Hi guys, what's the most similar lemmy app compared to RiF?
Wefwef is really slick, but keep in mind that all apps are still early in development.
I checked out Wefwef and the format looks pretty good! I'm excited to see where it will end up.
Wefwef is one of the smoothest ones I've used so far! Lacks some features, but seems to be a lot more stable and usable than some others. I also like how simple the UI is, like how RIF had a sort of "bare bones" look to it. I've heard Liftoff is gaining traction tho as well.
I used baconit on windows phone 7 and RiF as an early adopter. I can handle new apps 😅
Whoa, someone who actually had a Windows phone? You're like a unicorn!
Yeah, and i still think the UI to this day was one of the best, if only they had actually developed it further... Phones were snappy AF, battery life was awesome, and they had so many features that were only implemented by android YEARS later.
This is why I'm not in a huge rush to move away from Jerboa. If there's a clear frontrunner, I may switch, but I'm not switching every time there's a two day outage while waiting on patches. They're all gonna hit speed bumps as the userbase grows until everything settles out.
It’s basically a clone of Apollo. So def a winner.
I'm currently using Connect for Lemmy from the Play Store. Not the same feel as RiF but it is very simplistic in nature yet still feature-rich, which counts in my book!
I just clicked a link to WefWef, and am trying it right now on a desktop. Feels so mobiley, and superintuitive.
Changed a few settings (text size, compact) and this would be a worthy replacement, but just not 100% yet.
I tend to agree, I've actually stopped using Connect for now and am trying Liftoff and Wefwef, both I think feel more compact and lightweight which is a big reason I used rif in the first place. No bloat.
Only thing I don't like about wefwef is that it feels too much like an iOS app, which uhh I guess it was made for iPhone so that makes sense haha. After changing the display settings in Liftoff it feels much better to use than Connect.
