    Apollo had a huge loyal customer base.

    Wefwef provides an almost perfectly cloned UI and is a mere WebApp.

    For this reason a lot of users are so impressed with it that they are evangelising it.

    The big problem with it that it requires users to submit their login credentials, which is a bit of a security issue.

      Unfortunately all apps are suffering that issue because Lemmy doesn’t support OAuth2. It’s one of the many things on the dev backlog, but hopefully it won’t be too long.

        You need to supply the app with your username and password. The app could theoretically steal your credentials when you enter them in order to login. It’s a good reason to not reuse passwords.

          Oof, I didn’t give this thought when I signed in. I luckily didn’t reuse my password here but that’s a great reminder, and good to know my exposure…
