I wish Christian Selig would build Apollo into a Lemmy client
Whatever he decides to focus on next (after some deserved time off!), I think it’s safe to say that he’ll have the communities support ❤️
Open your internet browser. Go to wefwef.app. This is Apollo for Lemmy.
It doesn’t have all the fleshed out features Apollo did. Yes it looks extremely similar but there was a wealth of features included in it.
It’s being actively developed right now. If you’re into software development it’s fun watching it being built on GitHub.
Apollo wasn’t built into what it was overnight. It took years. I know wefwef isn’t Apollo but it feels similar and is on its way to becoming feature-rich like Apollo once was.
Exactly. It’s also impressive how fast the development is, especially when the project founder was still doing all of it by himself. Within something like a week, he built my favorite lemmy experience.
I wish the instances themselves had good web interfaces. It might attract way more users.
Yep, and while it’s extremely impressive for a web app, it’s still not quite as smooth as a native one.
Pouring one out for RIF as well…
Agreed but personally with wefwef the transition has had much less of a sting. It feels basically the same but just like Reddit is having a slow week
I doubt a slow responsiveness has to do with wefwef.
Your account appears to be registered to lemmy.world. Might that be the reason why the past week was slow?
I mean that Lemmy feels like Reddit on a slow content week, not anything against wefwef. Wefwef is fantastic and gets even better every 12 hours or so; Lemmy still needs a lot more users/content before it feels like actual Reddit
