Why YSK: looks very similar and functions like Apollo, if you're used to Apollo that's a great app for you, even if you do not, it's still one of the best apps for lemmy You can install the web app here: wefwef.app/settings/install or just use it on your browser here wefwef.app

It's definitely currently the best app out there. However as an android user, the design paradigm feels very alien to me which makes me really miss Sync.

I'm curious what feels different to you? I came from Sync to Wefwef and it's been a smooth transition for me. It reminds me of how the sync layout used to be which I never updated from when he switched versions so that may be it.

Swiping a post away to return to the feed view was huge for me. I also changed the font size, adapted the comment swipe behavior to my liking, disabled various buttons and enabled others. All features that make it feel different for me.

But I was more talking about the general look and feel of the app which perfectly fits iOS, but not Android. Android usually has a burger menu that opens a sidebar on the left which contains the settings while iOS apps tend to have it in the bottom bar. The login is also mostly in there which is also different from iOS. Things like that.

I agree with the Android thing, I have Android as well but maybe I'm less conflicted because I used to have Apollo on iOS before? 🤷🏻 IDK but this app looks fine to my eye and I can stand the lack of Monet/Material You for it...
