Hard to break old habits, I kept accidently opening the RiF app. And so long as I’m not logged in I can browse reddit. Is this the case for anyone else? And do we know why?

    It isn’t just you, and as for why it’s because reddit is staffed by morons. There’s no point in sugar coating that.

    RIF won’t be back like Vanced, best to do what I did and put your Lemmy app on that square of your home screen.

      My good sir; a SQUARE? I had given Reddit is Fun the entire 4x1 widget that auto-updated every half hour, in dark mode theme no less. That was one of the things I loved most about RiF - the clean, bare-bones and functional widget on my home screen.

      But yes, since reading this thread, I put it back on my home screen and now I just read reddit in RiF while logged out. We’ll see how long that lasts…

        I’m using WefWef. It feels best IMO. It’s no RIF but it’s feeling closer than ever. It installs seamlessly via browser (web app) and just pops into your app drawer. Apparently based off Apollo too. Just click the link and try it. https://wefwef.app/ you can install it from there

          Same, started with jerboa and it’s good but someone suggested liftoff and I’m really digging it. I do like hopping back on jerboa now and then but I think liftoff is what I’ll be using.
