if you want to post links or discuss Reddit over the next while, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy, thanks! (a more formal body may be forthcoming, but that’ll come in the morning if so)

    First post! I just want to drop a hint to anyone else coming from Apollo — I just installed wefwef.app and, despite the weird name, it is insanely close to an exact replica. I’m honestly surprised a PWA can work this well.

    Also,

      I’m using wefwef now, coming off of using Reddit Sync, and it’s delightfully intuitive. I’m super bummed about reddit imploding, but hey, at least we have a new place.

      It’s like how every time there’s a group chat, it spontaneously spawns a new, smaller group chat “without the annoying people”.

      Where does one find wefwef? A quick search didn’t give me anything obvious, and it’s not on the app store

        Ah, right — try wefwef.app, and be sure to install to your Home Screen to get the full benefits of the PWA capabilities (check the settings tab, or if on iOS, tap the “share” icon in safari and select that option).

        Updated my original comment with the link as well.

      Yes, using this right now and it’s helping me feel like I’m still on Reddit. :)

        That is much more likely to be a problem with your server, not the PWA, simply because it is just a client-side web app. Are you on one of the large servers? I’m hearing they’re struggling to service the influx of users.

        Although, I suppose it could be exacerbated by the app potentially requesting more from your server than the basic lemmy frontend does. Like, it may not paginate comments and instead request all upfront.

        It seems to have this problem on and off. Couldn’t load any comments yesterday, but it seems fine today. I do wish that it wasn’t just a copy of Apollo because I keep expecting Apollo quality as I interact with it. Though it is remarkable for a webapp.

        They just pushed an update that might fix that for you. According to the release notes —

        • Fix API failure causing annoying redirect

        Maybe that was causing your issue…I dk

      Wow no kidding, it is way better than jerboa. I’m not sure why people demand native apps for everything, this PWA is super smooth.
