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.
It’s good but laggy. Swiping doesn’t feels native unfortunately.
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.
Quick question: I noticed the API calls aren’t (weren’t?) compressed, is that on purpose?
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.
the json coming back from requests like showing a thread was not compressed when I checked yesterday (firefox on ubuntu): https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/1a99e758-deaa-46f6-8eff-3aa2158858ad.png
but I just checked again and now it’s correctly responding with compression (chrome on windows)
Ohh you’re referring to wefwef. I’m not the wefwef dev, I’m the memmy dev. Thought you were talking about API calls memmy makes.
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.
Yeah like a week after I joined they completely changed the display, and it’s been my heavy hitter. Wefwef feels like I never left Apollo though.

It worked for me once I logged in.
Using it right now. So far it’s nice. But I have like 7 plus the browser. See which becomes my default in time. I am just so used to RIF it’s going take an adjustment.
It’s great, but I really wish it had the equivalent of Apollo’s “compact” mode!
They just shipped it minutes ago! Second release in less than 24h lol
I love Memmy, but that icon looks like a clown tick.
We already are looking at adding community icons. 🤘
Memmy has seriously improved over the past two weeks, it’s development has been extremely fast and I’m very impressed with my limited casual use so far.
I’m keeping Apollo on my phone for the memories 😢
Same with Infinity😅
Infinity for Everything (Threadiverse) is under development.
I deleted rif because I absolutely will click on it just by habbit
🤌
I started using jerboa cause of a random suggestion, how does everyone feel about it? I noticed it doesnt collect user data and I think it said it encrypts stuff, which I like for privacy
After being here for 5 minutes. After not knowing how to login 6 minutes ago.
I’ve already forgot reddit exists.
What’s Reddit?
I’ve only started using it, but I’m liking it alright. That being said, I’m going to use Sync as soon as it’s available.
I am still getting used to it coming from RIF but it’s growing on me.
I’m using liftoff and I like it more, because it remembers that I only want posts from the communities that I’m subscribed to.
I am enjoying memmy
Same
The dev has done very well for such early releases.
Which clients?
Memmy + Mlem
Which is better?
Feature wise definitely Memmy, looks-wise Mlem
Memmy is on fire development-wise. Lots of updates.
Dunno Memmy is pretty neat looking with all the different themes
THERE ARE THEMES NOW?? Dang, development really is on fire.
I’ve been doing my best to read all of the notes for each update, but I totally missed that themes were a thing.
Dracula <3
Wow, I have been on Memmy for a few days and didn’t read any of the change logs. I love Dracula theme. Just enabled it. Thanks for mentioning! The new icon is good too, much better than last week’s.
FYI, Memmy was JUST submitted to the AppStore at 8am yesterday. It’s waiting on review. 🤞
I’ve got like 4 downloaded right now
I’ve got 5
- Mlem
- Memmy
- WefWef
- Thunder
- Liftoff
The more the better
I have 6 downloaded so I can try them all. Lmao
Jerboa
Connect
Liftoff
Lemmur
Thunder
WefwefEdit: 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!
I’m from RIF. I’m on Jerboa and i still haven’t tried the other ones because I’ve been doing other stuff. Lol
Fair!
Connect was my favorite until i realized its absolutely riddled with trackers. RIP. Currently trying Wefwef but ill probably come back to Jerboa.
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?
the apollo - memmy pipeline is real
Its not as polished as Apollo but years of development will do that for you.
I noticed at one point in the side swipe upvote the down vote and upvote waw pointing down just the color was changing
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.
I just need to figure out how to add more “subreddits” or whatever they are called and how to switch between them but other than that this app feels great so far. Fuck Spez. Currently using Memmy
Started with Jerboa until the 0.18.0 issue, switched to Thunder which was buggier than I liked. But now that Liftoff is finally on F-Droid it feels like I’ve found the definitive Android client. Well until Artemis that is.
Sync for Lemmy is also coming!
Liftoff is my favorite so far. It’s the closest to Infinity for Reddit, which is where I’m migrating from.
