It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Man, Joey was my favorite one for sure
It was objectively the best reddit app. So many people missed out. Was a great ride. Here's hoping he develops a similar app for this platform.
What made it "objectively" the best reddit app?
I don't know if this made it the best app, but joey had this arrow up button on every comment. It will collapse all previous sibling comment so you can easily see the parent comments and find the context.
For example when you tap the up arrow on comment G this is what happens:
As you can see it preserve the comment chain and quickly remind you of the context. This is extremely useful on a busy thread. I haven't seen this feature on any other reddit apps. I wish lemmy apps could adopt this feature
Seems like the newest version of the Connect for Lemmy app has a version of this feature. If you tap a comment, an option comes up that says "< Parent". Tapping it will automatically scroll you up to the very top parent comment. For example, doing that on my comment here would scroll you up to Saneless's comment above that started this whole conversation.
I just knew this, that's very useful! But sometimes I just want to go up a few comment chain, not to the very top
I'm pretty sure Boost had this as well, a great feature!
Well then I'm looking forward for it to be ported to lemmy
That was such a great feature.
i miss the arrows that let you skip to the next top level comment. it also did the immersive browsing thing really, really well. very missed app.
It has insane customization.
The dev was very receptive to feature requests.
I can recall one such feature. Some use wanted to way in which he can change all occurres "fuck" in his feed to "duck". Dev worked on it and made the feature available in just a few days. Off course it wasn't limited to just these words. Any used could set "word swap" for any words that they wished
I hope they notice the popularity of this post and take it as a sign to make joey for Lemmy!
I loved Joey, definitely one of the best. Rip in peace buddy, Here hoping that the developer brings their talent to Lemmy.
