I agree, I would likely use it if it was an actual app, sadly due to restrictions web apps have on my device I can't use it xD

~~Wish I could use it without needing VPN. I'm in Finland.~~
Edit: it's working for me now. It's strange because at the same time it wasn't working from my home and mobile connections it was working fine via airvpn in US.
I’m using it without vpn from Finland. Why would you need vpn?
It's strange. Yesterday I was consistently getting connection refused from the site. There are some instances which are blocking the EU as far as I can tell (gdpr fear maybe?) and I thought this was more of the same. Thanks for the information!
I can’t believe how well it runs on iPhone, way smoother than the Mlem TestFlight app. I think this wasn’t an option for Reddit 3pa because once you try to monetize, if it’s not on the App Store you’re getting steamrolled. Anyways since that doesn’t seem to be an issue here it seems like a great solution.
Would be interested to hear from the devs how they plan to expand in the future.
Try out Memmy it works really well too
Is it safe to use a web app without it having to go through apple security?
Yes because web apps are sandboxed by Webkit/Safari engine. It is more restrictive than the normal app sandbox.
I still have it installed on my phone but have found it to be quite laggy when scrolling content so i don't use it much. I keep checking every so often in hopes that clears up though..
My experience with this is that it seems to be instance-based. I’m a member of both lemmy.world and lemm.ee, and I sing lemmy.world, wefwef was very laggy. I read here that lemm.ee had received some speed-related infrastructure updates, so I decided to test it out. It’s honestly like night and day. Everything loads quickly, and I’m able to comment and upvote where I couldn’t before!
That's because you're on lemmy.world
That instance has been brutally slow recently. I switched and it's so much better

It’s open source.
An app fork will come with time as some things can’t be done in a web app.
Right now Lemmy is changing too quickly for it to be worth it anyway.
So just enjoy this fantastic web app for now.
Mixed experience so far. Love the interface but for some reason the content fails to load at time even though it works on browser or Mlem. Case in point, this comment was made in Mlem because the community failed to load in wefwef. Hopefully this gets fixed.
Not a dev but wonder if this is just due to scaling?Ton of new users just came in, including me...we probably fucking shit up at the moment haha.
That would be my guess. It’s likely these apps are getting rate limited by the lemmy instances. So the more people that use wefwef, the more unstable itll become lol
