Hard to break old habits, I kept accidently opening the RiF app. And so long as I'm not logged in I can browse reddit. Is this the case for anyone else? And do we know why?

It isn't just you, and as for why it's because reddit is staffed by morons. There's no point in sugar coating that.

RIF won't be back like Vanced, best to do what I did and put your Lemmy app on that square of your home screen.

I'm using WefWef. It feels best IMO. It's no RIF but it's feeling closer than ever. It installs seamlessly via browser (web app) and just pops into your app drawer. Apparently based off Apollo too. Just click the link and try it. https://wefwef.app/ you can install it from there

Same, started with jerboa and it's good but someone suggested liftoff and I'm really digging it. I do like hopping back on jerboa now and then but I think liftoff is what I'll be using.

I use Jerboa but there are more every week

've enjoyed using Connect so far, feels a bit like RIF

Using Connect rn. Seems ok in my experience and might explore others apps on Android too.
