Is using an app less load on the server than through a browser?

I would assume it is, since the server only needs to serve the API calls and not the whole web site code?

If so, getting people to use the apps could help with the current wave of users a little.

What’s the best Lemmy app? Has Christian (Apollo) made one yet?

Can vouch for wefwef. Having only used it for a few hours this morning, the improvement over the basic web interface is lovely.

Would be nice if Apollo would become open-source and then we could modify it to work with the fediverse. Maybe we could have a crowdfunding to pay back Christian’s work and make it opensource.

Christian isn’t interested. Only person I’ve heard about is the person from Sync. They’re making Sync For Lemmy. I’m trying a bunch so idk yet. Connect, Liftoff, Jerboa are a few. Look up WefWef. It’s a site app that looks like Apollo. Wefwef.app
