Reddit is (no longer) Fun.
Like others, the API change was the final straw. I used Reddit is Fun (RIF) for years, even paid for the full version, because both the official Reddit app and the mobile web interface were terrible. I was also using the old web interface with the Reddit Enhancement Suite, and that went on “maintenance mode”. Overall, Reddit just reached a point that the enshitification was getting to be too much for me to stomach. So, here I am.
I’ve found Thunder to be a great replacement with some modern, gesture and UX friendly enhancements. Raccoon for Lemmy is pure magic and I highly recommend it as well, but the UX and UI are more modern and has less of that RIF, old-school forum thread scroller vibe.

RIF clan, represent!
I haven’t tried them all, but I’ve been using Boost. What app are you using to recreate that RIF feel?
Jerboa hits that minimalist sweet spot for me.
I started using Summit and it was good enough that I stuck with it.
I feel like Summit is one of the most underrated apps. It’s been solid all around and steadily improving since the start.
