I landed here after RIF stopped working on my device and followed RIF link. This will be my new place to find content and see aggregation. Here it is to the end of reddit that starts today! 🍻

Just made my account too. RIP RIF, you were good to me.

Now I'm excited to see what this Lemmy.world is all about - does it have an app on the Play store?

Connect for lemmy working well for me, an ex-rif user!

There are several. Unfortunately, they are all in early alpha. Lemmy wasn't quite ready for the mainstream, so the developers are scrambling a bit. That said, the improvements, even over just the last week or so, are impressive. Even if the apps are currently a bit threadbare and buggy still.

Jerboa is available on the app store. I'm personally using Thunder, though you need to download it from GitHub right now to use it. There are several more out there, but I've not played with them yet.

Ah that's good there are things coming! Looking forward to what the devs can do.

I'll keep a look out! Thanks.

If you don't mind.... can you let us know which app u end up using. I'm hoping to get one that is closest to the RIF app experience of yore

[–] Benjamin_Kenobi 5 points 1 year ago

I'm using Connect for Lemmy right now. You'll find it on Play store.

I'm using wefwef.app seems pretty decent so far.

I think the apps will drastically improve in the next month so I'm just using a mobile browser until I see which one becomes the best. The mobile browser is already way better than reddit on a mobile browser so it's not bad.

[–] SirYeet 1 points 1 year ago

Same. And your right, the browser for Lemmy right now is SO GOOD.

[–] ceuk 1 points 1 year ago

I've tried half a dozen on Android. wefwef and LiftOff are the best right now IMO

Currently using Connect for lemmy which feels pretty close to RiF, though the Dev of Boost is making an app for android that looks just like RiF from the screenshots so that looks promising! The next couple of months will likely be a period of trial and error for a lot of folk. Exciting times.

You can use any Lemmy reader app, I use jerboa

[–] HappycamperNZ 1 points 1 year ago

Jervboa is playing up as they are waiting on an update so the main lemmy.world doest come up.

[–] wide_eyed_stupid 1 points 1 year ago

It has a whole list of apps. Many devs have moved to Lemmy already. Some still in development, others announced. Couple of working ones.

Here's the entire list: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
