Go check it out, it’s pretty cool. It also shows a check mark which is a nice visual cue for sorting.
btw, are there any graphic designers here with experience with SVGs? If we want to make this feature even better, we need custom calendar icons!
Thank you for the sorting update, the transition from Apollo has been flawless, loving my new home!
+1! Wefwef+Lemmy is definitely scratching the itch.
Yup spent a day trying to scroll Facebook and hated every second of it. Lemmy+wefwef = A good time

What are you looking for in an iOS app? If it was an iOS app, it would just be a wrapper web view.
Might make it easier for normal people to find. First thing I did was search the App Store for Lemmy. There was nothing there of course. It wasn’t until a couple days later I came across wefwef and am super happy with it.
Does the PWA allow for haptic feedback? I miss the satisfying clunk associated with actions
This is the only thing keeping m me from using wefwef. I’m using Memmy instead because it’s similar enough but has the haptics.
Navigator.vibrate API is only available in non-Safari browsers, unfortunately.

For me it might be notifications. But I believe Apple at least recently got the api working to allow for notifications via web apps.
Implementing that, however, may be another story. But it’d be neat.
Web apps can notify.
However I’m not sure - that might require a backend server to SEND notifications to your device.
Yes once things calm down a bit I’d love to request Lemmy to support web push.
Elk, a web client for Mastodon, can send push notifications because mastodon supports Web Push 😁
Unified push may be worth looking in to: https://github.com/uniqush/uniqush-push
Yeah, I believe you’re right. And spinning up something like that may be out of the scope of this project (costs and whatnot). Which is fine. But it would be some neat gold plating.
Wefwef is already a hosted application so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be able to handle push notifications for the installed clients on the hosted wefwef instance. Besides the code not being implemented yet of course.
One think I have noticed is that Apple has done a poor implementation for notifications on PWAs. But other than that I don’t see a reason to go native.
It’s getting better. There is a fix for sound not working in the next version of iOS.
Remember indexeddb? That took Apple years to get right :/
While I am completely in love with the web app format, the main reason I’d like to see an AppStore app is for you to make some $$$ and continue development for a very long time ❤️
I’ve got an iPhone 14 Pro with the 120hz display. The animations in Apollo were flawless and just incredibly smooth/responsive.
My only critique of wefwef is that some animations seem a bit clunky and don’t seem to take advantage of the higher refresh rate. Is this a limitation of webapps? Or could this be improved with later updates?

You will be surprised how many people have never heard of PWA/webapp. They install Angry Birds from the app store and expect all apps to be installed and updated the same way. Having it listed in the app store will significantly increase the visibility of your app as well, reaching more people who are not familiar with the “lists” that only core Lemmy fans have seen.
Also, many people are biased against web apps because of previous experience.
Please
- Publish to the App Store
- Add a donate button to the app
- Take my money
I love what’s happening with this thing so much!
It takes a bit of digging, but you can support them through GitHub!
I’m trying to tip wefwef, and I have been to GitHub, and I found the thread about contributing… but still no place to tip that I can easily find. Any link would be appreciated.
nice! would be great to have a setting to choose our preferred sorting option for comments too
error loading comment
Love it! This was the #1 feature I was really hoping for soon.
Would you consider adding the ability for a custom date range? ie 6 months ago, or maybe even between day aa/aa/aa to zz/zz/zz?
Loving wefwef, thanks for the amazing work you’ve done.
Edit: Also when I select a sort by option, maybe it could become the default? For example, if I sort comments by top then top will be the default until I change it again.
I kinda wished reddit had that too. Particularly if you want to catch up on news after x amount of time
You all have been working hard today, thank you!
Not sure if this is being considered, but if I open an image and then use the “back” gesture, it navigates the page behind the image backwards, instead of closing the image. I like you can swipe up to dismiss the image but it’s like muscle memory for me to use the back gesture to get “back” to where I was. Love all the updates! My favorite app so far.
There is already an issue submitted on that one. Been watching it myself since it can be annoying. It is for any popups too like new comments
Is it possible to add haptic feedback, or is that not possible because it’s a web app?
I’m pretty sure it isn’t possible because its a webapp
There is support for it. Just not in Safari. Safari is the single reason why I’ll never consider an iPhone until other browsers (including their engines) are allowed.
There’s a post about this here
This app has made the switch from reddit / Apollo painless and it works great so far. Many thanks for that! One thing I am struggling a bit with is I can’t seem to find a way to filter out communities.
I used to love browsing the all feed and don’t mind the porn, but I was just shown about half a dozen different furry cocks engaged in various gay activities all from the same community, during my short morning scroll.
That’s a bit much, Apollo used to have a function to filter out keywords, subs or users and I really am missing that option.
There’s a check to hide nsfw in Lemmy ui settings.
It’s not about the NSFW (for the most part), I really miss the ability to filter out topics, keywords, communities, or users in general.
On reddit I had a highly curated feed free of the most common karma farmers, the most obnoxious political discussions, things I found disgusting or otherwise didn’t care for, and so on. Was very good for my mental health during the trump presidency, I’m not even an American and it was impossible to avoid the latest outrage over the dumb shit he did and said on a daily basis.
You can also filter out communities and users in Lemmy ui. Keywords, not yet however
To be honest I have only used wefwef to access lemmy so far, I suppose I have to dig a little deeper then to find those settings. Thank you though!
No problem! It is planned to get user setting in wefwef.
Might throw a link in settings just for now 🤔
Glad to hear it’s planned for the future. In the mean time a link sounds like a great quick fix
You’ve put a ton of work into this! I just donated on GitHub, hope this continues to expand, love your app :)
Pleasee add the ability to block or filter out communities. I want to browse All without seeing naked girls
You can block from Lemmy settings in the Lemmy ui for now
I really thought I was. I updated again this morning and it’s there now. User error on my side. Awesome feature!
There’s an open PR for this right now, submitted yesterday
I literally commented that one of my only wants was a top of X filter. Took em like 12 hours to get it in lmfao.
Will there be a way of graying out posts that you have already clicked into
Wow, this is probably the best update yet!! Thank you!!
Yep, post sorting makes a big difference to how active lemmy feels
Agreed, but this update also fixed a bunch of small issues I had too, like swipe to go back and stealing memes.
I’ll think about making SVGs when I get home from work. No promises (I get home at 11pm)
How would I commit an SVG? I don’t see an assets folder and From what I saw of the code (not my area of expertise) it’s currently a web link???
