Anyone else keep pressing the RIF app out of habit?

Definitely deleted the app and put a Lemmy app in its place to keep that from happening.

Can I ask what app you use? Struggling to find the best one on Android
- Connect for Lemmy, turn on List View and the AMOLED theme and it gets pretty close to the RiF experience. Not 1 for 1, but close enough for what I'm doing. I also put it in the spot RiF has been for 10 years 😞.
- I've been using Jerboa and it's working out well. I've tried the connect for Lemmy app, but once I tried making a long comment and the text went behind my keypad and I couldn't scroll, so I couldn't see what I was typing. I'm always on the lookout for more apps and trying them out until I find one I really like. I'm looking forward to seeing Sync for Lemmy up in action.
- I've been using Liftoff as it's the closest to how RIF felt to me. I was able to go in the settings and switch the posts to compact and have the font sizes smaller to get it as close to RIF as possible.
- Liftoff works well for me. Not too dissimilar from rif
- It's definitely heavily geared towards iOS design principles, but if you can get past that wefwef.app has been the most stable and smooth experience I've found, despite being a PWA and not a native app.
- I don't really like the apps, but if you want an app, you can add your main instance to homescreen and its essentially an app, just save your lemmy password in your browser and its no different from an app.
- I'm really liking liftoff. Tried a bunch but keep coming back to this one.
- Connect for lemmy has worked better for me than jerboa, but that could also be me (barely) learning how to navigate.
  
  There's also the migration hugging everything to death to consider, but hug or no, connect for lemmy has worked quite well for me on Android!
- I've tried a bunch and I think I've settled on Thunder. It feels the least buggy and looks nice.

I moved Connect for Lemmy into the same spot and moved RIF to the 2nd page.

I can't bring myself to delete it yet, so that's where it lives for now.

Had to just remove it from my phone entirely to not do it.

I deleted RIF today, and downloaded Liftoff. It's not perfect but maybe it will get better. If people wanted to shut off public discourse on social media like Farcebook/Reddit/Twit, then they succeeded.

seconding, liftoff is a p close approximation of the rif visual experience for lemmy it seems like.

Deleted RiF and replaced the same spot on my homescreen with wefwef app.

I put Connect for Lemmy where my Baconreader was. It helps with the muscle memory bit.

Deleted it so links default to browser instead of a defunct app.

I went into the app settings and cleared the default links to achieve the same. Felt too sad to delete the app entirely :(

Yes, but surprisingly my rig still works to see the homepage and saved my fav subs, just can't logon to post or vote. So it's still not the same.

I did see some posts about some how patching rif to a "vanced" version I wanna check out so I can keep tabs on other communities that are migrating while I continue transitioning over to lemmy

Where?

I just replaced it with Jerboa, although I keep going to wefwef nowadays since it's such a good web app

Haven't deleted it as it's still working when not logged in. Only really used RiF for the NSFW subs anyway.

I put the connect app where I had rif on my phone so I press that instead.

I do still get confused when it's not rif.

I uninstalled all my reddit apps to avoid the habit or temptation. Fuck Steve Huffman.

I keep it around so that when I click reddit links in Google they go to RIF instead of the dog shite mobile site. Can't log in or comment though.

I hid it from the app drawer/list, so I can only get to it by searching or with a link.

I kept it for the same reason, but even that appears to not be working anymore
- Well I haven't noticed lol. Feel less and less reason to go back to reddit. Lemmy is pretty great.
- Stealth (com.cosmos.unreddit) has a switch for web scraping mode, however reddit being left as only a really badly ran potemkin village gives the site an uneasy feeling

I don't have the heart to uninstall it yet. :(

Nope, because I deleted it. I see now it's not even listed on the play store.

If saner minds prevail, and it comes back, I'll reinstall it, but it doesn't look like that's happening soon.

I decided to test the ReVanced patch for using your own API key out of curiosity and it worked great so I've kinda just kept it. Still using it to check into a couple of small communities but otherwise coming here for my scrolling and headlines

Keeping it around in case Reddit comes back to life... Or shuts down completely

No, I deleted it. Why would I keep something installed that served no purpose?

I did a send off to my RIF by listening to Pantera's Walk, then deleted the app.

What did you say?

I un-installed it when the blackout started but I understand the feeling. I definitely use my phone less, probably am disconnected from some current events, but I'm trying to participate more here and in the fediverse in general.

Honestly, not as much anymore. Transitioning to Lenny was quite smooth with Connect and it made me aware of the Fediverse, which is such a fascinating concept.

