Hi! I just came over from rif, the app I had been using for the last 11 years to browse reddit. So because of the new API changes, rif having to shut down, and my stubborn loyalty to the devs at rif: I will let my reddit account sit in the ether to die in peace since the only app that I used that account on has now been snuffed out. The devs at rif recommended Lemmy so here I am saying hi, and to ask if you have any recommendations for an app to use for Lemmy? Thanks!
I’m also a RIF user. Currently using Liftoff and I’m very happy with it. I started with Jerboa but it became very unstable. When it gets fixed I might go back but for me it’s between Jerboa and Liftoff.
Jerboa and wefwef are both pretty RIF-like. Jerboa can be buggy sometimes and wefwef is a web app rather than a native app, though. I’ve also been trying out Connect for Lemmy and Liftoff.
I haven’t found an app that let’s me add new communities that haven’t been added to your instance yet, though. For that, I still have to use the web browser.
I’m waiting for Boost which was announced recently.
I too was an 11 year Redditor and deleted my account. Let’s see how this goes!
Jeroboa looks good but it wouldn’t let me log in. I tried thunder also but it was very slow. I’m using connect to lemmy right now which is working great! Boost for lemmy is coming out in a few weeks, check it out on the app store. The layout looks almost identical to rif so I can’t wait for that!
Hello! I suppose quite a lot of us are here because of rif’s recommendation. I’m using Jerboa transitioning from Rif.
I was RiF used for about 10 years.
I’m loving wefwef.app
Its super close to RiF and even has some features that are better.
I use WefWef atm because Jerboa doesn’t work for me. WefWef is a WebApp but it works best for me. Plus, the dev keeps updating his app very often.
I’ve been using Connect for Lemmy and it’s been pretty good so far. Definitely check it out!
I like Jeroboa the best, but it has been crashing a lot lately. Liftoff is what I’m using at the moment, and it is decent.
