I just woke up, opened the app out of habit, saw a 429 error, and uninstalled. There's an empty spot on my home screen now that I'll fill with LiftOff after a mourning period
Granted I used Sync and not RiF (though I initially used RiF from like 2013-2015), but it looks so weird seeing the green Liftoff logo on my home screen, which has been largely unchanged for the past 8 years since I started using Sync.
Jerboa with some minor tweaks in settings (list mode, amoled etc.) looks just like RIF for me. However the comments section is not accurate, but still does a pretty good job. Try it out.
Both Sync & RiF have patches available from the ReVanced team, they've taken the API keys from the official Reddit app and you can then inject them into Sync/RiF using:
https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager
Can you expand on this please, what is it, and what does it do?
Revanced is a tool some people made to patch apps. It was built to be a successor to vanced which was when basically they distributed modded adfree YouTube APKs. Google sent them a cease and desist, so they built a tool to mod apps yourself.
LiftOff? Eli5
It's a Lemmy app that I like. The standard web app version of Lemmy feels cluncky to me, and I like the presentation of LiftOff
One of the new Android apps, Jerboa & Liftoff are open source available on F-Droid. I'm using Connect for Lemmy available on the playstore and Boost will be available soon as well as a myriad of other apps
