I’ve tried a few but none give me the same super functional feeling RIF gave me. Jerboa isn’t bad which is what I’m using now but I’d like something a little closer to RIF. Any suggestions?

    Have you checked out wefwef.app? It’s a browser based app (type it into your browser and then add it as an “app” on your homescreen), which I don’t normally like, but it functions fairly well. It doesn’t quite look like RIF and instead has more of an iOS look to it…but it is also more “bare bones” in appearance than other Lemmy apps seem to be. So it’s simple look reminds me of RIF in a way.

    So far I’ve only tried out a few apps tho personally. I’m still hunting for my daily driver as well.

    Edit: It does have some missing functionalities but the devs seem quick to add new features

      Seconded wefwef.app. Super cool that it’s a PWA. I was both a big time RiF and Apollo user and this definitely scratches that itch

      I like this a lot I just wish it was an actual app and not something I have to go into a browser for. If it gets ported onto the play store or something I’d consider it.

          How does this work on Android? I already tried this before and it did nothing.

          Edit: Nevermind I tried it on chrome and it worked. Firefox wasn’t working.

            What browser are you using? Installing it from the settings tab in wef wef should create a home screen app under most circumstances. But if you are trying to install it using using an obscure internet browser, it might not work. I use Brave and it worked just fine. It should also work with Chrome and Firefox.

            You don’t need to use either of these browsers as your default…you just need to have one of them installed on your phone to navigate to the website and install the app.

        You can open your browser menu when in wefwef and press “install” to install it like a native app. I’m a RiF user in exile and Connect for Lemmy with list view and the AMOLED theme hits pretty similar notes as RiF, its my main driver right now.

      Tried liftoff earlier but it seems to lock me out of certain instances I know aren’t defederated. Otherwise I’d like it. Maybe I’ll try it again when it’s got some more dev time.

      Agreed, the ability to seamlessly switch between which instance you’re viewing from and which account to use is really cool. It makes me wish I had a desktop client with that option (which probably exists honestly, I’m just not aware of one)

    I’m using Connect for Lemmy right now. While it has a card node, you can switch to list.

    It’'s still not a perfect equivalent, but it kinda… gets close, I guess? 🤷

      Yeah, it’s not perfect but it’s close enough that I’m happy with it until Sync and/or Boost releases. I’d love for the rif dev to make a lemmy app, but I guess they’re throwing their weight behind tildes instead.

    I’m using Jerboa as well for now. I’d say we’ll have to wait a month or so before the dev’s who had Reddit apps move to Lemmy. I know the devs of “Sync for Reddit” and “Boost for Reddit” are making Lemmy versions of their apps so fingers crossed more devs follow suit!

    There’s several clients in the works - I’ll be looking at Sync for Lemmy, as I was a customer of Sync for Reddit.

      Same. Sync takes up entirely too much real estate in my muscle memory and it really fucks with me to use Jerboa. Hopefully the dev can get that MVP out the door by the end of the month~ not looking forward to purchasing it again though considering I’m broke and have no digital money 😞

    I tried Jerboa and Connect but having most success with wefwef. They all work fine but wefwef just feels most familiar.

      What is the difference between Jerboa and wefwef? I have seen wef been suggested a lot and like most people I don’t like change. So why would I want to switch to wefwef? Is it more stable or something?

        It depends on what you have used before, it’s just down to personal preference. I used Apollo and RIF for years and wefwef looks and feels similar, so I find I’m focusing more on the content rather than the interface.

    I’m using Memmy at the moment. It was heavily inspired by Apollo for Reddit (which I used) so I’m happy enough. There are a couple issues still (it’s still hinder development) but as long as you ignore errors when posting and don’t try to resubmit it seems pretty stable to me.

        I poked through the code some. They have some instructions to build the code for Android but I didn’t see any built apks. They still have it marked as prerelease, so they may just be focusing on iOS for now.

    Slightly off-topic. I was a RIF user but switched to RedReader, which still works, and can be just as minimal.

    Thunder with compact view or Jerboa are the closest atm.

    Honestly Thunder has some really great features like swipe to upvote, but I’m missing things like one handed zoom, jump to parent comment, comment sorting, etc.

    It’s an alpha though, and the Dev is pretty active. I imagine it’ll get these things in time.

      I’ve installed Jebroa but it seems to be a bit fucky for me, (Pixel 6, GrapheneOS ROM which probably doesn’t help), hopefully it gets better with time. Gonna give thunder a go

    Echoing some other sentiments from here, I used RIF and am currently using wefwef.app. I’ve only tried a couple, but I like this one quite a bit. Just go to Settings > Install App
