I was also confused by this and resigned to not using it because I’m a silly goose who doesn’t understand what a web app is… but then saw someone link to the wefwef website, figured I’d give it a shot, and turned out it’s surprisingly simple. Just go to the link below, download, and now there’s an app on my home page for wefwef. I don’t know the difference between it and my other “normal” apps, but it does seem to work! Lol
The only thing I’d change about Connect is the visability of comment interaction buttons but other than that with a few tweaks to font sizes and stuff it’s a fairly similar experience to RIF.
It’s overall pretty good so far but I find that the swipe interactions with comments and posts can be a bit clunky. I frequently will swipe too far and accidentally save a comment when I just want to upvote. I’m still so used to Sync though.
As a former RIF user, I personally like Liftoff, which you can get in the Play Store, but other popular options are Jerboa, Thunder, Connect for Lemmy, wefwef, and Summit.
Any prior RIF users with some advice for which app to switch to for Lemmy that’s the most similar?
Check out WefWef for Lemmy
Is this an android app? Cause I couldn’t find it on any app store lol
It’s a web app at http://wefwef.app
Yup, but you have to get it through TestFlight right now. It’s going to be on the App Store soon though.
Here’s a link to the Memmy TestFlight page.

It’s a web app. Just search for it on Google, that’s how I found it.

It’s a web app, so https://wefwef.app
I’m using it and it is the closest thing to apollo on my phone. just added to home screen!
Ditto! Feels familiar and I like it.
Just started using it myself. Feels surprisingly like Apollo so far.
The developer of Sync is porting it to Lemmy. The initial release should happen in the next 6 weeks.
Yes, I’m SO exited for the Sync for Lemmy app!! Today was a sad day.

I’m using Connect for Lemmy and so far it’s fairly good.

I’m liking connected too. Haven’t tried anything else, but haven’t felt like needed to either.

I’ll second Wefwef. It’s pretty slick.

I second this. It honestly feels like an iOS app.
Jerboa for Lemmy works pretty well for me. It’s a little rough around the edges but you can’t beat the low price of free.
Connect for Lemmy, so far so good
Seconding Connect. Only been using it for the past 24hrs and the UI is equally as minimalist with some new idiosyncrasies to get used to.
3rding this. I absolutely love Connect.

Connect is GOAT. Only thing I need is custom font size then it would be perfect, at the moment it’s either too big or too small.
Tried a few of these apps so far. Connect is really nice! It seems really snappy, and got it mostly working just like how I’d had RIF setup before.
I am using Liftoff, it’s not finished yet but I like the UI
connect and liftoff

I hope so… I love boost.
