Sbubbies are images in which the text of a logo has been cleanly edited to read something different.

We've altered our ruleset a bit from the subreddit, and these may change at short notice as we acclimate to Lemmy.

I mean jerboa seems pretty similar

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (4 children)

At present, Jerboa seems pretty buggy. At least for me.

I find Liftoff to be much, much better atm

Almost already recommendable to people upset about third party reddit apps; just needs to remove the need to know how instances work when registering.

[–] deweydecibel 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Liftoff is close but still a little buggy (to be expected). I appreciate the compact mode and option to take the curve off the corners.

But it's still not quite what I'm looking for from a RIF replacement. It's still too stylized and using "modern" design aesthetic with all it's wasted screen space and padding.

I like RIF for it's classic design. Simple, straightforward, compact.

I'm 100% with you, RiF was almost perfectly lean and efficient in how it presented things and nothing else is quite there. I like maximal info density and minimal UI, RiF really had the balance dialed in.

But it’s still not quite what I’m looking for from a RIF replacement. It’s still too stylized and using “modern” design aesthetic with all it’s wasted screen space and padding.

I said something similar in the Matrix channel for it and one of the devs said he's already working on making the "compact" design more compact.

Its still super early in its development. Im sure RiF had some bugs to work through when it was launching as well.

Im willing to use it, let it crash, and send in crash reports to help the dev make it better in the meantime (at least I hope thats what I am doing).

I couldn't even get it running but I'm using liftoff now and it feels good so far.

[–] LaunchesKayaks 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't had many issues with it. Apparently the latest update is buggy, but I haven't updated it

[–] Myriadblue 11 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Jerboa is very similar to me. Pretty much slotted that in on the spot that rif used to be and haven't skipped a beat.

[–] bemenaker 6 points 1 year ago

I've been using jeroba for last two weeks, and like it. I just installed connect for lemmy, and find it just feels smoother and slicker.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Agree on this, Jerboa has the settings to have each post take a minimal amount of space like I enjoyed on RIF

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just installed it. The interface is close enough that I haven't had to search for anything, which is great.

And I think I actually prefer Jerboa's text editor over RiF.

Edit: Aaaand it broke. It won't load anything but the local tab, silently failing back to it whenever I click on all or subscribed. I'm trying out Launch now. It seems to work decently well, but I don't like the UI as much. Also it doesn't appear to have any way to subscribe to remote communities that aren't already subscribed to by at least one person on your local instance, which is fairly annoying as someone who signed up on a fairly small instance.

It doesn't seem to work on my phone. It keep crashing. I haven't heard anyone else mention this problem, so it might just be my POS. Looking forward replacing RIF with something like this though

[–] Klear 1 points 1 year ago

Liftoff works well for me.

[–] Myriadblue 1 points 1 year ago

There's a current issue with lemmy.world being on an older version than Jerboa

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

RIF was almost perfect. I hope there's a kbin app that copies the style.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

https://github.com/talklittle/reddit-is-fun I wonder how bad the v1 version was? closed the source v2 and up and the recent one was v5. May be a decent basis for someone to pickup.

[–] deweydecibel 3 points 1 year ago

There's not much reason to try jerryrigging RIF to Lemmy, especially V1. We have no shortage of people willing to build an app for Lemmy from the ground up. What matters is the design philosophy that dev has. We just need one to want to make an RIF clone, and not something over-designed and "showy".
