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! 🍻
Does anyone have a good Lemmy App? I have tried Connect and it is okay, but it is no RIF.
I’m on android and using jerboa. It’s pretty similar to rif and I like it well enough so far
Likewise. This is my first comment here. I hope to make a bunch more. Getting off of reddit is very refreshing.
I wasn’t able to log into it yesterday. Have you had any issues with that?
It was buggy at first, so I switched to connect, but it wouldn’t load replies (hence me just now replying.) I think bugs are to be expected at first, and it’s just a matter of fiddling with various apps until you have the experience you are looking for
I have that same issue.
After 13 years on Reddit, mostly consumed through RIF and old.reddit, this is now my “frontpage of the internet”.
Same here bud. 12 years and now we start again
Just made my account too. RIP RIF, you were good to me.
Now I’m excited to see what this Lemmy.world is all about - does it have an app on the Play store?
There are several. Unfortunately, they are all in early alpha. Lemmy wasn’t quite ready for the mainstream, so the developers are scrambling a bit. That said, the improvements, even over just the last week or so, are impressive. Even if the apps are currently a bit threadbare and buggy still.
Jerboa is available on the app store. I’m personally using Thunder, though you need to download it from GitHub right now to use it. There are several more out there, but I’ve not played with them yet.
Ah that’s good there are things coming! Looking forward to what the devs can do.
I’ll keep a look out! Thanks.
So… are there any apps like rif is fun for lemmy?
Connect is pretty damn close, and in some ways even better
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.
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.
