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 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.
Seconded
The developer of Sync for Reddit is working on a Lemmy port, and hopes to have early access ready in a few more days.

I’m waiting for Sync for Lemmy. I was actually pretty well settled in Squabbles, but when I heard that the dev for Sync for Reddit was making a Lemmy app, I had to jump over here and give it a shot. His design was THAT good.
I assume Sync will be my go-to, but I’m going to give Artemis a try once it’s released. Currently using Connect, I just really miss some key features like swiping and jumping to top comments.
I’m using Connect for Lemmy at the moment and I used RIF for 9 years.
I’m a former RIF user. Honestly, I recommend just downloading as many as you can to see which one you like best. I did that, and I ended up liking Liftoff the most, but you may have liked RIF for different reasons than I did.
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.
