Could be anything associated with the Fediverse, Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed etc.

    This probably won’t work for everyone, but whenever I’m learning or trying out something new and unfamiliar, I always tend to follow the philosophy of “Just jump straight into the deep end and you have no choice but to swim”.

    So for those thinking of trying out Lemmy/Fediverse. I suggest trying to get your own instance running. It’ll get you more familiar with what Lemmy is and how it works (at least on a high level). Its also really rewarding when you get it all up and running, it becomes something more personal to you since you took the time and effort (instead of just clicking sign up on some instance).

    But again, that just how I prefer doing things. To each their own.

      I saw someone mention Jerboa for those used to RIF, and after a couple hours of light use, I gotta say it is indeed pretty similar so far.

        As someone who came from RIF I couldn’t stand Jerboa. It was just too unintuitive. I’m currently using Connect for Lemmy, but honestly I’m just waiting and hoping Sync for Lemmy is going to fill the void that RIF left. Sync for Reddit probably would’ve been my go to app if I hadn’t discovered RIF before.

        Works on any mobile browser but it looks and behaves like an IOS app. It’s ok but takes getting used to when you are used to Android.
