Liftoff is close but still a little buggy (to be expected). I appreciate the compact mode and option to take the curve off the corners.
But it’s still not quite what I’m looking for from a RIF replacement. It’s still too stylized and using “modern” design aesthetic with all it’s wasted screen space and padding.
I like RIF for it’s classic design. Simple, straightforward, compact.

I said something similar in the Matrix channel for it and one of the devs said he’s already working on making the “compact” design more compact.
I just installed it. The interface is close enough that I haven’t had to search for anything, which is great.
And I think I actually prefer Jerboa’s text editor over RiF.
Edit: Aaaand it broke. It won’t load anything but the local tab, silently failing back to it whenever I click on all or subscribed. I’m trying out Launch now. It seems to work decently well, but I don’t like the UI as much. Also it doesn’t appear to have any way to subscribe to remote communities that aren’t already subscribed to by at least one person on your local instance, which is fairly annoying as someone who signed up on a fairly small instance.
It doesn’t seem to work on my phone. It keep crashing. I haven’t heard anyone else mention this problem, so it might just be my POS. Looking forward replacing RIF with something like this though
as a soon-to-be former user of RIF, i will certainly miss the simplistic design and the ease of use of the app. o7
Hopefully one of the 15+ apps in development for Lemmy/kbin will be similar.
I mean jerboa seems pretty similar
At present, Jerboa seems pretty buggy. At least for me.
I find Liftoff to be much, much better atm
Almost already recommendable to people upset about third party reddit apps; just needs to remove the need to know how instances work when registering.

I haven’t had many issues with it. Apparently the latest update is buggy, but I haven’t updated it
I couldn’t even get it running but I’m using liftoff now and it feels good so far.
Jerboa is very similar to me. Pretty much slotted that in on the spot that rif used to be and haven’t skipped a beat.
I’ve been using jeroba for last two weeks, and like it. I just installed connect for lemmy, and find it just feels smoother and slicker.

Agree on this, Jerboa has the settings to have each post take a minimal amount of space like I enjoyed on RIF

RIF was almost perfect. I hope there’s a kbin app that copies the style.
