I used RIF for years, and kind of hope the developer makes a Lemmy port to be honest. I've not tried many android apps yet, but Jerboa For Lemmy is pretty good so far.

That's it.

Seconded
Tried a few, Jerboa is sort of good but there are things you just have to figure out. Like I'm a user on my own Lemmy, and I can't find my own instances? Does the search only search ... well what actually? Also as I have my super user, another user, a user on beehaw etc (not very rational maybe) but you don't know whith witch obe you are browsing.
Guess it's just too, early so for now I'm sticking with Jerboa as it's the official app.
Everything is great though, I'm just pointing out small inconveniences.
I'm also coming from RIF and have found Jerboa alright after adjusting the "look and feel" settings to the more compact options. Clicking into comments requiring being more careful with where you tap is my main complaint.
The developer of Sync for Reddit is working on a Lemmy port, and hopes to have early access ready in a few more days.
I'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy. I was actually pretty well settled in Squabbles, but when I heard that the dev for Sync for Reddit was making a Lemmy app, I had to jump over here and give it a shot. His design was THAT good.
I assume Sync will be my go-to, but I'm going to give Artemis a try once it's released. Currently using Connect, I just really miss some key features like swiping and jumping to top comments.
Is Squabbles also Lemmy? It looks/feels different than other lemmy instances.
As a former RIF addict, I found "Summit for Lemmy" a decent alternative.
I used RiF for years, and I moved over to Jerboa when I started using Lemmy over a week or two ago.
Pretty great, the button mapping felt natural, as did the post layout, menus, account switching, etc. Definitely gets a recommendation from me!
I switched from RiF to Jerboa easily. The small card view and dark theme is pretty much the same as I used on RiF. I don't remember all the settings but you can customise some stuff. I did that in Rif too, so I'm not even sure what the default is in either app anymore.
There's been a lot of bugs and crashes lately but I hope it gets better with time, but appearance wise this is as good as RiF IMO.
Thunder and liftoff seem to be rapidly moving to the front of the pack.

Jerboa in List View is almost the same as RiF as far as functionality for me.
It's pretty crashy right now, though.
I'm using Connect for Lemmy at the moment and I used RIF for 9 years.
I like Summit > Connect > Jerboa in that order.
But they're getting updated everyday, so far summit is my favorite.
I'm a former RIF user. Honestly, I recommend just downloading as many as you can to see which one you like best. I did that, and I ended up liking Liftoff the most, but you may have liked RIF for different reasons than I did.
