Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Hi! I just came over from rif, the app I had been using for the last 11 years to browse reddit. So because of the new API changes, rif having to shut down, and my stubborn loyalty to the devs at rif: I will let my reddit account sit in the ether to die in peace since the only app that I used that account on has now been snuffed out. The devs at rif recommended Lemmy so here I am saying hi, and to ask if you have any recommendations for an app to use for Lemmy? Thanks!

I'm waiting for Boost which was announced recently.

Hello! I suppose quite a lot of us are here because of rif's recommendation. I'm using Jerboa transitioning from Rif.

I was RiF used for about 10 years.

I'm loving wefwef.app

Its super close to RiF and even has some features that are better.

Wefwef looks too much like the ios settings ui for me feels wrong to use it on an android I've been using jeroboa though and it's almost the same as rif with a few quality of life updates like thread colours I haven't had any issues with it crashing tho so I might just be lucky

I'm also a RIF user. Currently using Liftoff and I'm very happy with it. I started with Jerboa but it became very unstable. When it gets fixed I might go back but for me it's between Jerboa and Liftoff.

[–] InisSieferI@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Jerboa and wefwef are both pretty RIF-like. Jerboa can be buggy sometimes and wefwef is a web app rather than a native app, though. I've also been trying out Connect for Lemmy and Liftoff.

I haven't found an app that let's me add new communities that haven't been added to your instance yet, though. For that, I still have to use the web browser.

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I like Jeroboa the best, but it has been crashing a lot lately. Liftoff is what I'm using at the moment, and it is decent.

[–] DeaLikesTrains@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I use WefWef atm because Jerboa doesn't work for me. WefWef is a WebApp but it works best for me. Plus, the dev keeps updating his app very often.

[–] Angelus1727@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Jeroboa looks good but it wouldn't let me log in. I tried thunder also but it was very slow. I'm using connect to lemmy right now which is working great! Boost for lemmy is coming out in a few weeks, check it out on the app store. The layout looks almost identical to rif so I can't wait for that!

[–] cshock@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I too was an 11 year Redditor and deleted my account. Let's see how this goes!

I've been using Connect for Lemmy and it's been pretty good so far. Definitely check it out!
