It’s probably a bit of both - wefwef has been around for literally just days at this point I believe, so I have high hopes it will continue to improve.
Beyond that, there are a lot of people who feel Apollo is/was the best user experience for Reddit, and there will be a LOT of devs trying to emulate that - one way or another, we’re going to get a high-quality Apollo replacement eventually.
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.
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.
Yeah the icon is goofy but I can overlook it for the time being - I’d rather them focus on features and functionality and bring the fun stuff later (which seems to be how they’re approaching this)
Memmy is developing at a crazy fast rate - it’s leapfrogged Mlem in features and stability already imho.
too little, too late.
You’re way too aggressive about this. You can join any other instance and access the same content, or start your own. Nobody is “silencing” you.
If you want absolute control over what instances you’re federated with, start your own instance. Otherwise, find one that’s more closely aligned to your views.
As others have said, this is one of the main points of federated networks, if you don’t like how an instance is run, you can take your ball and go play somewhere else.
I really really hate to see Apollo go, but at the same time, I hope other Reddit app devs follow suit. Absolute trash way that Reddit is treating not only their devs, but users too.
Another Reddit refugee here: lemmy makes much more sense to my brain than mastodon ever did. So far, this has huge promise.
Agreed in most scenarios, but wefwef is arguably the best PWA I’ve ever used - it’s nice right now as an option to get something into user’s hands quickly without waiting for App Store approval. Would love to see it become a native app eventually.
