I've had enough of the text editing issue, where when you press backspace it highlights the space before the word and ends up deleting it. The developer passes off responsibility for this to the engine they use and seems to have no intention of addressing it.

What are the pros and cons of the other Android apps? I'm only considering ones on F-Droid, not the Play Store, so that rules out Summit and Boost. Ones I have available are:

  • Thunder (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Interstellar (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Voyager
  • Eternity
  • muffed (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Combustible

I've tried pretty much every app there is and ended up with Thunder. It's got a huge amount of features and polish, a clean UI and gets regular updates. The only issue is that I don't see the number of upvotes on posts since my home instance upgraded Lemmy, though that will probably get fixed soon.

I've been using Thunder since I came to Lemmy, and I'm shocked to not see it mentioned more. It's fantastic, and seems to just feel right as someone that used rif for reddit

I tried thunder looking for exactly what you're saying but it didn't feel like rif with so many of the customization and settings that rif provided not being present. I don't just want something that looks like rif, I want something that works like it.

That's why I ultimately fell onto Summit. It is basically the one app I've found after trying them all that genuinely feels like rif, because it's packed to the brim with customizations and settings, with a very responsive dev, and fits the rif aesthetic (though you can change it to be however you like). It scratched that rif itch and I haven't touched another app since.

I might give Summit a go at some point then. I was never a power user of rif, so thumbnails appearing in the same places and general text size / layout etc was enough for me to draw comparisons.

I'm also way more active on Lemmy than I ever was on Reddit, I probably have more comments here in just over a year than I did in like a decade on reddit, so my use case has also changed I guess.

Thanks for the recommendation!
