After saying goodbye to RIF and reddit, it's time for me to move on. So far I've used 4 apps for Lemmy and this is my personal ranking:

  1. wefwef.app. Very clean design, works well and smooth experience. Overall the best implementation so far.

  2. Connect/Liftoff (tied). Both are solid, I prefer Connect's sidebar and options but I prefer the design of the posts and comments on Liftoff. When the comments stack in Connect it looks awful IMO.

  3. Jerboa. As a first option it was good but after so many timeouts, other design issues and multiple errors I kinda gave up on the app. After its polished I'll give it another try.

I’m using the beta of Memmy and it’s my preferred, but WefWef is a close second. The only ding against WW is it’s a web app, not a native app and that’s my own preference. either option is solid

There is a native wefwef app for android and it feels very close to rif

I wondered why the rif developer doesn't just recode rif to point at lemmy tbh

I asked the same thing about Apollo and since this is federated the data is way different than Reddit and would take a lot of work to repurpose a Reddit client. Not saying they won’t but it sounds like it’s a bigger job than one would think
