if you want to post links or discuss Reddit over the next while, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy, thanks! (a more formal body may be forthcoming, but that’ll come in the morning if so)

    First post! I just want to drop a hint to anyone else coming from Apollo — I just installed wefwef.app and, despite the weird name, it is insanely close to an exact replica. I’m honestly surprised a PWA can work this well.

    Also,

      Yes, using this right now and it’s helping me feel like I’m still on Reddit. :)

      I’m using wefwef now, coming off of using Reddit Sync, and it’s delightfully intuitive. I’m super bummed about reddit imploding, but hey, at least we have a new place.

      It’s like how every time there’s a group chat, it spontaneously spawns a new, smaller group chat “without the annoying people”.

        That is much more likely to be a problem with your server, not the PWA, simply because it is just a client-side web app. Are you on one of the large servers? I’m hearing they’re struggling to service the influx of users.

        Although, I suppose it could be exacerbated by the app potentially requesting more from your server than the basic lemmy frontend does.

      Where does one find wefwef? A quick search didn’t give me anything obvious, and it’s not on the app store

        Ah, right — try wefwef.app, and be sure to install to your Home Screen to get the full benefits of the PWA capabilities (check the settings tab, or if on iOS, tap the “share” icon in safari and select that option).

        Updated my original comment with the link as well.
