And so say we all. Been a while since the Great Deredditing but is there any other app we can use for Lemmy that is closest to rif? Using Jerboa right now but theres still a lot to be wanted.

Second liftoff. Tried sync today and saw the "sponsored content" blocks and went right back to liftoff.

Same. Liftoff is good. Missing a few key features I'd really like. But the dev seems to be listening to feature requests so I'm hopeful

3rding liftoff. I am not sure how this is on other apps but I like being to browse multiple instances on their front page

Haven't seen any ads on Sync, but I've only been using it for like an hour or 2 now.

I couldn't stand the other apps for Lemmy. They felt too disjointed. Plus coming from Sync for Reddit, I just get the same look and feel that I'd been using for years, so there's a definite bias.

Apparently Boost came to Lemmy too, so might give that a go too.

I should clarify. I didn't see any ads, just the blank block that said "sponsored content" so I don't think it's fully implemented yet.

I get people saying you can pay to get rid of them, but I'll wait until it's fully implemented to decide who I stick with / give money to.

That's weird, cause for me, it looks like sync pro when I scroll, there's absolutely no ad spaces or anything. Wonder if it's a bug or something.

You can pay to remove the ads.

I've been enjoying Connect. It's much simpler than the other apps I've tried.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I've got Connect to look pretty similar to how I had RiF.

Was going to give Sync a try but after reading the terms I don't agree to the tracking for Google analytics and Amazon whilst Connect doesn't collect any data.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Lifeoff for sure

I installed Connect a couple of days ago and I really like it. Plenty of customization available and you can block instances.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've been jumping between Connect and Thunder. I like both to be closer to RiF than Jerboa, and I find Connect to be the best experience.

I've been spending sometime customizing sync for lemmy to get it close to rif. It's not rif but very close
