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.

Note: Community deployments are NOT maintained by the wefwef team. They may not be synced with wefwef’s source code. Please do your own research about the host servers before using them.
hi! wefwef dev here.
https://wefwef.app is getting rate limited by lemmy.world. The growth in traffic over the last 24 hours has been incredible.
That’s why you’re probably getting error messages. Hang in there, we’re working it out. :-)
In the meantime, self host (it’s just a simple docker container!) or use a community deployment (if you trust the administrator).
hi! lemmyworld admin here.
If I did it right, wefwef.app should no longer be rate-limited. Please let me know if it worked.
App looks great so far!
Will it have auto marking posts as read just by scrolling past them? No other apps do this yet…it was Apollos best feature!
Also no dark mode?!
Installing it via saving to the iPhones Home Screen……how do we update an app like this? Never done that before 😄
Your app is really good. Well done!
Its not only miles better than the default mobile experience on Lemmy, it is also has features like swiping that I have never seen used on a web app before.
Do you have some kind of roadmap of features that will be added?
Some things I think would add to the experience are:
- Previews of comments/posts
- Sorting by Top day, week, month, ect
Just the GitHub issues atm. Thing have kinda exploded over the last 48 hours so still playing catch-up. That being said, feel free to search through and create issues!
What’s the long term plan? Everyone hosts their own instance in Docker? I was thinking about using AWS container instances. I wonder how I would protect my publicly available interface though. I want to be able to access it from anywhere without vpn or firewall limitations. Do you have any good suggestion?
The long term plan is Lemmy to allow CORS * for web clients like Mastodon does, which should completely resolve this problem. :)
It should be in the next version! See: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3109
feels weird having an iOS centric UI on android but I’m loving it so far
On Android as well, this feels better than a lot of native apps. I really missed Apollo after switching to Android and this project makes me happy.
feels better than a lot of native apps
if you installed wefwef from chrome yeah, but if you installed this app from Firefox, you’re going to have a bad time, it was so slow and unresponsive on Firefox for me lol
Yes I have the same experience. And on Kiwi, it can’t detect the OS theme.
I agree with all the things you said. Including changing this weird name.
Whoa. I’ve been using Memmy lately but this one is like a carbon copy of Apollo. Will there be the feature to see saved posts soon?
I like Memmy, but Wefwef is great too!
Memmy is great, and I will probably switch to it once they get some bugs worked out.
Which bugs are you seeing? We’re getting updates sometimes multiple times a day, so they may be fixed already.
