I just woke up, opened the app out of habit, saw a 429 error, and uninstalled. There's an empty spot on my home screen now that I'll fill with LiftOff after a mourning period
Granted I used Sync and not RiF (though I initially used RiF from like 2013-2015), but it looks so weird seeing the green Liftoff logo on my home screen, which has been largely unchanged for the past 8 years since I started using Sync.
Both Sync & RiF have patches available from the ReVanced team, they've taken the API keys from the official Reddit app and you can then inject them into Sync/RiF using:
Revanced is a tool some people made to patch apps. It was built to be a successor to vanced which was when basically they distributed modded adfree YouTube APKs. Google sent them a cease and desist, so they built a tool to mod apps yourself.
Jerboa with some minor tweaks in settings (list mode, amoled etc.) looks just like RIF for me. However the comments section is not accurate, but still does a pretty good job. Try it out.
One of the new Android apps, Jerboa & Liftoff are open source available on F-Droid. I'm using Connect for Lemmy available on the playstore and Boost will be available soon as well as a myriad of other apps
is one of the new Lemmy mobile native apps. I tested it (Android) but so far "Connect for reddit" is the best in terms of stability and functionality. I don't care so much about desing myself. Although both have nice desings imo.
