I’ve tried a few but none give me the same super functional feeling RIF gave me. Jerboa isn’t bad which is what I’m using now but I’d like something a little closer to RIF. Any suggestions?

Have you checked out wefwef.app? It’s a browser based app (type it into your browser and then add it as an “app” on your homescreen), which I don’t normally like, but it functions fairly well. It doesn’t quite look like RIF and instead has more of an iOS look to it…but it is also more “bare bones” in appearance than other Lemmy apps seem to be. So it’s simple look reminds me of RIF in a way.

So far I’ve only tried out a few apps tho personally. I’m still hunting for my daily driver as well.

Edit: It does have some missing functionalities but the devs seem quick to add new features

Seconded wefwef.app. Super cool that it’s a PWA. I was both a big time RiF and Apollo user and this definitely scratches that itch

I like this a lot I just wish it was an actual app and not something I have to go into a browser for. If it gets ported onto the play store or something I’d consider it.

You can install the PWA and it’ll be exactly like an app

How does this work on Android? I already tried this before and it did nothing.

Edit: Nevermind I tried it on chrome and it worked. Firefox wasn’t working.

You can open your browser menu when in wefwef and press “install” to install it like a native app. I’m a RiF user in exile and Connect for Lemmy with list view and the AMOLED theme hits pretty similar notes as RiF, its my main driver right now.

It’s basically a pixel perfect copy of Apollo

I’d say check out connect and liftoff

Tried liftoff earlier but it seems to lock me out of certain instances I know aren’t defederated. Otherwise I’d like it. Maybe I’ll try it again when it’s got some more dev time.

Liftoff wasn’t recognizing the instance im on before, but now i tried it again and it worked, just wrote the url there and it connected, using it right now, seems really nice

Jerboa, set to list view in the top right menu is super close, IMO.

As a former RIF user, I agree, but it’s been less stable than other apps lately, so I’ve started to use some other apps (mostly conneci) more

Excellent suggestion - it’s much better.

I always used the card view in RIF, so Jerboa felt super familiar immediately. I’m glad it was the first app I landed on

Liftoff is working pretty well for me. Supports multiple accounts, fairly intuitive UX.

+1, Liftoff is pretty good. I’m a Sync user and decently happy with Liftoff while I wait

Agreed, the ability to seamlessly switch between which instance you’re viewing from and which account to use is really cool. It makes me wish I had a desktop client with that option (which probably exists honestly, I’m just not aware of one)

I’m using Connect for Lemmy right now. While it has a card node, you can switch to list.

It’'s still not a perfect equivalent, but it kinda… gets close, I guess? 🤷

Yeah, it’s not perfect but it’s close enough that I’m happy with it until Sync and/or Boost releases. I’d love for the rif dev to make a lemmy app, but I guess they’re throwing their weight behind tildes instead.
