Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Yes, I created the daily today just to say how good the new kiwi icon looks, but feel free to chat anything that takes your fancy.

Today is Friday, what are your weekend plans?

    Haha, hopefully I stick around :) Yeah, that’s what brought me along to finally give it a go, as I was using Apollo.

      I hope you do stick around!

      I’m very fussy about apps so I’m still mostly using the website on my phone, but there is a list of android apps here from the !android@lemmy.ml community.

        I’ve been using WefWef today as it’s based off of the Apollo app UI, and apart from a couple of bugs/wants, its been great so far 👍

          I’ve seen that but it seems to be struggling with it’s popularity! It’s self-hostable, I wonder if it’s the sort of thing you could run a version of for the instance. E.g. wefwef.lemmy.nz could be a wefwef frontend that prioritises the lemmy.nz page for logged out users, but otherwise works the same.

          Edit: I went and did it, you can now access wefwef.lemmy.nz

            This is awesome but FYI it’s recently been updated to 0.6.0.

              Haha wow, I thought “I only did it an hour ago, how could it not be the most recent!” But then I see 0.6.0 was released 15 mins ago. I’ll update it :)

            That’s pretty cool! Total noob is this regard so I probably wouldn’t have even been able to do it myself haha

              The basics of self-hosting stuff is pretty simple once you get used to it. But it is one of those things that you need a high tolerance for frustration because you will spend hours banging your head against the wall wondering why something isn’t working, then either you realise you made a silly mistake, or it suddenly starts working and you have no idea what changed to make it work.

                  You’re talking about wefwef still?

                  The main reason is that this afternoon I wasn’t able to access wefwef.app half the time, it was giving me errors. I presume because the server couldn’t handle a sudden surge in popularity.

                  Other than getting ourselves a version we host ourselves so has a lower server load, I don’t think there’s any other benefit.
