    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.

      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.

    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.

      Also is a great way to browse on the desktop. I have it open on the sidebar for Edge most of the day at work and do the same on SigmaOS while at home

    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

    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.

    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.

      Different priorities. One focuses on delivering more ads and monetizable features, while the others focus on making users happy enough to spend money on subscriptions.

          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

              How does the update function work?

              I open the web app from my Home Screen, see a notification for an update in settings. Tap update. Takes me back to main page with notification gone.

              What exactly is it updating if it’s a web app?

          It’s still only a web app, not a native application so performance won’t be ideal. It has been shockingly solid so far though, I’ve barely had any stuttering

    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.

    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

    Heh, that folder name gave me a good chuckle.

    Memmy feels great to use so far. Their speed of development is amazing.

      Me too! And for squabbles I’m using their site and Pulse, Calisto just doesn’t appeal to me for now.

      I really like the look and functionality of wefwef. My only complaint is all the animations are low fps since it runs in browser. Same thing happens even when I “install” it.

        That might be a browser thing. I’m using it on an iPad Pro right now and the animations are full 120fps. The dev did an amazing job at making it feel like a native app.

          I’m using a 13 pro max on iOS 17 beta. I know WebKit is limited to 60fps at least on iPhone. Maybe that limitation isn’t there on iPadOS and that’s why? Otherwise I am just gonna blame iOS 17 lol
