Memmy with the Apollo-inspired Sunset theme has been giving me a nice same-but-different vibe. That said, if Christian enters the Lemmy arena I’d happily support him.

Yeah wefwef is the best look-a-like experience for Lemmy. like Apollo was for Reddit.

Wefwef is rebrand as voyager now FYI. Just saw it on my feed, in case anyone was confused like me.

I tried to find wefwef on appstore, no chance.

edit: Ah, I see it's a webapp which you store "as a shortcut" to safari. pleasant to hear, but too many steps and unorthodox for some people. Not all people would love to hear that instead of going to appstore and hitting "install" they would have to do 5-6 separate steps instead they've never done (including me, and Im a software engineer:P) And before that, you have to think that "hey, how do I put this on my homescreen again?" and either you hit settings intentionally or by mistake, or somebody has to tell you. Like ... too many steps between having the app on your menu/using it everyday and "installing" it.

You have to do the “install” procedure only once. Downside is when I clear my history and website data, I also need to login again to lemmy. So a dedicated app would be better instead of this web app.

It was really easy for me actually, just go to wefwef.app (or whatever the new url is now that it's called voyager) on my browser of choice, go to settings and tap install, and then it automatically makes an icon on my home screen to put where I want. Still gotta sign in or make an account but that's fairly easy, but works and looks like a normal app for the most part otherwise

For reference I'm on Android using Firefox so that may be different on ios

Most beta apps are full already Mlem and Memmy are coming out soon on the App Store.

I have mentioned it before and got no answer on the Apollo Reddit board

Someone did tell me that he thinks Lemmy is too new and would like to see where it goes as a platform. That’s here-say though

The things is... having Christian sign on and port Apollo over would be a pretty good way to ensure Lemmy's survival.

While I agree I think he needs time to mourn the loss of his nine year old project. Just my 2 cents

He needs to seriously consider his next professional move. His entire lifeline was kicked out from under him.

Lemmy is too small for him to reasonably capitalize on. So I'm not surprised he is in a wait-and-see mode on that one.

For the time being, there's wefwef. But that feels like a band-aid, rather than a temporary solution. I miss Christian and his shenanigans

Would have been helpful if Lemmy had been advertised very strongly from Apollo near the end to get people moving across here. Feels like a missed opportunity.

I want this too. But I’m sure he is still enjoying his well deserved break. Let’s give it to him. I’m sure he’ll come up with a new project soon.

He said he’s not interested in building a new Apollo-like app in an interview with The Verge.

It’s hard for me to build another thing. If it just evaporated again, it would be like a double breakup. This has been so exhausting for the last few months. The amount of work it would take to port all the API endpoints over to Lemmy or Kbin or something, that would be a gargantuan amount of work that I’m not sure I have the capacity for. Source

Yeah think of all that effort and it vanishes. I get it.

Maybe he’ll come around after a bit.

In the meantime, there’s lots of innovation going on inspired by him.
