…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.
Deleted RiF and replaced the same spot on my homescreen with wefwef app.
No, I deleted it. Why would I keep something installed that served no purpose?

I’m still using it. When Reddit blocks access or you can’t view NSFW subs I’ll delete it.
Just removed sync and added connect to the same spot today … But when sync for Lemmy shows up, I’m gonna use that
Honestly, not as much anymore. Transitioning to Lenny was quite smooth with Connect and it made me aware of the Fediverse, which is such a fascinating concept.
RIF will always have a place in me, and I have not, and will probably not delete it anytime soon. I don’t see it from the Playstore anymore, so all the more reason not to. Instead, like what I read somewhere here, I created an “Apps Graveyard” folder and placed it there, keeping me far from unconsciously tapping on RIF for updates.
It will probably take some time.
I did this with apollo a few times, but changed the icon to reset my eye/muscle memory. Going to leave it for a while during the mourning period
I replaced it with Liftoff.
I put Connect for Lemmy where my Baconreader was. It helps with the muscle memory bit.
I put the app into a box with lemmy apps and it breaks my heart. It’s an app I have used countlessly many times.
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 did a send off to my RIF by listening to Pantera’s Walk, then deleted the app.
What did you say?
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
I’m really liking liftoff. Tried a bunch but keep coming back to this one.
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!
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
I’ve tried a bunch and I think I’ve settled on Thunder. It feels the least buggy and looks nice.
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
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 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.
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.
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 am keeping Bacon Reader, a bit sentimental about it. Had it about 12 years. Using liftoff for Lemmy now. Doesn’t compare to BR, but It’ll do.
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.
