Replaced RIF with Jerboa on my home screen; I can't say I won't miss it though, wish there was a "Lemmy is fun" already

Didn't know we had an app. The RiF developer is working on an app for Tildes, which bums me out, RiF was my weapon of choice.

I've only convinced one real life friend to become interested in reddit, I asked her if she'd heard about all the drama there, and found out she'd been using the official app all this time...she was super shocked when I told her the stories about peoples' phones heating up using that thing.

I'm still trying out Tildes now and then, but the lack of an app pretty much kills the experience for me at the moment. I feel like the Lemmy system is overall the superior option, but Tildes is still an interesting alternative from what I've seen so I'm excited to see what it looks like with an app.

I was going to join tildes until I saw a slew of posts talking about how they got permabanned for saying stuff like "I like tildes more than lemmy". Lol... what?

started using jerboa, but as it stands i found browsing in firefox on the mobile interface better

Agreed. Jerboa has a ways to go to catch up with the mobile web interface.

And they both have a long way to go to catch up to the likes of RIF.

In one of the subreddits, someone mentioned an effort to make a "Reddit API->Lemmy API bridge." Basically, you'd load this code and point your Reddit API calls to Lemmy instead. Then this bridge would translate your Reddit code to Lemmy. This could allow for apps like RIF, Boost, Apollo, etc to quickly turn their Reddit apps into Lemmy apps.

I hope this pans out. Jerboa isn't bad, but having many third party apps to choose from would be great. (As a Boost user, I'd love to load Boost and browse Lemmy instead of Reddit.)

If folks are on iOS, you can beta test the app "Mlem" by following the instructions here:

I like it!

I just downloaded it. I’m not sure how to log in though. I entered beehaw.org for the home page then Skyteck for username and added my password. Then it says could not connect to beehaw.org.

For me I want a LemReader a Lemmy version of RedReader.

The RedReader developer (QuantumBadger) said they'd like to make it a more general reader app and include support for RSS and Lemmy. It would take a while to to it though. They would have to abstract a lot of the Reddit specific code.

I hope they do it, it's a really nice app.

I was using joey. Joey for lemmy sounds pretty weird.

Same. We need better Lemmy apps

Jeroba is great and open source (and free)! Rather than "better Lemmy apps" why not just improve the one that already exists?

Did the same this morning but with Boost. End of an era, really

Jerboa is a pretty nice app overall already. I use an iPhone as my main device, and Mlem is very incomplete at this stage (but it’s quite new). I loaded up Jerboa on a Pixel, though l, and was very impressed. Jerboa is far more polished…shame it’s Android only

I've done the same. I miss RiF but I have to say, jerboa is nicer than expected. The main thing that gets me is that tapping on a comment hides it, I'm used to just selecting it to upvote lol
