I've been using an app called Connect for Lemmy. It's definitely better than the Reddit app, but I would like to find something more similar to RIF.
Giving myself some time to get comfortable with this, and probably start experimenting with other apps.
I've been using Connect as well and love it. All the UI customization options allowed me to make it look and feel very much like RiF. Plus the developer is very active and updates it frequently.
I'll have to dig deeper on the customization I guess. Thanks for mentioning that.
Just to second the above, I've also found the transition between rif and Connect to be okay. Things like a amoled theme and reverse list display have it feeling very similar to me. There's still plenty of differences of course. One little thing I'm realising I'm missing is not being able to see the domain of a link post before pressing it.
I changed the options a bit and I think it's nearly perfect. I appreciate the suggestions!
Update the app! They just added the link confirmation box that RIF had :) I was missing it, too.
Ooh, great! Thanks for letting me know :)
I downloaded "jerboa" which is modeled after RIF I think. Lemmy is pretty good so far but doesn't have as much content and the app is a bit slower than RIF.
I'm hopeful that it grows into a good replacement. It's certainly off to a good start. There's a starwars memes page though like I said it has a lot less content.
thunder is a really good app imo as a rifeugee
I'll use my first Lemmy post to agree with you and say I also miss RIF :-(
The lotr memes community is pretty active, actually, it's one of my favorites here. Not sure about prequel memes.
If you haven't heard this already, check out the various apps that are available for Lemmy, they improve the experience greatly.
Liftoff for Lemmy has been a pretty substitute for rif. Though I do miss my doom scrolling and I feel listless in these times of loss
You can sign out and still use reddit on rif. I use it for a couple of niche subs that haven't and most likely won't migrate. 😬
Like others said I'm also using Liftoff and switch over to jerboa every now and then. Not exactly rif but they feel nice. I really wish rif was ported for lemmy.
Ugh yeah the official app for Reddit is so bad... I went from using RIF every time I had any time to spare to maybe opening Reddit once a day for a few minutes.
u/talklittle is supposedly porting rif for tildes. Stay tuned.
rif was one of the reasons I stuck with android lol.....It was probably my most used app. Probably borderline phone addiction due to it lmao.