RIF will always have a place in me, and I have not, and will probably not delete it anytime soon. I don't see it from the Playstore anymore, so all the more reason not to. Instead, like what I read somewhere here, I created an "Apps Graveyard" folder and placed it there, keeping me far from unconsciously tapping on RIF for updates.

It will probably take some time.

I am keeping Bacon Reader, a bit sentimental about it. Had it about 12 years. Using liftoff for Lemmy now. Doesn't compare to BR, but It'll do.

Yes :(

I replaced it with Liftoff.

Im currently using the wefwef web app and its pretty good. Going to wait for Sync for Lemmy or for Artemis.

You will find a replacement, dont worry!

It still works - sort of. I can browse reddit without signing in. So I haven't yet deleted it yet. I'm planning to install a vanced version over the coming weekend. Hopefully that will work, I've never done anything like it before.

No, I deleted it. Why would I keep something installed that served no purpose?

Was a sad day when I had to uninstall Sync. Maybe I'll try the re-pack you can do to use your own API key

I keep doing it. I only deleted it off my home screen today and now there's a "RiFt" on my screen :( I don't have the heart to uninstall it yet.

I replaced it in my quick access tray (okay, sync, not rif, still) with my lemmy app of choice. I kept launching it anyway and figured this was the easiest way to get over reddit lol

Exactly what I did! It was such a reflex action. Replaced RIF with AP News until I discovered Jerboa

No, I think a clean separation works best. Over the last month, I've cut my Reddit use down from probably a few hours a day to maybe 2-3 minutes a day just to read up on sports news, and I only do that via old.reddit with RES. The time I used to spend looking at RIF has now been reallocated to reading e-books and getting out of bed in a timely manner.

However, on my phone I have left the space empty where the RIF icon used to be. o7.

I put the app into a box with lemmy apps and it breaks my heart. It's an app I have used countlessly many times.

I deleted it and filled that hole on my home screen with wefwef for now.

Lol yeah, every morning.

The ring app icon looks similar to rif (blue background red dot so I end up absent mindedly press that one.

The app still works for me but maybe that's because I'm not using any user login and am just using it to read a couple of subs that haven't migrated yet.

I did until yesterday. I've enjoyed my experience here and am looking forward to seeing it grow more. As much as the whole situation has pissed me off, it's exciting to be a part of a new community. Thanks for the 10 great years rif.

I removed it for that reason. There's still an empty spot where the RIF icon used to be which I still tap sometimes :(

I keep doing this with Apollo. I'm waiting for the Artemis to get a beta release to replace its spot on my home screen.

I've found that the "Chrome app" version of kbin is actually pretty decent. I don't know what the term is, visit kbin.social using Chrome on your phone and it will offer to "install" a shortcut that you can use as an app while waiting for Artemis. At least, that worked for me on Android.
- Only issue I have is that chrome apps apparently ignore my screen orientation lock.

Apollo for me, but yes. I don't have the heart to delete it, but I have opened it a couple of times though habit and muscle memory alone!

Nope.

I launched it once on July first and then deleted it. No reason it keep a non-functional app installed.

Had a lot of fun with RIF, but all good things must come to and end.

I hope KIF comes out someday.

RiF developer said he's working on another app but it will be for Tildes

No, I hid mine before the protest began. I'd move my lemmy app to the place RIF was in, but I haven't found one that actually works on both my (old) phone and my instance.

Edit: found one that works.

Nope.

Moved it out of my folder at the start of the blackout and opened it a few times for the modcoord updates.

I still have it for novelty reasons but I have been on Kbin and Lemmy since those few weeks.

I'm still using it. When Reddit blocks access or you can't view NSFW subs I'll delete it.

Just removed sync and added connect to the same spot today ... But when sync for Lemmy shows up, I'm gonna use that

I did this with apollo a few times, but changed the icon to reset my eye/muscle memory. Going to leave it for a while during the mourning period

I haven't had that problem. I uninstalled RIF when they announced the changes. I realized I didn't have the premium of RIF, so I bought that while I was at it. I have ended up on Reddit at times just checking in on the API ruckus specifically. However, Reddit as a corporation seems to have a proclivity for beef and thus has continued to convey the ruckus.

Revanced manager can make it work again with a little effort on your part. I did it with Sync for reddit, but I still don't use reddit as much as before. It just doesn't very feel good anymore, so I just occasionally browse reddit through Sync now. Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy!
