I landed here after RIF stopped working on my device and followed RIF link. This will be my new place to find content and see aggregation. Here it is to the end of reddit that starts today! 🍻

So... are there any apps like rif is fun for lemmy?

[–] AwakenedFinn@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am testing out Jerboa, got a similar feel but missing a few creature comforts. Seems the developer is really working to update and smooth the roughness in the last month so I'm optimistic long term. I'd give it a try!

Jerboa straight up won't work for me (server version issue?). I figure I'll just use the browser for a while and see what apps float to the top after the reddit exodus inspires more apps.

I had the same issue, I think it is a server version issue. I started using Connect which has been working well so far, although there are some UI quirks I had to get used to.

I've been using Liftoff been working really well and I like the design. Reminds me of the RIF feel.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

I'll check it out!

I'm using the wefwef.app for a bit today and I like it. Feels very close to RIF, yet you still are aware of the difference. One detail I like is auto-dark mode, and that comments and subsequent replies use colors to show thread height.

My experience,

Summit is the closest. It feels the best to me. But it's barebones and has some hiccups. I had a comment post 14 times this morning. I have high hopes for this one though.

Connect seems the most stable and works well.

Jerboa and Liftoff both work well when they're working. But they've had some bugs and I prefer Connect to them at this point.

My recommendation is to use Connect until you get Lemmy figured out. Then try them all out.

Former RIF user. I tried jeroba but then switched to Connect for Lemmy. Jeroba didn't quite feel right to me. So far I'm enjoying the UI of Connect.

[–] Pirky@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

As another RIF user who tried Jerboa, I agree with what you said. But I'm just too lazy to try something else as this is still decent enough for me.
I may look into Connect if I still feel unsatisfied with Jerboa.

[–] Poeticbiscuit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Using Jerboa rn. Scrolling feels a bit clunky.

[–] Indie@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Using connect and it has a very similar feel.

I did a search for wepwep, but nothing showed up for me in Google play store?

[–] Buzzz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I gave jerboa a soft try but wasn't thrilled with it. Hoping sync will be a good option when that becomes available.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You can give Liftoff a try

[–] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 1 year ago

There's Connect, I also really like Thunder. Though I'm not using it currently as it hasn't got 2FA support yet.

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Connect is pretty damn close, and in some ways even better
