Just thought I’d point this out to anyone looking for an RIF alternative that’s actually in the same vein as RIF (compact, simple, clean).

Boost was a Reddit app until today. They just added a preview to the Play Store for their Lemmy app with no fanfare.

      I’m so grateful you posted this comment! As a fellow refugee from Reddit that used only Apollo since the very beginning, wefwef is truly a blessing!

      Wouldn’t have found out about it so soon if not for you!

    Looks good! I’ve been using Jerboa on list view and finding it pretty close to my old experience on rif.

      Jerboa was based on Boost, so the Boost for Lemmy app should be really popular.

    Wow, this looks exactly like RIF.

    Personally I’m making the move to open source as long as I’m moving from Reddit to Lemmy anyway, so I won’t be using Boost although I used RIF for like a decade, but I’m glad that the app ecosystem is growing so fast and that there’s something for everybody.

    Now trying out Connect for Lemmy. Seems to work fine with a few customization tweaks. Looks very similar to RIF.
