During reddits API fiasco. Specifically the app I was using (boost) recommend everybody move to Lemmy and I obliged. Used jerboa but as soon as Boost for Lemmy was launched I immediately hopped on board. I hope the rest of reddit users comes to their senses. The protest was so utterly pathetic and cowardly.
This is exactly word for word how I got here. lol
Killing my favorite 3rd party Reddit app and the way they treat their customers and subreddits
Like the majority here, reddit refugee
As soon as Apollo stopped working that was it.
Where did you land? Voyager, Mlem?
Not the person you replied to, but Memmy and then Voyager once Memmy became unmaintained. I’m mostly happy with it, and it seems to generally improve with time.
Only complaint now is weirdness around sharing images with other apps: sometimes they show up as the image URL and sometimes as the actual image
That Memmy dev went unimaginable hard for a month or two, then really started to fall behind everyone else.
I wonder what happened. I wonder if they were unemployed then got a new job or something.
Yeah they had the first functional iOS app long before anyone else (Mlem had started earlier but stalled for a while). I recall some of the Memmy developer’s comments saying they had learned a lot about app development since the first beta and had big plans to overhaul the code base. I’m assuming this turned into too much for them to handle, especially as an unpaid gig.
It’s a shame Memmy’s been abandoned, but I’m still super appreciative of the developer for making a workable Lemmy app back then. It definitely helped ease the sting of the transition from Reddit.
Reddit being stupid. Specifically, they killed 3rd party apps. RIP RiF
RiF was so good. It’s how I interacted with reddit for a very long time. Now Jerboa but it’s still not quite there. Although it’s free and the devs are super awesome.
The Reddit API nonsense. Truth be told though, I used to go back for a few very specific subs but the site had gotten so bad that I cannot bring myself to use it any more
Reddit bullshit
Fuck spez
I’d rather not. He always looks a little clammy and moist.
Reddit committed suicide then went full retard. So here I am.
Some guy named Spez fucking up his website
The apipocalypse same as everyone else. I do miss my niche communities, and my 4000+ internet points, but as an open source enthusiast (I use arch btw) I’m very much at home here 😁
Reddit killing the app I used.
I just followed some of the other redditors to here, like an innocent little ducky.
Came for APIpocolypse. Stayed for Sync.
Sync?
Client for Lemmy on Android
Same
Bitches took away Apollo. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I didn’t like the changes on Reddit with the API and suddenly charging for access. Turns out, I like it better here. Probably would have liked it before the Reddit refugee situation, too.
