    used RIF for 7 years, tried using the official app but RIF was just so much better. when i uninstalled it two weeks out of protest, it really felt like i had to say goodbye to an old friend. i do enjoy lemmy, but…

    I’m a RiF refugee too. Used it for almost a decade, now that it’s gone I find the official app to be very difficult to use.

    The Fediverse has been really cool and I’m glad I took the jump. I was apprehensive at first, but I’ve found Lemmy to be pretty fun so far!

    I know everyone has made the switch, but the ReVanced team have stolen the API keys out of the real Reddit app and have made patchers available for multiple Reddit apps including RiF.

    You’ll need a fresh copy of the APK and:

    Obviously NSFW is a no go but everything else should work.

      I setup Reddit Vanced just to follow a few niche topics that are hard to find elsewhere, but even with the patches it’s still a mess.

        There’s a reflection instance called lemmit.online that copy posts from subreddits. I’m using it to keep up with a few subreddits while I’m on holiday. When I get home I’ll setup communities on lemmy for them.
