There seems to be many lemmy apps available. I already tried few apps though I don’t even know where to find most of the others. Instead of trying every single one of them I’d like to know if there’s anything similar to RIF. Here’s some key features of RIF:
- Simple. Mostly text and no complicated UI elements.
- Information density. I can see a list of eight posts on my screen. Again, it’s just text with no UI decorations.
- One handed browsing. As I hold my phone with right hand I can easily access both linked url and comments of a post with my right thumb (buttons on right side of the screen).
- Comment navigation. This is not as important but in larger threads it’s useful to navigate between parent comments.
If there’s nothing similar available, maybe these could be added to an existing implementation. I could even try to help as I am programmer, though I don’t know much about mobile app development.
As a former RIF addict, I found “Summit for Lemmy” a decent alternative.

I’m also coming from RIF and have found Jerboa alright after adjusting the “look and feel” settings to the more compact options. Clicking into comments requiring being more careful with where you tap is my main complaint.
I used RIF for years, and kind of hope the developer makes a Lemmy port to be honest. I’ve not tried many android apps yet, but Jerboa For Lemmy is pretty good so far.
Tried a few, Jerboa is sort of good but there are things you just have to figure out. Like I’m a user on my own Lemmy, and I can’t find my own instances? Does the search only search … well what actually? Also as I have my super user, another user, a user on beehaw etc (not very rational maybe) but you don’t know whith witch obe you are browsing.
Guess it’s just too, early so for now I’m sticking with Jerboa as it’s the official app.
Everything is great though, I’m just pointing out small inconveniences.
Thunder and liftoff seem to be rapidly moving to the front of the pack.
Can Thunder post comments yet?
Jerboa in List View is almost the same as RiF as far as functionality for me.
