    For those of you who, like me, are coming from Apollo you guys can try wefwef.app. It’s great

      It’s a nice app, but I’m really wondering who came up with that name and why. That’s not how you name something if you want it to be successful.

      I know this night sound like a dumb comment, but it’s kind of worth thinking about.

      Since it isn’t an iOS app, they could probably make a version of it which isn’t so iOS inspired, because frankly that layout is confusing to anyone who isn’t used to it.

      I know Apple have a way of doing things, and they’re like apps to look a certain way, but if you’re not used to it it’s not intuitive at all.

        But the point of wefwef is to feel familiar to those who used and are missing Apollo, the most popular iOS app.

        There has been a groundswell of Android apps starting up and not a great deal of activity in the iOS-specific space. So, wefwef is welcome for those looking for something that ticks that box.

        I just put a webpage link to my Lemmy homepage on my Home Screen. I haven’t found the ability to comment or anything though, and I’m signed in.

        Edit- apparently I was signed out. 🤣

        Oh yeah, it’s a bit all over the place, eh? Looks quite slick though, might give it a go!

      I keep getting “cant load sever data” with this app. Is this just a lemmy thing or an app thing.

        In one of the posts a couple days ago the developer of wefef stated that the app is getting rate limited by lemmy.world servers because so many people are using it. I think they were trying to resolve it but I am still getting the same issue occasionally. It’s just growing pains of the whole ecosystem & totally expected and normal. I’m happy to be an early adopter of all this stuff and watching it grow and mature will be an exciting adventure!
