    Highly recommend checking out wefwef - closest option to an Apollo clone as I’ve seen so far in terms of UI and functionality, and doesn’t even need to be installed. Memmy is a very good second place option, but I’ve been using wefwef since I heard about it yesterday and ZI think it’s better.

      It’s good but laggy. Swiping doesn’t feels native unfortunately.

        Are you using it as an installed PWA? I’m not having any issues with animations or scrolling. I have run into a few weird UI bugs with slide up menus within communities, but that’s about it.

          As the Memmy dev I can also highly recommend wefwef. Great product for such a short lifespan.

              Going outbound or inbound? Outbound the requests are super basic, inbound they are pretty large. There’s a lot of limitations on that.

              For example to get basic user info you have to receive a bunch of other information that you’re not going to bother using. Hopefully in time this will get changed, because there’s no reason to be receiving so much data whenever you really only need a few bytes.

          I do have installed as a PWA, and although I’m really liking it visually, it’s a bit buggy. I’d like to know if the bugginess is because of its beta status or the fact that it’s not native.

          If it’s the latter, it’d be unfortunate since it’s making my switch to Lemmy so much smoother as I feel like I’m using Apollo, which I’m very used to.

          IDK maybe I am being paranoid here :) Mlem feels smoother for me. It may be about frame rate too. I’m using 14 Pro and it has 120hz as I know.

            Yeah I can also see that animations aren’t as smooth as Mlem or other native apps, but it’s not bad enough that it bothers me. On an 14 Pro also.

            I imagine this has to do with the fact that PWAs likely don’t have access to full hardware acceleration for graphics, but I also don’t know enough about PWAs and iOS to know for sure.

      I started with Mlem and wasn’t a huge fan and was primarily using Memmy. But I decided to try mlem again as it’s been a while and it looks much better! Might be my new daily driver. I’ll give wefwef a try too.

      Using it right now. So far it’s nice. But I have like 7 plus the browser. See which becomes my default in time. I am just so used to RIF it’s going take an adjustment.
