…but I don’t want to get rid of it! Been using RIF since 2011 and it’d feel so weird to take it off my home screen. I tried the Reddit app but it pollutes the front page with so much unnecessary shit that it becomes a chore to browse. Liking the look of Lemmy so far though.
Definitely deleted the app and put a Lemmy app in its place to keep that from happening.
Can I ask what app you use? Struggling to find the best one on Android
Connect for Lemmy, turn on List View and the AMOLED theme and it gets pretty close to the RiF experience. Not 1 for 1, but close enough for what I’m doing. I also put it in the spot RiF has been for 10 years 😞.
Omg I’m using this now and it’s awesome, thankyou!
I’ve been using Jerboa and it’s working out well. I’ve tried the connect for Lemmy app, but once I tried making a long comment and the text went behind my keypad and I couldn’t scroll, so I couldn’t see what I was typing. I’m always on the lookout for more apps and trying them out until I find one I really like. I’m looking forward to seeing Sync for Lemmy up in action.
Same, using jerboa
I’ve been using Liftoff as it’s the closest to how RIF felt to me. I was able to go in the settings and switch the posts to compact and have the font sizes smaller to get it as close to RIF as possible.
Liftoff works well for me. Not too dissimilar from rif
Thanks! Downloaded it but struggling to get sign in to work. Assuming it’s just the servers rn
It’s definitely heavily geared towards iOS design principles, but if you can get past that wefwef.app has been the most stable and smooth experience I’ve found, despite being a PWA and not a native app.
I don’t really like the apps, but if you want an app, you can add your main instance to homescreen and its essentially an app, just save your lemmy password in your browser and its no different from an app.
Think I’ll do that, the web version is working nicely!
I’m really liking liftoff. Tried a bunch but keep coming back to this one.
Connect for lemmy has worked better for me than jerboa, but that could also be me (barely) learning how to navigate.
There’s also the migration hugging everything to death to consider, but hug or no, connect for lemmy has worked quite well for me on Android!
I’ve tried a bunch and I think I’ve settled on Thunder. It feels the least buggy and looks nice.
I moved Connect for Lemmy into the same spot and moved RIF to the 2nd page.
I can’t bring myself to delete it yet, so that’s where it lives for now.
Had to just remove it from my phone entirely to not do it.
Deleted RiF and replaced the same spot on my homescreen with wefwef app.
I put Connect for Lemmy where my Baconreader was. It helps with the muscle memory bit.
I deleted RIF today, and downloaded Liftoff. It’s not perfect but maybe it will get better. If people wanted to shut off public discourse on social media like Farcebook/Reddit/Twit, then they succeeded.
seconding, liftoff is a p close approximation of the rif visual experience for lemmy it seems like.
Yes, but surprisingly my rig still works to see the homepage and saved my fav subs, just can’t logon to post or vote. So it’s still not the same.
I did see some posts about some how patching rif to a “vanced” version I wanna check out so I can keep tabs on other communities that are migrating while I continue transitioning over to lemmy
Where?
I just replaced it with Jerboa, although I keep going to wefwef nowadays since it’s such a good web app
Deleted it so links default to browser instead of a defunct app.
I went into the app settings and cleared the default links to achieve the same. Felt too sad to delete the app entirely :(
deleted by creator
I put the connect app where I had rif on my phone so I press that instead.
I do still get confused when it’s not rif.
I uninstalled all my reddit apps to avoid the habit or temptation. Fuck Steve Huffman.
I don’t have the heart to uninstall it yet. :(
Haven’t deleted it as it’s still working when not logged in. Only really used RiF for the NSFW subs anyway.
I keep it around so that when I click reddit links in Google they go to RIF instead of the dog shite mobile site. Can’t log in or comment though.
I hid it from the app drawer/list, so I can only get to it by searching or with a link.
I kept it for the same reason, but even that appears to not be working anymore
Well I haven’t noticed lol. Feel less and less reason to go back to reddit. Lemmy is pretty great.
Stealth (com.cosmos.unreddit) has a switch for web scraping mode, however reddit being left as only a really badly ran potemkin village gives the site an uneasy feeling
