I haven’t even considered this. Most users on Reddit are lurkers. It doesn’t take many of us to make new communities worth visiting

Your low-effort comment wasn't even funny.

Coming to a comment thread to reply "this" feels so cheugy. When I think of the heydey of reddit, I think of 2011 in my dorm room doing the grow a college subreddit. And here we are twelve years later and the best experience you can get now is exactly that same experience.

You forgot reposts for karma whoring.

Yeah lve been a lurker for over 10 years over there and I was sick of all the karma whoring, the low quality posts and especially the pun threads that would bend my face with cringe. Hopefully we can get things right on the Lemmy-verse

Found wefwef today and love it.

I was kind of bummed when I realized it wasn’t a native app, but so far it’s been working great regardless.

Agreed. I only viewed reddit through apollo; if he can shift, I’ll absolutely stay with apollo over reddit.

Sync and Boost officially are.

Infinity for Everything (Fediverse) is on GitHub.

wefwef and Memmy are starting to feel like Apollo already.

Connect seems to be inching closer to Relay with each update, and Jerboa gives off RiF vibes.

People need to post about this on reddit more to perhaps encourage the other devs to do the same; might've actually worked for Boost cuz the dev didn't originally plan to port it to Lemmy it seems

Boost is the one I'm looking forward to the most. Highly customizable and highly streamlined

In addition to the others mentioned, someone is making an unofficial port of Slide.

Developer of RedReader also said they want to eventually support Lemmy and perhaps tildes and hacker news, even though RedReader got an exemption from the api fees for now. But as a "long-term vision", so probably not immediately.

Sync, Boost are some of the apps I know

Sadly, it's going to become a Tildes app apparently.

Don't despair though, you can get fairly close with the Connect app with a few settings changes already.

Won't all nsfw content be invisible to third-party apps?

So people aren't paying to keep reddit alive, they're paying to have some advertiser friendly, bot-ridden husk of reddit available outside the official app.

Those outsized API fees don't even get you the original reddit experience, it's disgusting.

I don't blame the dev, but I also don't understand his decision.

It's probably hard to give up entirely on an app you've been working on for so long.

I've been test driving android apps for lemmy for hours now and it's been fun but I'd love to see one with a RIF UX. Any chance we can convince Andy to develop RIF for lemmy?

Sync is, and I'd be surprised if we don't get a fedi fork of Infinity and the other open-source reddit apps at some point!

I know Boost is going to become a Lemmy app. You can even "preorder" it on the playstore and itll download on your device as soon as its released.
