Chloyster [she/her]The developer of Sync for Reddit is working on a Lemmy app
How's Sync compared to Reddit Is Fun? I've never used the former
Sync was my favorite reddit app personally, its not the most similar to RIF though. As far as I understand RIF was more like old.reddit.com. Sync utilizes a lot of modern UI choices but the layout has always been really nice and has had amazing customization
Jerboa in List mode looks like Sync
Pro comment here, I always liked the compact content view and was wondering how to change it. This should hold me over until sync is out !
So much so that I assumed it was the inspiration.
Not like RIF, more modern space wasting with the 'card' approach. Although I'm not sure about customisation, I just remember trying it and it had the same design 'flaws' every other had until I stumbled into RIF, which was perfect.
Would love a RIF-like app.

Dear gods, no. It has and always had a great compact view:
That is pretty good to be fair, I'd settle for that, but RIF's compact is still superior for me.
Do you have a screenshot?

MasterYep, used compact view the whole time I used sync and it was perfect! chef's kiss
atocciSync was very big on customizability, so it did have the options to make your view incredibly compact as well. By default, it was always set to follow very closely with Google's design language, but you could get something very similar to the density of RIF as well.
Did it have the option to swipe between posts instead of needing to click on each one? It was a basic feature of the official reddit app that I'm surprised more 3rd party apps didn't emulate. Joey was the only android app that I found that had it
An option for a left to right swipe that goes through all posts on a subreddit one by one with a big media-centric post view? I haven't used the official app, but if that's what you're looking for, it does! I can't think of a single way to view reddit that Sync didn't have support for.
