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.
