    Highly recommend checking out wefwef - closest option to an Apollo clone as I’ve seen so far in terms of UI and functionality, and doesn’t even need to be installed. Memmy is a very good second place option, but I’ve been using wefwef since I heard about it yesterday and ZI think it’s better.

      I started with Mlem and wasn’t a huge fan and was primarily using Memmy. But I decided to try mlem again as it’s been a while and it looks much better! Might be my new daily driver. I’ll give wefwef a try too.

        Are you using it as an installed PWA? I’m not having any issues with animations or scrolling. I have run into a few weird UI bugs with slide up menus within communities, but that’s about it.

          As the Memmy dev I can also highly recommend wefwef. Great product for such a short lifespan.

              Going outbound or inbound? Outbound the requests are super basic, inbound they are pretty large. There’s a lot of limitations on that.

              For example to get basic user info you have to receive a bunch of other information that you’re not going to bother using. Hopefully in time this will get changed, because there’s no reason to be receiving so much data whenever you really only need a few bytes.

    Apollo is more like the wife who was murdered by Reddit, now watching you from heaven, hoping that you find a new social media platform to make you happy.

    Image Transcription: Meme


    [‘Distracted Boyfriend’ - A stock photo image of a man walking side by side with a woman in a blue shirt, holding hands, as a different woman in a red shirt walks past. The man appears to be whistling at the woman walking past, showing clear interest in her looks, while the woman he is walking with looks at him. The face of the woman next to him is replaced by the app icon for the app “Apollo for Reddit”, while the woman he is looking at has her face replaced by the app icon for “Memmy for Lemmy”]

      I was so happy when I found my normal username was available here on Lemmy. It’s a shallow reason to like the app, but it’s part of what really sold it to me and made me check it out further, and so far, I’m really happy I did.

        I have 6 downloaded so I can try them all. Lmao

        Jerboa
        Connect
        Liftoff
        Lemmur
        Thunder
        Wefwef

        Edit: Connect was my favorite until i realized its absolutely riddled with trackers. RIP. Currently trying Wefwef but ill probably come back to Jerboa.

          Which Reddit client are you coming from? Which Lemmy app are you enjoying the most right now? I’m an Android user coming from RIF. So far I have the most experience with Wefwef and Jerboa, and Wefwef is winning by leaps and bounds. I haven’t tried too much of the rest, but I’m curious of your opinion on them if you’ve tried them all!

                Excited to try Boost when it releases.

                  I saw some post about the trackers but I didn’t really understand what that meant. Can you explain?

      Wefwef is a web app that is a near carbon copy of Apollo. It’s how I’m browsing and it’s great. Much better than the web interface.

      He addressed that a bit ago. That kind of undertaking would be pretty big, since the data structure on the back end is so much different. It’s not out of the question, but not something he wants to do right now.

        Yeah, he definitely deserves some time off after this. But if he were to get around to it at some point he’d have a ton of users
