Hey guys! I usually check Lemmy on my Mac with the iOS apps, or my phone with Memmy, but I was wondering what the best way to view the site on Windows is?
Is it simply via the browser? Is there an “app”? Thank you!
Browser.
I’d say browsing Lemmy with a web browser works just fine. You can use wefwef if you want a more app experience. I’m not sure if there are currently any windows dedicated apps. I’m sure they’re being worked on though.
Web browser though I’d love it if someday we had something like the RES.

I installed https://wefwef.app as a PWA via Edge, and I keep it snapped to one side. I pull it up whenever I want to check my feeds, and get the same experience on Desktop as on phone. I like it to a ludicrous level.
Funny thing is that WefWef achieved what many wanted from Apollo, to have a desktop/Mac/iPad client, many were convinced that it was the Half life 3 of Apollo.
Care to elaborate on what makes this better?
I’m not the original poster, but as someone who used Apollo on an iPhone for years, it has the same look/feel of Apollo and is (generally) pretty snappy. Admittedly, I haven’t tried many other apps/PWAs for comparison, but I find wefwef to be easy to use, easy to switch between accounts when necessary, and it has the same Apollo-ish interface I’ve gotten used to over time.
I never used Apollo, but I’m pretty high on wefwef right now. My phone even autocorrects it if I spell it wrong now, lol. I love the way things are presented in it, and snapped to one side in Windows, it’s just a perfect half-screen feed that I can leave open all the time, and since it’s installed, I can have a dedicated Lemmy icon my Desktop Taskbar to check once in a while as I’m doing other things and it’s like it’s own little app. I keep signal snapped to side as well. It just suits my work flow. I find it easier to read and a better use of space than the website proper as well.
Webbrowser for the moment
Install linux
There’s “LiftOff!” for windows, which I’m using for PC. Besides that, just the browser.
I don’t have a WinPC but try wefwef.app and see what that looks like.
In whatever the latest version of Firefox is.
You can download Android apps via WSA, but there’s really no need to, they don’t give you any additional functionality (as of right now)
Browser.
Add some plugins and you can customize to your liking.
Thank guys, I figured as much, but I love to keep myself updated on new apps etc. Hope this post can help someone else. Have a great day!
