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?

Good news. You can instal Wefwef and get the Apollo experience on android now. Give it a try and see how awesome it’s been for us iOS users

I can't seem to find wefwef in the play store. ~~Is it there or does one need to side load it.~~

I'm dumb. You gotta go to ~~the GitHub and go to the app in the web~~ https://wefwef.app and "install" it.

It seems to think my account on Lemmy.world doesn't exist and won't load posts.

You might want to try it again. A lot of Reddit alternatives have been struggling to keep up with the influx of new users.

You may also need to verify your email address. I had issues getting logged in when I created my account but I was using Mlem at the time.

With all of that said, I’m using wefwef right now.

Yes it seems to be working well now with my Lemmy.world account, thanks!

Ah thanks. Took me a moment to realize that.

Using wefwef on lemmy.world currently does not work, ruud says he broke something. It just gives a problem fetching posts error for me.

[-] jarvis2323@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think they were upgrading Lemmy world today, so it was offline for a few hours

[-] AllGoesUpMustGoDown@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Not sure, wefwef works again now. Typing this on wefwef.

Sorry about being vague with the instructions. Yeah it’s a bit of a different experience, and with Lemmy.world being down for a few hours today, I just saw this

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
