After saying goodbye to RIF and reddit, it's time for me to move on. So far I've used 4 apps for Lemmy and this is my personal ranking:

wefwef.app. Very clean design, works well and smooth experience. Overall the best implementation so far.
Connect/Liftoff (tied). Both are solid, I prefer Connect's sidebar and options but I prefer the design of the posts and comments on Liftoff. When the comments stack in Connect it looks awful IMO.
Jerboa. As a first option it was good but after so many timeouts, other design issues and multiple errors I kinda gave up on the app. After its polished I'll give it another try.

I’m using the beta of Memmy and it’s my preferred, but WefWef is a close second. The only ding against WW is it’s a web app, not a native app and that’s my own preference. either option is solid

There is a native wefwef app for android and it feels very close to rif

I wondered why the rif developer doesn't just recode rif to point at lemmy tbh

I mean, they might, at some point. But at the moment, the entire fediverse is still much smaller than Reddit, so there's currently less incentive...

Also, it's certainly not as easy as you make it sound to "just recode rif to point at lemmy"! If it was, one of us would have already done it...
