Another former RiF user here. Definitely miss the experience of using that app, and Lemmy is certainly new to me. Gonna take some getting used to but it will be interesting to hopefully see this place grow!
Going from RIF to Connect for Lemmy feels like a fever dream at times. Still can't believe RIF is really gone. Anyway Lemmy seems cool, I'm liking it so far.
I was a RIF user for 8 years, and now I'm here. Fuck Spez.
Hi all. Fuck Spez, onwards we march
After 13 years on Reddit, mostly consumed through RIF and old.reddit, this is now my "frontpage of the internet".
Same here bud. 12 years and now we start again
Rip rif. Bring on the new frontier.
first day on Lemmy. redditor for 15 years, RIF user for a good chunk of that.
RIF was the primary way I consumed Reddit. Killing it was a dumb move.
Me too. Sucks to see if go, but heres to new beginnings
Same and I agree that reddit pushing off all 3rd party apps was a bad decision. I keep automatically opening the app before remembering it's not going to work. Gonna take some time to get used to just using lemmy
If you're using a browser on your phone, you may be able to create an icon for getting into Lemmy directly and sticking it where RIF was.
Same. 10 years or RIF. This seems like a cozy place!
Legit. I've only had positive interactions since being here. The last few years on rif positive interactions were becoming few and far between.
So... are there any apps like rif is fun for lemmy?
My experience,
Summit is the closest. It feels the best to me. But it's barebones and has some hiccups. I had a comment post 14 times this morning. I have high hopes for this one though.
Connect seems the most stable and works well.
Jerboa and Liftoff both work well when they're working. But they've had some bugs and I prefer Connect to them at this point.
My recommendation is to use Connect until you get Lemmy figured out. Then try them all out.
I'm using the wefwef.app for a bit today and I like it. Feels very close to RIF, yet you still are aware of the difference. One detail I like is auto-dark mode, and that comments and subsequent replies use colors to show thread height.
I am testing out Jerboa, got a similar feel but missing a few creature comforts. Seems the developer is really working to update and smooth the roughness in the last month so I'm optimistic long term. I'd give it a try!
Jerboa straight up won't work for me (server version issue?). I figure I'll just use the browser for a while and see what apps float to the top after the reddit exodus inspires more apps.
I gave jerboa a soft try but wasn't thrilled with it. Hoping sync will be a good option when that becomes available.
Former RIF user. I tried jeroba but then switched to Connect for Lemmy. Jeroba didn't quite feel right to me. So far I'm enjoying the UI of Connect.
Using Jerboa rn. Scrolling feels a bit clunky.
RiF user since 2011. I'm now trying replacement apps for Lemmy. Liftoff and Jerboa look pretty good. Am trying Connect for Lemmy, but it looks super buggy right now.
Do you guys recommend any other app to browse Lemmy from the Google Play Store?
The app store apps are a little janky still or now. I just started using wefwef.app (it's a pwa. Just put wefwef.app in your browser) and it's been the best so far. It's a recreation of alien blue for iOS.
I'm here as well. I loved the design and feel of RIF.
Hi everybody. Make sure to actually start posting and commenting in other communities. I've seen so many posts about coming here from Reddit which is fine. But we can't keep posting about only that.
Does anyone have a good Lemmy App? I have tried Connect and it is okay, but it is no RIF.
I'm on android and using jerboa. It's pretty similar to rif and I like it well enough so far
I wasn't able to log into it yesterday. Have you had any issues with that?
I have that same issue.
Likewise. This is my first comment here. I hope to make a bunch more. Getting off of reddit is very refreshing.
RIF was the app that I used when I decided to go deeper into Reddit. Been using it for the past 7 years until today. You will be missed.
Hello, fellower RIF users.
Time to see what this place has. Kinda like moving into a new house.
