I've tried a few but none give me the same super functional feeling RIF gave me. Jerboa isn't bad which is what I'm using now but I'd like something a little closer to RIF. Any suggestions?

I like this a lot I just wish it was an actual app and not something I have to go into a browser for. If it gets ported onto the play store or something I'd consider it.

You can install the PWA and it’ll be exactly like an app

How does this work on Android? I already tried this before and it did nothing.

Edit: Nevermind I tried it on chrome and it worked. Firefox wasn't working.

What browser are you using? Installing it from the settings tab in wef wef should create a home screen app under most circumstances. But if you are trying to install it using using an obscure internet browser, it might not work. I use Brave and it worked just fine. It should also work with Chrome and Firefox.

You don't need to use either of these browsers as your default...you just need to have one of them installed on your phone to navigate to the website and install the app.

I figured it out. Just had to use chrome.

This is pretty nice. Never used Apollo but its solid. I still want my RIF fix more!

So I think with some fiddling with the settings, Thunder ends up looking closer to RIF than wefwef, but it's too buggy for me.

You can open your browser menu when in wefwef and press "install" to install it like a native app. I'm a RiF user in exile and Connect for Lemmy with list view and the AMOLED theme hits pretty similar notes as RiF, its my main driver right now.
