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

      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

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

          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.

            I was really liking Jerboa before they broke support for 0.17.4, it was giving me BaconReader vibes.

            Now I’m just on here via Firefox on my phone while I keep looking for an app I like.

            I didn’t like wefwef, idk it just didn’t feel right.

            I’m not a fan of Connect, it seems to default to All no matter what I do.

            I’ll keep trying though, but Lemmy works great in Firefox on my phone.

          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.

          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.

      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!

        Infinity was Reddit for me. A great app, although I didn’t try the others. I hope someone will make a fork.

      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.

      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?
