I put Connect for Lemmy where my Baconreader was. It helps with the muscle memory bit.
Deleted RiF and replaced the same spot on my homescreen with wefwef app.
Yes, but surprisingly my rig still works to see the homepage and saved my fav subs, just can't logon to post or vote. So it's still not the same.
I did see some posts about some how patching rif to a "vanced" version I wanna check out so I can keep tabs on other communities that are migrating while I continue transitioning over to lemmy
Where?
I just replaced it with Jerboa, although I keep going to wefwef nowadays since it's such a good web app
Deleted it so links default to browser instead of a defunct app.
I went into the app settings and cleared the default links to achieve the same. Felt too sad to delete the app entirely :(
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
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!
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'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
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.
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'm really liking liftoff. Tried a bunch but keep coming back to this one.
I put the connect app where I had rif on my phone so I press that instead.
I do still get confused when it's not rif.
I keep it around so that when I click reddit links in Google they go to RIF instead of the dog shite mobile site. Can't log in or comment though.
I hid it from the app drawer/list, so I can only get to it by searching or with a link.
I kept it for the same reason, but even that appears to not be working anymore
Well I haven't noticed lol. Feel less and less reason to go back to reddit. Lemmy is pretty great.
Stealth (com.cosmos.unreddit) has a switch for web scraping mode, however reddit being left as only a really badly ran potemkin village gives the site an uneasy feeling
Keeping it around in case Reddit comes back to life... Or shuts down completely
Nope, because I deleted it. I see now it's not even listed on the play store.
If saner minds prevail, and it comes back, I'll reinstall it, but it doesn't look like that's happening soon.
I replaced it with Liftoff.
No, I deleted it. Why would I keep something installed that served no purpose?
I decided to test the ReVanced patch for using your own API key out of curiosity and it worked great so I've kinda just kept it. Still using it to check into a couple of small communities but otherwise coming here for my scrolling and headlines
I keep doing it. I only deleted it off my home screen today and now there's a "RiFt" on my screen :( I don't have the heart to uninstall it yet.
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!
I deleted it and filled that hole on my home screen with wefwef for now.
I un-installed it when the blackout started but I understand the feeling. I definitely use my phone less, probably am disconnected from some current events, but I'm trying to participate more here and in the fediverse in general.
Just removed sync and added connect to the same spot today ... But when sync for Lemmy shows up, I'm gonna use that
I did this with apollo a few times, but changed the icon to reset my eye/muscle memory. Going to leave it for a while during the mourning period
Lol yeah, every morning.
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.
I haven't had that problem. I uninstalled RIF when they announced the changes. I realized I didn't have the premium of RIF, so I bought that while I was at it. I have ended up on Reddit at times just checking in on the API ruckus specifically. However, Reddit as a corporation seems to have a proclivity for beef and thus has continued to convey the ruckus.
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.
The app still works for me but maybe that's because I'm not using any user login and am just using it to read a couple of subs that haven't migrated yet.
