Just wait till the third party apps shut down tomorrow, loads of people will be rolling in here. Then when the RIF and Sync developers release their Lemmy apps (with the same names) even more people will come.

I can’t wait for Slide for Lemmy. Always loved that app!

As far as I know, talklittle is focused on making a Tildes app called Three Cheers for now, and had been working it even before the announcement from Reddit. As much as it would be nice to have a Lemmy successor to RIF, the closest we’ll probably get any time soon is an app that’s just inspired by the RIF design.

Just FYI, the app Connect for Lemmy can be configured to look pretty similar to RIF by just toggling a few options.

Jerboa is also remarkably close to how rif looks/looked right out of the box
