Wefwef for Lemmy feels exactly like Apollo. (wefwef.app)

I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.

It’s good. It’s really really good.

I don't have iOS to compare it to Apollo, but WefWef is - so far - the best way I've come across to browse Lemmy. I've installed it on my Android phone, and it handled logging in and presenting a home screen with the communities I'm subscribed to better than the Jerboa, which was very flaky about logging in, and only wants to show me the communities that the instance I signed up to happens to have.

WefWef didn't show any posts before I logged in, and it's not super intuitive about how to do so, and once I'd figured out that I need to press the middle icon, it turns out I'd made life a bit harder for myself by signing up with a less popular instance ("don't overthink it" they said!).

Anyway, I'm also using WefWef from my PC - the feed is a bit narrow obviously, but it's worth mentioning that the app works well from Windows too.
