...but I don't want to get rid of it! Been using RIF since 2011 and it'd feel so weird to take it off my home screen. I tried the Reddit app but it pollutes the front page with so much unnecessary shit that it becomes a chore to browse. Liking the look of Lemmy so far though.

Just removed sync and added connect to the same spot today ... But when sync for Lemmy shows up, I'm gonna use that

I put the app into a box with lemmy apps and it breaks my heart. It's an app I have used countlessly many times.

I did this with apollo a few times, but changed the icon to reset my eye/muscle memory. Going to leave it for a while during the mourning period

No, I think a clean separation works best. Over the last month, I've cut my Reddit use down from probably a few hours a day to maybe 2-3 minutes a day just to read up on sports news, and I only do that via old.reddit with RES. The time I used to spend looking at RIF has now been reallocated to reading e-books and getting out of bed in a timely manner.

However, on my phone I have left the space empty where the RIF icon used to be. o7.

Was a sad day when I had to uninstall Sync. Maybe I'll try the re-pack you can do to use your own API key

It still works - sort of. I can browse reddit without signing in. So I haven't yet deleted it yet. I'm planning to install a vanced version over the coming weekend. Hopefully that will work, I've never done anything like it before.

Nope.

I launched it once on July first and then deleted it. No reason it keep a non-functional app installed.

Had a lot of fun with RIF, but all good things must come to and end.

I hope KIF comes out someday.

RiF developer said he's working on another app but it will be for Tildes

I keep doing this with Apollo. I'm waiting for the Artemis to get a beta release to replace its spot on my home screen.

I've found that the "Chrome app" version of kbin is actually pretty decent. I don't know what the term is, visit kbin.social using Chrome on your phone and it will offer to "install" a shortcut that you can use as an app while waiting for Artemis. At least, that worked for me on Android.

The app still works for me but maybe that's because I'm not using any user login and am just using it to read a couple of subs that haven't migrated yet.
