I’ve seen the app Apollo as the center of the reddit protest (it was mentioned and cited more than any other app in relevant posts). I’ve also seen many Lemmy clients in development taking inspiration from it.
As a lifetime Android user I’ve never been able to use it, and I’ve never gotten a proper answer to “why not just use the official app?” What made it different from the official application and other unofficial clients that consequently made it so popular among Redditors?
Good news. You can instal Wefwef and get the Apollo experience on android now. Give it a try and see how awesome it’s been for us iOS users
I can’t seem to find wefwef in the play store.~~ Is it there or does one need to side load it.~~
I’m dumb. You gotta go to the GitHub and go to the app in the web and “install” it.
It’s a PWA: https://wefwef.app
Ah thanks. Took me a moment to realize that.
Using wefwef on lemmy.world currently does not work, ruud says he broke something. It just gives a problem fetching posts error for me.
I think they were upgrading Lemmy world today, so it was offline for a few hours
Not sure, wefwef works again now. Typing this on wefwef.
You might want to try it again. A lot of Reddit alternatives have been struggling to keep up with the influx of new users.
You may also need to verify your email address. I had issues getting logged in when I created my account but I was using Mlem at the time.
With all of that said, I’m using wefwef right now.
Yes it seems to be working well now with my Lemmy.world account, thanks!
Sorry about being vague with the instructions. Yeah it’s a bit of a different experience, and with Lemmy.world being down for a few hours today, I just saw this
