…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.

Definitely deleted the app and put a Lemmy app in its place to keep that from happening.
Can I ask what app you use? Struggling to find the best one on Android
I’ve been using Jerboa and it’s working out well. I’ve tried the connect for Lemmy app, but once I tried making a long comment and the text went behind my keypad and I couldn’t scroll, so I couldn’t see what I was typing. I’m always on the lookout for more apps and trying them out until I find one I really like. I’m looking forward to seeing Sync for Lemmy up in action.
Same, using jerboa
Connect for Lemmy, turn on List View and the AMOLED theme and it gets pretty close to the RiF experience. Not 1 for 1, but close enough for what I’m doing. I also put it in the spot RiF has been for 10 years 😞.
Omg I’m using this now and it’s awesome, thankyou!
Liftoff works well for me. Not too dissimilar from rif
Thanks! Downloaded it but struggling to get sign in to work. Assuming it’s just the servers rn
I’ve tried a bunch and I think I’ve settled on Thunder. It feels the least buggy and looks nice.
I’ve been using Liftoff as it’s the closest to how RIF felt to me. I was able to go in the settings and switch the posts to compact and have the font sizes smaller to get it as close to RIF as possible.
I don’t really like the apps, but if you want an app, you can add your main instance to homescreen and its essentially an app, just save your lemmy password in your browser and its no different from an app.
Think I’ll do that, the web version is working nicely!
It’s definitely heavily geared towards iOS design principles, but if you can get past that wefwef.app has been the most stable and smooth experience I’ve found, despite being a PWA and not a native app.
I’m really liking liftoff. Tried a bunch but keep coming back to this one.
Connect for lemmy has worked better for me than jerboa, but that could also be me (barely) learning how to navigate.
There’s also the migration hugging everything to death to consider, but hug or no, connect for lemmy has worked quite well for me on Android!
I deleted it and filled that hole on my home screen with wefwef for now.
Honestly, not as much anymore. Transitioning to Lenny was quite smooth with Connect and it made me aware of the Fediverse, which is such a fascinating concept.
RIF will always have a place in me, and I have not, and will probably not delete it anytime soon. I don’t see it from the Playstore anymore, so all the more reason not to. Instead, like what I read somewhere here, I created an “Apps Graveyard” folder and placed it there, keeping me far from unconsciously tapping on RIF for updates.
It will probably take some time.
No, I deleted it. Why would I keep something installed that served no purpose?

I deleted RIF today, and downloaded Liftoff. It’s not perfect but maybe it will get better. If people wanted to shut off public discourse on social media like Farcebook/Reddit/Twit, then they succeeded.
seconding, liftoff is a p close approximation of the rif visual experience for lemmy it seems like.
Had to just remove it from my phone entirely to not do it.
Lol yeah, every morning.
Im currently using the wefwef web app and its pretty good. Going to wait for Sync for Lemmy or for Artemis.
You will find a replacement, dont worry!
Yes :(
Apollo for me, but yes. I don’t have the heart to delete it, but I have opened it a couple of times though habit and muscle memory alone!
Revanced manager can make it work again with a little effort on your part. I did it with Sync for reddit, but I still don’t use reddit as much as before. It just doesn’t very feel good anymore, so I just occasionally browse reddit through Sync now. Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy!
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 am keeping Bacon Reader, a bit sentimental about it. Had it about 12 years. Using liftoff for Lemmy now. Doesn’t compare to BR, but It’ll do.
