the rotation with things I suggest to other users, thank you!

It's now my favorite lemmy app. Thanks for your hard work 🙏

Have you considered adding kbin accessibility? That would be great!

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

This is incredible. It feels so cozy being able to browse lemmy in an Apollo-like UI. I didn’t realize how much I missed it.

Why the shitty name? Any chance ya'll can change it when it comes out of alpha?
