I've also cross-posted this post on other third-party apps' subs:

EDIT: Forgot to write a bit of an introduction of myself, hello to everyone here, long time redditor and someone who also happens to mod a lot of subs on reddit such as r/electricvehicles, r/trulyunpopularopinion and etc!

Though I love to moderate and contribute to this communities meaningfully, I never liked reddit, as a huge FOSS fan, and these recent API changes are freaking stupid as well, there wasn't a better reason for me to not consider moving to Lemmy. I will be speaking with a lot of other reddit mods in my own mod teams and some other friends, hopefully I can bring some subs/people here.

Speaking of bringing people, please do consider checking out these posts I've linked above, and consider upvoting them if you agree, this situation with third-party apps are a great opportunity for Lemmy, hopefully it reaches to the devs, and even if not all apps make a move, even one would be a win.

Thank you!

EDIT 2: Hey guys! I missed some third party apps on the list above, just updated them, and the new added ones are RIF, Joey, Get Narwhal and RedReader. UPDATE: Added ReddPlanet.

Please do consider visiting those that I just added and upvote them, so hopefully they can reach to respective developers!

did you also post this /ApolloApp? it sure would be nice if we got an Apollo-like app for lemmy!

Looks like Jerboa is a mobile client for Lemmy developed by Lemmy devs. Using it now, not bad.

sadly, the only ios client has been abandoned. there's another in development, but it's not in the app store yet, and I don't feel like downloading and compiling it myself, lol

There is one in development available on TestFlight for open testing

Oh yes! The OG post is linked to my post on Apollo, the rest of my posts are linked on the description, let me add apollo on the description as well to make it clear.
