Still like wefwef better though. Cannot be removed from app stores if some regulation comes along.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (4 children)

True that! But wefwef is unfortunately a little finicky on my phone. Sometimes scrolling doesn't respond at all :(

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

That's a bug with safari unfortunately. The trick is to not touch anything for a few seconds then try scrolling again. If you try scrolling too quickly you reset the "counter" though

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

The devs mentioned that in one of the release notes. They say it’s due to a bug in WebKit. If you touch nothing for a second or two it will unfreeze.

I get a horrible flicker issue with wefwef. Requires me to close and reopen a few times to get it working right. Still using Jerboa mostly since it's basic and functions enough.

[–] Nks 4 points 2 years ago

That’s my biggest gripe with wefwef

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I’m just happy to continue using the muscle memory from Apollo.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have way more bugs on Memmy. I can’t even reply to most comments in that app for some reason. Wefwef can be a little finicky but smoother overall for me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You can’t reply to comments? You swipe to reply. I have no issues replying on any version of it.

There are bugs but the developers fix a ton very quickly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, it doesn’t work a lot of the time. It also let me log in but says I don’t subscribe to any communities (which is wrong) and doesn’t show many any communities when I use search.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The dev is about to release a new ‘slider’ for when you slide to reply because it had issues.

The lack of communities is apparently a lemmy issue despite working in wefwef. Dev looked into it apparently. Something about the api they are using. Only affecting certain instances.

They’re developing very fast hence the bugs. They do fix quickly too though. Im trying to submit as many bugs to them on GitHub as possible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah that makes sense. I have no problem using wefwef for the time being until these other apps iron the kinks out.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

i've used a couple of apps but i find jerboa is the best so far. the bugs i encountered were as a result of me being part of a large instance rather than the app itself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Same here, it's also really snappy for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My only thing about Jerboa, is there a way to move the buttons under comments to the left? I use my left hand to browse and reaching all the way to the right is a bit much.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That would be a good feature to add, I'm personally a righty but I'm all for accessibility features.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm also right handed but I use my left hand for my phone. I never realized how weird that was until recently haha.

Patiently waiting for savior Boost for Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

same. did you retain boost after July 1? it somehow still works for reddit (not that I'm using reddit at all, just kept it out of curiosity). I loved their new material design and am so excited for the lemmy app.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It worked until today, so now I'm waiting for the Lemmy version

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah I did, I don't know why it kept working but it eventually stopped today. Didn't really care as same as you I only kept if out of curiosity and for all times sake. Might finally uninstall when Lemmy version will come out.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I prefer Memmy to others at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Liftoff is nice. I have no complaints as of yet.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's really cool we have so many clients, and more are on the way. :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, it’s amazing we have so many awesome developers!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Tried and liked both but wefwef is nicer IMHO

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m surprised there aren’t many people talking about Mlem. It’s far from perfect and it still misses some basic features (such as a full screen image viewer lol) but I find it to be the prettiest and most intuitive of the bunch.

[–] tht7 1 points 2 years ago

Aww thanks man! Alsoooo I promise we’re working on it https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem/pull/171

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Memmy for mobile Wefwef for desktop

Best of both worlds!

I’ll switch to Memmy once I can respond to comments

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can respond to comments. Swipe the comment from right to left.

For upvotes swipe from left to right.

Yeah I had to ask also...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well bugger me sideways and call me a good girl, it worked! Thanks!!

They def need to add it the the triple dot menu

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Good girl... :o)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

You're a very good girl

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I’m preferring Memmy right now, but I’m keeping Mlem and wefwef on my home screen to see how they keep up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Currently running Jerboa, liftoff and thunder. Would love to check memmy but couldn't find an APK last time I check the GitHub page, I'm not compiling it myself. I love Jerboa, but recently has been a bit buggy. Liftoff is nice, although I would like to see some changes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Android too, but you need to compile it. No apks published.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I thought the update for Jerboa today cleared up a lot of the bugs and really improved the interface. It got really buggy and laggy for a while but I haven't had any issues today at all. I'm really impressed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I only found Memmy on AppStore(im in Russian region). Is Wefwef not available in russia?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wefwef.app is a web client

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Ah, okay then

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Wefwef is a progressive app and Memmy is a native app for Lemmy.

Is there apk builds yet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I can’t seem to block communities in wefwef?
