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.
ngl Jerboa isn't that bad.
It got much better with the two recent updates. Images still sometimes spaz out when you scroll, and for whatever reason searching for communities doesn't seem to work right. But for reading, commenting, etc it's totally usable.

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
The thumb thing is real. It's like muscle memory every time I unlock my phone.
Sync is/was a fantastic app. One of the best designed and functioning Android apps I've used. Damn shame.
The Sync dev has stated that Sync for Lemmy might become a thing one day, so there's good news on that front.
I'd pay for that

Same, it's been hard it's like I'm in rehab. But in a way it's great too. I've been doing other stuff. Like started learning to make video edit with Davinci. For all the Apex gameplay footages I've stored over the years.
The muscle memory is so bad. I had to hide RedReader after I found myself subconsciously opening it over and over again. The toilet breaks are not the same...
I won't be deleting it yet, they've got the accessibility exception for now.

I am truly hoping Christian or u/lupeski come here and show their awesome talent off in the Fediverse!
Apollo for lemmy would be great, and it wouldn't be too hard for Christian to rewrite it to work with lemmy. Heck, people have written proxies which proxy the reddit oauth API to lemmy, so it would be as easy as running one of those proxies and replacing a URL, really.
That's over simplified. Even if they change the data source. Lemmy and reddit have different data structures and the UI would also have to be modified

The difference in data models and APIs, combined with the amount of features Apollo supported would likely make it a fairly large task.
But that aside, he mentioned in an article recently that he doesnβt have an appetite to pivot the app towards Lemmy or another third party: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759180/reddit-protest-private-apollo-christian-selig-subreddit

Didn't Reddit acquire Alien Blue and make it into the official app?
And absolutely ruined it, of course
Yea I remember at first everyone was so excited and then they decided to absolutely destroy what made that app good.
yes
Donβt be sad itβs gone, be happy that it happened :)
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.

I uninstalled Slide For Reddit and put jerboa in the same place
I havenβt seen many people that used slide. That was my go to on android.
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
It will, but they'll probably start sending you invoices for whatever requests you make.
Well, they've said 100 requests per minute is under the free tier, since I'm the only user with my API key that should be within their limits.

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 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).

Yeah, to me, Apollo and Reddit went hand in hand. Without Apollo, no good Reddit.
Thatβs the same Apollo icon that I use.
