6+ year Apollo user here and I tried a bunch of apps prior to this one that just didn’t quite have the UI and features I was looking for. If you used Apollo, you’ll feel 100% at home on WefWef; it’s almost identical.
Weird name but it’s really an amazing app, it was the final thing to click and made lemmy a full Reddit replacement for me.
Hard agree. Just got it downloaded and it’s fantastic!
Thank you! I'm on Jerboa right now but will try Wefwef to compare. Now to just get used to this whole "instance" thing
Yeah... What's that about? I can't get logged in on the Jerboa app because of it
Not entirely sure, and I've since committed to Wefwef over Jerboa because it's more user friendly. What I did to overcome the login issue on Jerboa was to go to lemmy.world and register my username and login on that instance. After I was registered there, Jerboa picked up my login and I could comment and interact.
I nearly cried when I saw the interface. I love the Squabbles community, but wefwef will make me a Lemmy user
Apollo just died, deleted app and now I’m here. Goodbye Reddit
This is astoundingly good. Like, I didn't know webapps could be this nice. It's kind of amazing.
Yeah I was pretty solidly in the kbin camp until I finally lost Apollo. Wefwef really scratches that itch though.
Was pleasantly surprised as well it felt like home tbh
Just saved this to my home screen, am I right in saying that it's just a webapp and not a full blown app? Seems to work fine so far!
It's a progressive web app, which means when installed it has some extra powers that other web apps don't (like more access to device APIs, offline support, etc.) It was actually what all iPhone apps were meant to be before Apple gave up and made the app store.
Sadly iOS's PWA support has fallen a bit by the wayside compared to PWAs in Android but it's picking up.
It’s what’s known as a “progressive web app.” A weird in-between of a native app and a web app
Seems to work well so far, not sure I like clicking on a comment collapses it, would like the upvote/downvote/reply options underneath the comment but it's early days and nothing that won't be ironed out over time
It's a copy of the Apollo iOS app interface. If you swipe the comment right depending on how far you swipe it it'll up or down vote.
I like Memmy, but Wefwef is great too!
EDIT: This is now resolved, because @[email protected] is awesome.
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.
Contrast this interaction with the spaz/Christian public dust-ups, and let’s all feel fortunate to be here. Thanks to both of you devs for making cool stuff.
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 😄

It's a web app, it updates automatically behind the scenes
Very Apollo like. Lightweight. As mentioned in above comment, I am also wondering about the username and password but I am not a code reader so I will trust the community to confirm.
So when I login to an instance, am I sending my credentials through the wefwef.app server? Because that makes me nervous.
No you’re not. You can view the source code, it’s open source.
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?
I have been having the same issue
I may have found a solution. i was logging in with my email and I should have been using my username.
Edit title: Best Lemmy app*
I've been using Memmy as it is an actual app and not a web app, and it has a theme actually designed by Christian Selig, the developer of Apollo. Plus it allows logging in to any Lemmy instance and not just the most popular ones.
omg it's Apollo! (without keyboard shortcuts)
Wow, now this is a reddit replacement! I love it. Thanks for the recommendation!
It feels as if it copied the UI of Apollo but lacks the UX polish
Swipe a little to the right to vote up.
Swipe a lot to the right to vote down.
Swipe to the left to delete.
On comments, swipe a lot to the left to reply!
Great app, thank you for this !
Just installed it to my Home Screen. Acts just like an app. I’m new to these web app type things and spaced instances, but baby steps.
This already seems a lot better than Reddit.
I agree with all the things you said. Including changing this weird name.
Man, this is instantly better. Just wish the text editor had better support for markdown
I agree, I just wish it ran smoother and was more reliable. I'm experiencing a lot of "failed to load", "failed to upvote", and "failed to comment". A community you can't engage with is no community at all.
Yes. I can't use it since I got on the first time. I'm figuring it is volume and come back later.
How do I save an image from a post to my phone?
The app is still adding dozens of features EVERY DAY. Take it easy on the dev, but if you are code literate, unlike me, you can lend a hand you can on the project's GitHub page. Or you can request the feature on the community page I linked in the post above. But I can guarantee you that this is a highly requested feature.
definitely would use it if it wasn't a web app. still amazingly good for a web app though!
Well crap…. Got to my Apollo too late. (For the export)
You can change your phone’s date and time, the setting should appear again.
