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! 🍻

Is this and RIF style app for here?

Connect for lemmy is best android app from playstore. Liftoff and thunder are big contenders but you have to d/l an apk and install it. Sync is building a lemmy app but it will be a couple of weeks. Jeroba is the official but connect and the others are better.

Liftoff is on the playstore, using it now from there :) Edit: Opps didn't see previous response untill I posted mine

Thanks, it wasn't there a couple of days ago when I looked. I'll install it today. I've only been in the federated world for around three weeks now.

Yah no worries still poking around for apps I like :) Good luck mate

Same, glad to join. I am now realizing how much of a pain it is using old reddit on mobile, fuck that lol. Not touching the official app.

[–] Pini0n@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I followed the link too. Didn't know about lemmy before RIF closed

made an account here recently just to see what was up. I didn't mind reddit (albeit it was very clunky and slow, just not an ideal website for me, miss forums a lot) but lemmy seems like the best compromise. Can't wait to see where it goes from here

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

Didn't feel like waiting for the end, been here a few weeks now.

Thank you! I'm so sad to see RiF go. I'm hopeful for a bright future.

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

RIF was the app that I used when I decided to go deeper into Reddit. Been using it for the past 7 years until today. You will be missed.

Hello, fellower RIF users.

Time to see what this place has. Kinda like moving into a new house.

[–] Phyzaks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Does anyone have a good Lemmy App? I have tried Connect and it is okay, but it is no RIF.

I'm proud to be done with reddit. I'm eagerly exploring my new addiction. I'm a lemon head.

For now, jerboa is a decent working alternative as an app for lemmy.

[–] Wilziac@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't get logged in through Jerboa. It keeps saying my server is on too low of a version.

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

Same here.

Seems to be an update issue on the lemmy.world side. In the meantime I'm giving connect for lemmy a shot.

So far, so good.
