Hi there! So there’s been a ton of work by a bunch of developers that are really frustrated with Apollo going away end of month.

That’s why I created (yet another) Apollo-like Lemmy client called wefwef - https://wefwef.app.

Right now it’s targetting iOS - you can still use it on Android phones, but it’s untested. An Android theme is in the works!

So, why wefwef?

  • Progressive web app — It’s easy to try, and works cross platform. Get the same experience on your phone, tablet and computer. If you like it, add to home screen for a like-native experience.
  • Open source! Self hosting and hacking is totally doable

There’s a TON of work to be done, but the basics are there (browsing, commenting and voting). More to come soon! Let me know what you think.

    Im actually shocked at how well this works! Never expected a Webapp to be this great! Do you plan to make a native app for iOS at some point? I mostly ask because a lot of my favorite features from Apollo (widgets was a big one, FaceID, lockscreen widgets) are afaik only possible through native right? I would love to see stuff like that in the long run here too!

    Regardless, this is really an awesome PWA and I can’t wait to see what you do with it!
