Apps saying goodbye to Reddit and immediately becoming fediverse apps instead (slrpnk.net)

Which apps are specifically turning into fediverse apps? Very curious.

[–] OtakuAltair@vlemmy.net 53 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Sync and Boost officially are.

Infinity for Everything (Fediverse) is on GitHub.

wefwef and Memmy are starting to feel like Apollo already.

Connect seems to be inching closer to Relay with each update, and Jerboa gives off RiF vibes.

People need to post about this on reddit more to perhaps encourage the other devs to do the same; might've actually worked for Boost cuz the dev didn't originally plan to port it to Lemmy it seems

[–] Hipstershy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Jerboa is crashing for me on start, which isn't a great sign. I just want Boost already!

[–] OtakuAltair@vlemmy.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably because blahaj is on 0.17.4, and Jerboa only supports 0.18 and later right now.

Use wefwef or Thunder. And Connect and Liftoff are on the playstore already.

[–] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

Blahaj just updated!

[–] pfannkuchen_gesicht@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is so incredibly buggy right now though, that it barely worked for me at all. I just switched to Liftoff. It also has its fair share of bugs but at least functions almost reliably.

[–] Littleborat@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I have the same problem, maybe some instances need to update.

I am on liftoff right now, which does not let me post on lemmy.world but maybe it will after they update.

[–] Uncandy1@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

I am on connect now and the similarities with relay is why

[–] Relaxxx@vlemmy.net 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I've been test driving android apps for lemmy for hours now and it's been fun but I'd love to see one with a RIF UX. Any chance we can convince Andy to develop RIF for lemmy?

[–] Hiccup@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I need a RiF Lemmy badly.

[–] suprjami@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] jasonwaterfalls@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I prefer liftoff but I have liked all the apps so far for different reasons.

[–] wanderingmagus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Secondly the recommendation for Connect. I put it right where RIF used to be and it's been working like a charm.

[–] cmdrfire@lemmy.villa-straylight.social 2 points 1 year ago

He's doing one for Tildes apparently but I'd love to see one for Lemmy

[–] cnnrduncan@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

Sync is, and I'd be surprised if we don't get a fedi fork of Infinity and the other open-source reddit apps at some point!

[–] aka_oscar@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know Boost is going to become a Lemmy app. You can even "preorder" it on the playstore and itll download on your device as soon as its released.
