I made a folder with my fav lemmy apps that I tried so far, and they are sorted by favorite to less favorite. By far, wefwef is my most used and I do switch to lifoff sometimes. Also, the official lemmy app is really not bad compared to reddit’s official app. I would say try all of them and see which one works the best for you. waiting for sync and boost to launch. let me know if you have any other suggestions I haven’t tried yet.

Keep seeing people talk about wefwef, but I can’t even find it to download

I see Connect, Jerboa, Lemmotif, and Liftoff

It’s a progressive web app, basically a website that you install to your phone that behaves like a normal app. It’s one of the best PWAs I’ve personally encountered too.

Connect works well for me on Pixel6! I feel they are fixing stuff too because it has less and less quirks every day

Doesn’t work for me. I have Android and I used DuckDuckGo initially but there wasn’t any install option, then I used Firefox and clicked Install from the settings while I was on the homepage and on the settings/install page but neither did anything, they just moved me to the app launcher (my home screen).

Chrome probably works the best for PWAs, maybe try some Chromium alternatives to see if works properly.

It’s because duckduckgo at least historically did not support PWAs.

It’s not an app, it’s a website that resembles an app. Apollo, specifically.

FWIW, Wefwef is a progressive web app, not a native app.
