Same here--wefwef is amazingly solid for such an early product.

If Sync for Lemmy gets off the ground and is anywhere near as good as the Reddit version, I'll probably switch to that since it was easily my most used Android app before Reddit lost its mind.

Does the PWA shortcut auto-updates or to use a new version I have to delete the shortcut and create it again?

[โ€“] Illithium 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, just click the update button under settings.

Wefwef has been easing my Apollo withdrawals.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Saaaaaame. It feels so familiar

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Me too, me too! Iโ€™m beta testing Mlem , lift off and thunder and so far wefwef has an edge. UI is growing in me much quicker than the name has!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I second this!

I'm on wefwef.app now. I tried Jerboa first and then Connect for Lemmy. I liked Connect more than Jerboa but wefwef was most like my Infinity setup.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same for me. Started with Jerboa then went to Connect, then WefWef. I still go back and forth between the last two, but I'm starting to use WefWef more.

[โ€“] IthronMorn 1 points 1 year ago

I strongly prefer wefwef but as an android user I'm forced to the web app version. Also it's not letting me save posts. I don't know if that's a bug in wefwef, the web app version, or if it's lemmy being buggy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Boost for Lemmy is coming - You can register your interest on the Play Store.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Currently Jerboa, but once Boost for Lemmy launches I'll switch to that

Coming from RIF this is my personal ranking:

  1. wefweb.app. Very clean design, works well and smooth experience. Overall the best implementation so far.

  2. Connect/Lift (tied). Both are solid, I prefer connect sidebar and options but I prefer the design of the posts and comments on Lift. When the comments stack in Connect it looks awful IMO.

  3. Jerboa. As a first option it was good but after so many timeouts, other design issues and multiple errors I kinda gave up on the app. After its polished I'll give it another try.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This would be my ranking and assessment as well. The only thing hampering Wefwef, for me right now at least, is that all saving/bookmarking is broken at the moment. I'm sure it'll get fixed, but that's kinda a big deal. Other than that, it's great!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Jerboa. I like what it has going on coming from RIF, comment navigation is pretty good, but it's still very buggy (often fails to refresh though that might be related to my instance more than the app, also could do with more graceful error handling) and missing a few key settings I'd like to see implemented - show instance name next to user/community names, disable left swipe to go back to post list (which I trigger on accident all the time). Hopefully the dev continues to work on it and smooth out some rough edges.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I use connect for lemmy currently but i got jeobra downloaded as well , depending on how performance/feature goes in the next months i will decide what i like more

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Coming from Apollo, I have personally been enjoying wefwef.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm on Android and I'm currently using Connect for Lemmy. Seems good for now. Previously used Jerboa but for some reason I had issues with scrolling and connecting.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Started with wefwef, but it often lags when I try to type a comment or navigate back, so I installed multiple apps for Lemmy until I settled in with Connect, since it felt neat and optimised.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I trade off between memmy and wefwef

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Liftoff on Android is my current go-to, but I'm eagerly awaiting the first build of Sync for Lemmy. Sync was always my favorite app for the site that shall not be named.

Is there anything that gets you multiple columns on tablets?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Liftoff on Android. Web browser on iOS.

Liftoff let's you search for keywords by Community, Comments, or Posts. That feature alone is golden and no other app does this.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Wefwef app on Android has all these options in it's search feature: by Post, comment, community, or user.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I read somewhere that wefwef was web only. Trying it out now.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Its a PWA. Works brilliantly

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Memmy has search filters as well

I had issues logging into wefwef so can't speak to that but Memmy works amazing and has a really clean UI

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Connect for Lemmy on Android. Reminds me pretty much of RIF.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using connect. Only gripe so far is there's no apparent "hide post" button

Also I'm not sure if "block user" is the same as Sync's "filter user" or something else
