Memmy is winning so far for me.
Same. Pace of development is impressive. 6 updates in the last 24 hours! And they’re noticeable improvements.
Same here of the few I’ve tried. Mlem is cool too.
Crazy to see how quickly a handful of talented developers have managed to build several feature-rich Lemmy apps in such a short amount of time. Really drives home the point that the reddit's official app—with it's 80 person dev team—must just suck on purpose.
It’s not really the devs that are to blame, but the management team.
I’m on wefwef as an Apollo replacement. Enjoying it!
They even now have a part where you can export your Apollo JSON data to look for subreddits like the ones you followed. I unsubscribed from all my subreddits, but good for others.
I stumbled upon Wefwef by accident right after setting up an account here and really like it.
Straight forward, easy to use and similar in appearance to Apollo and the older Reddit client.
Exactly what happened to me. I haven’t even tried anything else because I don’t feel like there’s a need.
It performs better than most native apps. These developers are rockstars.
Also is a great way to browse on the desktop. I have it open on the sidebar for Edge most of the day at work and do the same on SigmaOS while at home
Im testing out Wefwef, Calipso, and Pulse. So far wefwef is the best and looks pretty similar to Apollo
Me too! And for squabbles I’m using their site and Pulse, Calisto just doesn’t appeal to me for now.
I really like the look and functionality of wefwef. My only complaint is all the animations are low fps since it runs in browser. Same thing happens even when I “install” it.

Rexxit. Love it!

Different priorities. One focuses on delivering more ads and monetizable features, while the others focus on making users happy enough to spend money on subscriptions.
I don't see the point of squabbles. It's just going to turn into reddit if it catches on. The fediverse at least has decentralization built in and is more flexible if someone becomes a jerk.
There are people that prefers a more straightforward reddit alternative, and Squabbles has been the most promising candidate so far. Not all wants to learn how all these fediverse stuff works.
Personally, I prefer Lemmy than Squabbles but it doesn’t hurt to contribute to more than 1 alternative to that shithole of a site.
yeah even their privacy policy already references an eventual buyout/acquisition so it's all gonna come down to profit driven motives eventually
A+ folder name
Personally, I'm waitin for the Lemmy version of Sync to come out, but good luck in your search
Nice. What is the Lemmy app?
That’s a webapp (just save lemmy page to your homescreen)
Aarrgghh. Got it. I thought I was missing an app for a moment!
Memmy is my go to at the moment. However all are showing a real rate of development and advancement that the developers amaze me.
It’s fun here. Long may it continue.
Heh, that folder name gave me a good chuckle.
Memmy feels great to use so far. Their speed of development is amazing.
Memmy and Mlem are my current favs. Memmy’s development has been insane.
Thanks to this thread, I discovered wefwef. It’s amazing what people can create in such a short amount of time! I legit feel like I’m using Apollo again.
Any Lemmy apps that remember your comment sort option? I vastly prefer "Top" to "Hot", but neither Jerboa nor Wefwef seem to have a way to change the default.
As of like a day ago, Memmy lets you change the sort order for comments. There’s no way to set the default yet, but I’m sure that will come at some point.
I have no idea who thought "Hot" was a good default sort for comments anyway. The sane default is obviously Top.
You haven't tested Thunder! That's what I'm currently trying this hour haha
Link please!
Will give it a try! Thanks for the recommendation
Are calipso and pulse also for lemmy?
No, they’re Squabbles apps.
Rexxit 😂😂😂
This reminds me of when Google’s rss aggregator (google reader?) went down. It spurred a wealth of new development in that field that was great for users. The whole Reddit debacle is having a similar effect and I am loving it!
For me, at the moment, It's wefwef. Mlem, thunder and liftoff! Are also good, but wefwef works for me the Best.
Mine looks similar, though I haven’t got any squabbles. Gotta try a bunch and see what sticks! Two favourite apps at the moment are Memmy and Liftoff
I tried it and it seems great for a web app. I still prefer a native option.
How come when I search for these in the App Store nothing comes up? Are they early access only?
Everything with a yellow dot to the left of the name is a beta. You’ll need to use TestFlight to access them.
Get TestFlight from the App Store
How do you set that wefwef app icon?
Delete and reinstall.
Perfect thank you
What is your favourite? I’m on wefwef because it’s similar to Apollo and is the only one I’ve tried haha.
I’m currently really enjoying Memmy and wefwef as well
For me it’s wef wef, Memmy is just a bit confusing to me, I’m not a poster and that’s something to consider. For squabble I use their site and Pulse is really nice to use, I’m trying Calipso too but just I find myself opening Pulse for better viewing.
How can I get memmy app on iOS?
wefwef FTW
Rexxit is a great name for what’s happened.
How did you get the actual lemmy.world app? I’m using liftoff for limmy.world, unless I’m doing something wrong and I’m sure I am. Lol
I’ve tried mlem, memmy and wefwef so far, I like wefwef for its similarities to Apollo
None of these are in my app store. None of the test flight apps request links have worked.
Make sure you have Test Flight installed first
It is installed, but developers either aren’t sending out test codes or have no way to request one. I’m on wefwef thanks the comments to a separate post I made about this.
It’s installed, but requires a code. One that I have tried to get to no avail.

wefwef.app is a PWA (progressive web app). Just save the site to your Home Screen and it’ll act like an app but be run by your default browser
I’m using Mlem right now and liking it. I’ll check out the others. After all, it took me a while to find BaconReader for Reddit (rest in peace).
I also have like 6 installed. It’s helpful right now because posting and commenting frequently hangs forever on submit. The only way you can know your comment got posted is to switch to another app and check!
Different App icon for Memmy for me. Is there a newer version?
