Does anyone have a good Lemmy App? I have tried Connect and it is okay, but it is no RIF.

Didn't feel like waiting for the end, been here a few weeks now.
Just made my account too. RIP RIF, you were good to me.
Now I'm excited to see what this Lemmy.world is all about - does it have an app on the Play store?
If you don't mind.... can you let us know which app u end up using. I'm hoping to get one that is closest to the RIF app experience of yore
I think the apps will drastically improve in the next month so I'm just using a mobile browser until I see which one becomes the best. The mobile browser is already way better than reddit on a mobile browser so it's not bad.
Same. And your right, the browser for Lemmy right now is SO GOOD.
I've tried half a dozen on Android. wefwef and LiftOff are the best right now IMO

Same, glad to join. I am now realizing how much of a pain it is using old reddit on mobile, fuck that lol. Not touching the official app.
made an account here recently just to see what was up. I didn't mind reddit (albeit it was very clunky and slow, just not an ideal website for me, miss forums a lot) but lemmy seems like the best compromise. Can't wait to see where it goes from here
Is this and RIF style app for here?
Connect for lemmy is best android app from playstore. Liftoff and thunder are big contenders but you have to d/l an apk and install it. Sync is building a lemmy app but it will be a couple of weeks. Jeroba is the official but connect and the others are better.

Jerboa is very RiF like. Unfortunately if you use Lemmy.world it won't work until that instance updates. Currently on Connect for lemmy and it is ok.
I definitely miss Jerboa. But the past month has already brought so much chaos to my internet use. What's a little more?
It's working now!!
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.
I have no idea what I'm doing, but I made it here. I hope to understand instances and whether I need to create other accounts soon.
If you make an account on one instance, you can read and write on the others!

Ok
Not bad. They just need the page to stop automatically bumping posts down every 3 seconds and this site will be perfectly fine as a replacement
This is fixed now, they deployed 0.18

I'm proud to be done with reddit. I'm eagerly exploring my new addiction. I'm a lemon head.
Lemon head? Is that what we're called?
I can live with that.
For now, jerboa is a decent working alternative as an app for lemmy.
I'm using Connect. It's the only app I've foujd so far that has a list view which is pretty similar to RIF's.
I can't get logged in through Jerboa. It keeps saying my server is on too low of a version.
Same here.
Seems to be an update issue on the lemmy.world side. In the meantime I'm giving connect for lemmy a shot.
So far, so good.
