Is there a good Lemmy app similar to RIF? (self.asklemmy)

Hello,

I've been using Reddit for several years, most of which through RIF. On my desktop, I used to use old.reddit, but with how things are going, I doubt it'll survive much longer. They might just ride out the current storm before they go that far. However, I spend a significant portion of my time on the internet on my phone, so I'm looking for a simple, easy to use app that's similar to what I'm used to.

Android btw.

for iOS Mlem is similar to Apollo. Link should be on the official Lemmy page

I wouldn’t say mlem is similar to Apollo. At least not yet. It’s in a very early state and is missing a lot of essential features. You can basically read threads and that’s about it. Posting and replying is super rudimentary, you can’t see your own profile and notifications are just a placeholder.

I’m sure it will be great in a few months but right now, the web version is your best choice on iOS.

Give it some time. The devs are currently working things out.

That was my takeaway as well

I think it has the most important features already in it, but what mainly bothers me is the fact that is crashes a lot and that you can’t search for new communities.

I’m able to search for communities by tapping the “Subscribed” title at the top and then typing something, it should show autocompleted communities.

Thanks! Wow, that’s well hidden

There are notifications in Mlem?

The last version added a "Messages" tab but so far it doesn't have any content.
