I use Connect for Lemmy ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect ) on my mobile and Photon on my Desktop ( https://photon.xylight.dev )

Here's a temporary workaround for anyone wanting to continue using RIF or any other third-party Reddit clients. I say temporary because Reddit could break the functionality at any given moment.

Guide

A fellow hobbyist here. I use a Pixel 7 alongside a flip 4 and an iPhone 12 mini.

I absolutely agree with this. I've used the former and the experience is exactly the same. Neither Flutter nor React Native support any remotely complex features from individual platforms. Breaking layouts and abysmal memory usage is a cherry on top.

I notice the same as well

You're still tagged as a Bot, by the way

I've had a Flip 4 since launch, and the screen doesn't open all the way through. It wasn't used a lot, it mostly remained home on my desk mat and it just stopped opening all the way through. Sure, it could be that a piece of dirt might have got in, but please be aware of such cases. The country I'm in doesn't even have a lot of repair options.

I haven't yet found a UI that I like. I've been trying Alexandrite for the past couple of days, but Photon has stuck for now.

I've used an iPhone 6 prior to Pixel 1,2,3,6, and 7 with the Samsung Flip and iPhone 12 mini in between. My country's mobile plans are cheap, so I have 2 lines with 45 GB of data on each of them. My current daily is a Pixel because of its camera and smarts

I haven't tried this. I deleted my Reddit account a while ago.
