Hey! This post is not specifically related to the lemmy.world instance. From now on, posts such as these will be removed, in order for the community to stay on topic. However, as this is a highly upvoted post, I’ll just lock it for now.
RiF golden platinum for me.
But the dev of RiF says he intends to make a Lemmy is Fun app once RiF shuts down, so at least it’s not a bad thing after all.
It should be called “Lemmy is more fun”
Lemmy is Funny
I think this is what Lemmy and other Fediverse sites need - a really good mobile app. once that happens, I think Lemmy, kbin, etc will start really attracting users.
ngl Jerboa isn’t that bad.
It got much better with the two recent updates. Images still sometimes spaz out when you scroll, and for whatever reason searching for communities doesn’t seem to work right. But for reading, commenting, etc it’s totally usable.

Where did you see that? It seems that he wanted to do a Tildes app, he talked about Lemmy?
I’m enjoying jerboa, but I would totally pay for the RiF premium experience. It kept me happy for so many years. Hope for both to succeed.
I uninstalled Slide For Reddit and put jerboa in the same place
I haven’t seen many people that used slide. That was my go to on android.
I am truly hoping Christian or u/lupeski come here and show their awesome talent off in the Fediverse!
Apollo for lemmy would be great, and it wouldn’t be too hard for Christian to rewrite it to work with lemmy. Heck, people have written proxies which proxy the reddit oauth API to lemmy, so it would be as easy as running one of those proxies and replacing a URL, really.
The difference in data models and APIs, combined with the amount of features Apollo supported would likely make it a fairly large task.
But that aside, he mentioned in an article recently that he doesn’t have an appetite to pivot the app towards Lemmy or another third party: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759180/reddit-protest-private-apollo-christian-selig-subreddit
That’s over simplified. Even if they change the data source. Lemmy and reddit have different data structures and the UI would also have to be modified
I had to remove the Joey app from my home screen and replace it with the Jerboa app (as in, put it in the same spot) because I kept accidentally opening Joey. -.-

Yeah, Joey was perfect. It felt sad when they sent the little survey to ask if people would pay a subscription to use the app and I was like … No, but not because of you, because of them.
I still have joey on mine as a reminder of the shitshow that is reddit. I haven’t touched it once since switching as I have been going to jeroba so often it’s already a reflex lol! Joey didn’t do anything wrong. I will always keep the app, never use it again, but keep it because it’s mine and I bought that freaking thing.
I know what you mean! I know it’s gonna be gone soon yet I don’t think I’m going to want to delete it. I bought it,I enjoyed it, and if all of this mess had not happened I would still continue to use and enjoy it. Sigh. :-\
Oh man I love Joey. So good!
I loved the Joey App 😒
Yeah, I had the same issue. Maybe, just maybe, I had a small addiction and Lemmy does not help too much with that.
Yeah, I always like to check Reddit just before I go to sleep, to get sleepy, or when I can’t sleep. Or when I’m waiting for something and there’s nothing else to do to pass the time at that moment. So I’ll automatically open Joey and…well, I guess that’s the end of that.
It was so good and very few people knew about it, sad :(
I think it was just one developer doing all the work too
Didn’t Reddit acquire Alien Blue and make it into the official app?
And absolutely ruined it, of course
Yea I remember at first everyone was so excited and then they decided to absolutely destroy what made that app good.
yes
Add Sync for Reddit to that list :(
It perfect. I will wait sync for lemmy
Really hope LJ goes on and makes the app for this!
Jerboa is a nice replacement for now, but I love the way sync was set up. That said, with time Jerboa could become feature rich. And options is key!
Agreed! We can all only go up from here!
There’s not even a hide read option in the Official Redit app. Fk u reddit
Yep that’s one of my most wanted features from the lemmy app
Lemmy has this feature
On jerboa?
Yes look account setting
Account settings
I’m gonna check and see if it’s on jeroba, if not hope they add it.
It is
I managed to get Apollo working with my own API key using a tweak and Sideloadly (works on jailed phones too)
We’ll see if that continues working after 30th, if not I think I’m pretty much done with Reddit
It will, but they’ll probably start sending you invoices for whatever requests you make.
Well, they’ve said 100 requests per minute is under the free tier, since I’m the only user with my API key that should be within their limits.
RIF RIP
Personally a Reddit is Fun user, but sad to see them all go…
I’m also a rif user. Best thing was have my face subs and get notifications on new post so I don’t have to interact with reddit as much. See the post. Comment upvote read send boom in good. Lenny is awesome now
Still need that alert function on the app.
Although all this immature development is making me consider taking a stab at programming Social Networks again. Last effort was an app back in College to collate facebook, twitter, reddit, etc into one interface. Very clunky, held together by proverbial tape and crashed when there were non latin characters input. Still, that was fun.
It’s really sad, but it’s also super exciting to be a part of something new! All of this reminds me of the old school internet with competitors and communities popping up here and there.
I didn’t realize how toxic and hostile Reddit actually was until I stopped using it and started interacting with the folks on here. I just hope it sticks around
More new apps will eventually come
I have been using Infinity, which somehow is NOT planning on shutting down?? Yeah, I don’t see how that’s gonna work. Doesn’t matter, Reddit under Spaz is dead to me now.
Ive heard some rumors that it is possible to fake the app ID and/or useragent to make reddit servers think youre using their app.
I hope he will try that route just to fuck with them.
Sounds like a short term solution, but it’s worth it just to cause Spaz some grief.
I’ll miss Infinity. Jerboa just isn’t ad intuitive as Infinity, as nice as it is.
Yeah, I used Infinity too. Deleted my reddit account yesterday and uninstalled Infinity today.
I hope the Infinity developer finds a job…
This makes me sad, I really liked Apollo :(
Now show me app hell
>its just the base reddit app
And my bank’s app.
Has anyone tried Mlem yet, specifically with this server? Refuses to connect for me.
I use it with lemmy.world. Its promising, it still has a lot of crashes and some kinks that need to be ironed out and there are many features missing, but IIRC the team intends to come out with the 1.0 version by the time 3rd party apps shut down. That will probably feel more stable. Its looking good!!
Hasn’t been working for me either. Just says I logged in, then that it can’t connect.
