I’ve seen the app Apollo as the center of the reddit protest (it was mentioned and cited more than any other app in relevant posts). I’ve also seen many Lemmy clients in development taking inspiration from it.

As a lifetime Android user I’ve never been able to use it, and I’ve never gotten a proper answer to “why not just use the official app?” What made it different from the official application and other unofficial clients that consequently made it so popular among Redditors?

    Wefwef is my first experience with PWAs and I’m blown away at how well it works. It feels like a native app and super similar to Apollo in UI which is just astounding. I don’t see why this isn’t a more commonly used “platform”

      Seriously tho. Wefwef is incredible. Every instance should install it and give the choice to its users between the two frontends. PLus it would solve the rate limitation problems as both would be hosted on the same server.

      I use Mlem ATM and I like it but Wefwef is crazy good.
