Any luck with RIF or a similar app for Lemmy? Someone(s) develop that tool and Reddit is toast
Those are the ones that come to mind
RiF fanatic here. Neither mirrors directly. But Jerboa wasn't bad. And I find I like Connect the best.
Yeah former RIF user here too, and so far Connect is the best I've found
Give Liftoff a try
Try Summit. It feels pretty similar to RiF.
Schweet, ty!
Boost, Slide and Sync are all coming to Lemmy. Lots of other great apps, too, though - I've recently been using Thunder and Connect.
Here's a Lemmy Apps Directory with 27 apps for Lemmy.
I'm waiting for boost. Jerboa has been fine so far but I've used boost for almost a decade at this point, it's hard not to have all the quality of life that was built into that app.
Same goes for me and Sync. I'll buy the premium version again for Lemmy as soon as it's available
I used sync for a while before boost. Solid choice; I hope the dev gets a viable version up soon for you.
I'd happily buy Relay again if the dev remade it for Lemmy. Unfortunately it looks like that's not on the roadmap right now.
Been browsing in my browser while I wait for sync for Lemmy. Honestly the browser experience isn't terrible but I feel like an app will probably make the whole Lemmy experience smoother with transitioning between instances.
Can't wait for Sync
Is there a sub for the development of slide? I'd love to sub if they have one!
Lots of Lemmy apps already and more coming, but apps aren't going to turn the tide. Only content will do that. Until there are more subs here, the majority will remain hesitant to leave.
The migration from Digg (and /. beforehand) didn't happen overnight. Also subreddits didn't even appear until 2008. These things take time, and that's good. Lemmy is not ready for mass adoption, but it will be soon enough.
I came from RedditSync and the app developer LJ Dawson is making a Lemmy Client. I am using Connect for Lemmy right now

Jeroba is a good start instead of using a browser. It's probably gonna take a while to get it streamlined.
Unfortunately jerboa is not seeing a lot of love, being the "official" mobile client and all, it's devs are too busy working 24/7 on Lemmy instance server issues that began poping up on the Exodus. Connect for Lemmy is imho the best app right now.
Cool. I'll try that too. I haven't had any problems with Jeroba but it's good to have options.
There's actually several apps! Some of my top contenders are jerboa, liftoff, and summit.
Liftoff and summit are very similar to RiF, to me it's deciding what I like more. Liftoff UI is slightly more polished, but it's got some distracting bugs regarding upvotes. Summit feels more like the RiF replacement honestly, you can collapse comments by pressing a karot next to the username and it's more "fat finger" friendly.
Jerboa is also good, but it feels like a different experience. That may be a good thing if the goal is to kill your old RiF habits
So far wefwef has been my favorite. It's a web app and has to be downloaded through Safari or Chrome, but it was made by the developer of Apollo and is very similar the overall experience of using that. Liftoff is a close second.
Is wedged made by the same dev as Apollo? I thought it was someone new.
It is someone new. Wefwef is made by Alexander Harsing.
I second wefwef. Strikingly similar to Apollo and nearly as feature rich. I find it a bit less stable, and needing frequent updates. I haven’t watched as many videos and noticed some links fail to work (though that may have more to do with the fediverse).
You can install via Firefox also
RIF user for 13 years, currently using Liftoff which is really slick. Not exactly the same but it's close. Also liked jerboa but liftoff is my current lemmy app.
I tried Jerboa but it kept telling me to log in every 5 seconds so I got rid of it. Hopefully they get it working.
Check out Liftoff, it's my current primary and it's pretty sweet.
Thanks I'll give it a shot!
Check out Thunder! It's still a work in progress but it's my favorite so far.

I'm using Liftoff, and it's pretty good
