Any luck with RIF or a similar app for Lemmy? Someone(s) develop that tool and Reddit is toast
RiF fanatic here. Neither mirrors directly. But Jerboa wasn’t bad. And I find I like Connect the best.
Boost, Slide and Sync are all coming to Lemmy. Lots of other great apps, too, though - I’ve recently been using Thunder and Connect.
I’m waiting for boost. Jerboa has been fine so far but I’ve used boost for almost a decade at this point, it’s hard not to have all the quality of life that was built into that app.
Same goes for me and Sync. I’ll buy the premium version again for Lemmy as soon as it’s available
I came from RedditSync and the app developer LJ Dawson is making a Lemmy Client. I am using Connect for Lemmy right now
Lots of Lemmy apps already and more coming, but apps aren’t going to turn the tide. Only content will do that. Until there are more subs here, the majority will remain hesitant to leave.
Jeroba is a good start instead of using a browser. It’s probably gonna take a while to get it streamlined.
Unfortunately jerboa is not seeing a lot of love, being the “official” mobile client and all, it’s devs are too busy working 24/7 on Lemmy instance server issues that began poping up on the Exodus. Connect for Lemmy is imho the best app right now.
So far wefwef has been my favorite. It’s a web app and has to be downloaded through Safari or Chrome, but it was made by the developer of Apollo and is very similar the overall experience of using that. Liftoff is a close second.
There’s actually several apps! Some of my top contenders are jerboa, liftoff, and summit.
Liftoff and summit are very similar to RiF, to me it’s deciding what I like more. Liftoff UI is slightly more polished, but it’s got some distracting bugs regarding upvotes. Summit feels more like the RiF replacement honestly, you can collapse comments by pressing a karot next to the username and it’s more “fat finger” friendly.
Jerboa is also good, but it feels like a different experience. That may be a good thing if the goal is to kill your old RiF habits
RIF user for 13 years, currently using Liftoff which is really slick. Not exactly the same but it’s close. Also liked jerboa but liftoff is my current lemmy app.
I tried Jerboa but it kept telling me to log in every 5 seconds so I got rid of it. Hopefully they get it working.
