Any prior RIF users with some advice for which app to switch to for Lemmy that's the most similar?
Connect for Lemmy, so far so good
Seconding Connect. Only been using it for the past 24hrs and the UI is equally as minimalist with some new idiosyncrasies to get used to.
3rding this. I absolutely love Connect.
Connect is GOAT. Only thing I need is custom font size then it would be perfect, at the moment it's either too big or too small.
Using Wefwef right now which was a huge upgrade from Jerboa. About to download Connect to see what all the hype is about.
Edit: ok all you fuckers are correct this is DOPE. Confirmed Connect user.
It's overall pretty good so far but I find that the swipe interactions with comments and posts can be a bit clunky. I frequently will swipe too far and accidentally save a comment when I just want to upvote. I'm still so used to Sync though.
Tried a few of these apps so far. Connect is really nice! It seems really snappy, and got it mostly working just like how I'd had RIF setup before.
Check out WefWef for Lemmy
Agreed. I just got it and it feels great so far, similar to Apollo
Is this an android app? Cause I couldn't find it on any app store lol
It’s a web app at http://wefwef.app
Yup, but you have to get it through TestFlight right now. It’s going to be on the App Store soon though.
Here’s a link to the Memmy TestFlight page.
I'm using Connect for Lemmy and so far it's fairly good.
The only thing I'd change about Connect is the visability of comment interaction buttons but other than that with a few tweaks to font sizes and stuff it's a fairly similar experience to RIF.
As a former RIF user, I personally like Liftoff, which you can get in the Play Store, but other popular options are Jerboa, Thunder, Connect for Lemmy, wefwef, and Summit.
Connect and Liftoff are able to give a similar RIF UI. I was really liking Liftoff until I just now noticed why it was so "quiet" despite trying to chat a storm: it has no inbox and no notifications. Connect does, though. But it has less options for customizing the layout...
I want something that takes the best of both and smushes them together. 😩
Honestly ... I'm just using the website. With Firefox you can make any webpage into a homescreen app by chosing "Install" from Settings.
LiftOff and Thunder are also good. My favorite is still Jerboa though
