Just thought I’d point this out to anyone looking for an RIF alternative that’s actually in the same vein as RIF (compact, simple, clean).

Boost was a Reddit app until today. They just added a preview to the Play Store for their Lemmy app with no fanfare.

    Now trying out Connect for Lemmy. Seems to work fine with a few customization tweaks. Looks very similar to RIF.

        Mainly the layout as a list instead of cards one in the settings. Also, don’t need the navigation bar all the time.

          Thanks for that, I’ll be applying those tweaks on Connect myself. boost looks cool, I’ve bounce from Jerboa to Wefwef and now to Connect, I think I’ll hang out here for awhile unless I hear raving reviews about Boost

            Connect has surpassed jerboa for me at the moment.

            Wefwef is still incomplete, there’s no block user or community (for when something gets spammy)

              I also just hopped from Jerboa to Connect. I like the look and feel of Connect more. I’m coming from BaconReader and this is the closest experience to that I’ve found so far.

      I just downloaded it, feels a bit leggy but also has a nice feel to it.
