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 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.
Wefwef looks too much like the ios settings ui for me feels wrong to use it on an android I’ve been using jeroboa though and it’s almost the same as rif with a few quality of life updates like thread colours I haven’t had any issues with it crashing tho so I might just be lucky
13 years Rif user here. I like Jerboa and Connect for Lemmy so far. Right now im using Connect
Sweet I’ll check those out, thank you!
Hello! I suppose quite a lot of us are here because of rif’s recommendation. I’m using Jerboa transitioning from Rif.
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!
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!
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.
You sent the comment 3 times, should probably delete the other two haha.
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!
I thought you had to be 13 to use Reddit hurhur
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.
Hey new guy, welcome! I was only a little over 2 years on reddit and my 3rd party app is actually still up (RedReader). Nevertheless, do I want to be part of a community that is so dominated by corporate interests? My personal answer is ‘not really’…

Currently I would recommend liftoff, also coming from rif.
i think liftoff is the most reddit looking for me, i do like Thunders look a lot but its buggy currently
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.
I too let my account sit in the RIF purgatory lol, I thought there weren’t any apps but theres already a couple to pick from on the play strore. People are fast
