Same thing I said to my friend after a burglar stole his xbox
Quoting from Morrowind: Maybe young folks like you should try some new ideas. I don't know. Could be messy. But change is never pretty.
We might miss some things from Reddit but the platform wasn't getting any better. It's an opportunity for a change that could be for the better.
Add Sync for Reddit to that list :(
It perfect. I will wait sync for lemmy
Really hope LJ goes on and makes the app for this!
Jerboa is a nice replacement for now, but I love the way sync was set up. That said, with time Jerboa could become feature rich. And options is key!
RiF golden platinum for me.
But the dev of RiF says he intends to make a Lemmy is Fun app once RiF shuts down, so at least it's not a bad thing after all.
Same here, can't wait for lemmy is fun!
I think this is what Lemmy and other Fediverse sites need - a really good mobile app. once that happens, I think Lemmy, kbin, etc will start really attracting users.
Deleted my account, deleted the app! My thumb keeps looking for it on my phone, though. Poor little thumb, probably misses his old simpsons shitposts
There's not even a hide read option in the Official Redit app. Fk u reddit
They wouldn't want you to curate how many posts you have to scroll past to get to the real content. More scrolling equals more and impressions.
I had to remove the Joey app from my home screen and replace it with the Jerboa app (as in, put it in the same spot) because I kept accidentally opening Joey. -.-
I still have joey on mine as a reminder of the shitshow that is reddit. I haven't touched it once since switching as I have been going to jeroba so often it's already a reflex lol! Joey didn't do anything wrong. I will always keep the app, never use it again, but keep it because it's mine and I bought that freaking thing.
I have been using Infinity, which somehow is NOT planning on shutting down?? Yeah, I don't see how that's gonna work. Doesn't matter, Reddit under Spaz is dead to me now.
Ive heard some rumors that it is possible to fake the app ID and/or useragent to make reddit servers think youre using their app.
I hope he will try that route just to fuck with them.
Sounds like a short term solution, but it's worth it just to cause Spaz some grief.
Yeah, I used Infinity too. Deleted my reddit account yesterday and uninstalled Infinity today.
I hope the Infinity developer finds a job..

Personally a Reddit is Fun user, but sad to see them all go...
Itβs really sad, but itβs also super exciting to be a part of something new! All of this reminds me of the old school internet with competitors and communities popping up here and there.
I didnβt realize how toxic and hostile Reddit actually was until I stopped using it and started interacting with the folks on here. I just hope it sticks around
RiP RiF
I feel badly because I preferred the native app. I tried several 3P apps including Apollo but I never could get into it. I'm still here instead of Reddit because I don't like the changes but i any case I feel a bit of guilt around it
I hereby order you to stop feeling guilty!
Life is too short to feel guilt over app preferences. And anyone who purposefully tries to make you feel guilty should go out and touch grass (as the youth say).
I am truly hoping Christian or u/lupeski come here and show their awesome talent off in the Fediverse!
Alien Blue is the pre-enshittification official Reddit app right?
Yeah. Basically the proto-official app. Apollo was (allegedly) inspire by AlienBlue, but Iβm not sure if thatβs just a rumor or not. People called it the spiritual successor during Apolloβs whole run.
Needs the official reddit app in App Hell. Along with several million other apps...
Yeah but that would require actually downloading it, so nah.
I managed to get Apollo working with my own API key using a tweak and Sideloadly (works on jailed phones too)
We'll see if that continues working after 30th, if not I think I'm pretty much done with Reddit
RIF RIP
Do we have any news on if any of the popular 3rd Party developers are planning to make Lemmy apps? How interchangeable is the code? Will it be a case of starting from absolute scratch?
I'm using Jerboa and it's different but in a good way.
I'm using Jerboa and it's fine but I'm missing a few features from Sync and frankly I don't like change π
I heard the Reddit is Fun dev is planning on either joining a project or doing a new one for Lemmy. I heard it here somewhere so I donβt know much other than that
