E2:If this is somehow the first post you found in your journey, this master list of apps and how to download them will help more than this post:https://lemmy.world/post/907413 Also the test flight links in the post worked.
There are no lemmy-related apps in the iPhone store. All the websites for the apps lead to placeholder websites or websites that don’t work.
E: Thank you all for your help. The websites only work when accessed via phone. Still no test flight codes yet. I’m not going to delete this because I know others are probably going to have the same struggle and question.
For wefwef specifically, it’s a PWA, so open this on Safari and follow instructions there: https://wefwef.app/settings/install
For other apps, they’re mostly still in beta and you need a TestFlight invite link. Search for the posts here and they’ll probably have the link
TY for this comment that sends me directly to the instructions! if I could pin it, I would. I am currently using it!
You should be able to save the weblink to your home screen through Safari.
Memmy should be on the Appstore in a few hours!
Been great in TestFlight, great updates
It’s a web app:
I went looking yesterday too. I think this is a browser only application
It is, it’s a Progressive Web App (PWA). A lot more apps than we’d think are actually PWA wrapped and put on the App Store and Play Store.
For the folks who are wondering, open WefWef.app on your phone/tablet, click your share button, and then add to desktop/Home Screen. It will make it feel like an app.
There is also Mlem, which has a testflight build. I am using it right now.
I know what you mean, it’s a huge problem for onboarding new people. Wefwef is the only one that’s actually accessible to regular users since it’s a web app, but I don’t think most people are familiar with how to “install” those.
I wonder how many redditors gave up on joining lemmy because they couldn’t find a single app?
Any TestFlight app is accessible to “regular users” too
