RIF clan, represent!
I haven't tried them all, but I've been using Boost. What app are you using to recreate that RIF feel?
Jerboa hits that minimalist sweet spot for me.
I started using Summit and it was good enough that I stuck with it.
I feel like Summit is one of the most underrated apps. It's been solid all around and steadily improving since the start.
I've found Thunder to be a great replacement with some modern, gesture and UX friendly enhancements. Raccoon for Lemmy is pure magic and I highly recommend it as well, but the UX and UI are more modern and has less of that RIF, old-school forum thread scroller vibe.
Connect for Lemmy on my Android phone has worked great! The interface is almost, but not quite, 1:1 with RIF.
It was pretty buggy at launch, but here we are about a year out, and I'm not sure if I remember the what/when the last bug I encountered was. That is to say, the devs for connect are on top of stuff with regular updates which is nice.
I tried connect first, but maybe that's when it was buggy, because I switched to Boost. I guess there's nothing wrong with Boost, but sometimes it gets weird interacting with embedded pics and unusual text.
