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!

I'm here because of you. Loving your idea, and hoping they go for it. Because what the hell, Reddit.

Reddit banned him! They're freaking out so much.

Welcome! I hope you have a good time here man, if you got any questions don't hesitate to shoot em up :)

I only wonder what's the best way to advertise c/wish and why it or !wish@lemmy.ml isn't automatically made into a link :p

Going to reddit to upvote, thanks for the effort!

Maybe you want to address mastodon client devs as well… they are familiar with the protocol.

[–] DudeDad@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I've been using iOS app Ivory for Mastodon, and it's FANTASTIC. Little did I know, they also make my favorite calculator app, Calcbot.

I would love it if they swooped in and developed for Lemmy.

It's true, infinity for reddit is finite, it should be infinity for infinite websites ^/_\^

I love using Relay, and if it ever adopts Lemmy support then I'd be using it for sure.

Same. I always liked the app, but was recently blown away w/ how intuitive and clean their Android tablet interface was

Thanks for this 💜
