Hi there! So there’s been a ton of work by a bunch of developers that are really frustrated with Apollo going away end of month.
That’s why I created (yet another) Apollo-like Lemmy client called wefwef - https://wefwef.app.
Right now it’s targetting iOS - you can still use it on Android phones, but it’s untested. An Android theme is in the works!
So, why wefwef?
- Progressive web app — It’s easy to try, and works cross platform. Get the same experience on your phone, tablet and computer. If you like it, add to home screen for a like-native experience.
- Open source! Self hosting and hacking is totally doable
There’s a TON of work to be done, but the basics are there (browsing, commenting and voting). More to come soon! Let me know what you think.
Would it be possible to modify the sorting feature so that it isn’t universal? In Apollo, unless I’m misremembering, I’m fairly certain the sorting would default back to a set sorting function, usually Hot or whatever the equivalent was. It might’ve been a setting called default sorting method, again my memory is hazy and I can’t exactly go check. I digress. This was convenient bc oftentimes when someone sorts by Top, Active, or Controversial it is only for the given instance they’re currently viewing, and they intend on viewing a specific sorting method generally while otherwise browsing. It would be nice as at least an option, if possible to implement easily.
