The app has an amazing experience so far, because it feels like I’m just using Apollo, heaps of baked in features that no other app has so far. It’s a web app so installation is pretty forward. Much love to the Devs!

(Side note: please change the name to something better. I recommend the name Voyager to keep up with the theme)

Installation:

https://wefwef.app/settings/install

WefWef’s community page: c/wefwef

Courtesy of KillaBeez@lemmy.world for telling us about it.

Update:

Having issues? It’s to do with rate limitations, this should be resolved soon but right now you can Use:

https://w.opnxng.com/settings/install

Here’s the Dev’s notes on that:

w.opnxng.com - wefwef hosted by Opnxng in Singapore.

It’s pretty good, but lacking at least one very fundamental possibility:

You cannot comment on another comment with wefwef You cannot downvote a comment

You need to swipe to comment on a comment apparently.

But how do you delete a comment?

Swiping right a little will downvote, swiping right more will upvote. Swiping left a little will hide a comment, swiping left more will reply to a comment.

Not the most intuitive tbh, but I’m getting used to it.

It uses swipe gestures. Swipe to the left to reply (you have to go far left, there’s two levels of swipe. Level 1 is collapse, level 2 is reply.

For downvote you just swipe right to level 2

Been trying out Lemmy and have been looking for a good Apolo Alternative. I joined on lemmy.world, but pretty much any 3rd party app will just return “Record not found” or “User Not Found” or “Something went wrong”
Would this be due to lemmy.world’s update to 1.18? or have I done something wrong?

Lemmy is taking me 20 sec just to load my profile. And I am browsing on my desktop. The site is getting SMOTHERED.

If you’re loving wefwef because of it’s Apollo likeness, then you need to checkout Memmy

It actually introduces all the features Apollo had with native haptics, slide interactions and navigations, push notifications, and more. The developers have been working hard and pushing releases daily (sometimes multiple per day).

As an Apollo users for the last 6 years, Memmy has been by far the best iOS app for Lemmy that I have tried (which have been Mlem, Thunder, Liftoff (prev. known as Limbo)

Yeah but it doesn’t look as close to Apollo as wefwef. It also doesn’t work as well on iPad, whereas wefwef has just nailed the aesthetic of Apollo right away.

Recent update changed the bottom nav up, but otherwise is pretty similar

Absolutely. If it just simplified the sign up by randomly choosing a non controversial instance to register on (vlemmy.net, reddthat.com, lemm.ee etc), it’d already be recommendable to non-lemmy users.

beehaw.org is too controlling, lemmy.world is overloaded and blocked by beehaw, and lemmy.ml is having trouble federating with kbin. I’m sure these will be addressed later and they’re all still usable… but yeah

Also, +1 to Voyager, wefwef does not go down well with non-lemmings

Is being overloaded a problem? I am on lemmy.world and I appreciate being on a place with more people in it.

It’s having some federation issues; some posts don’t show in other instances, or show up much later than normal

It also hasn’t been able to update to 1.18 like alot of instances already have.
