Hey! This post is not specifically related to the lemmy.world instance. From now on, posts such as these will be removed, in order for the community to stay on topic. However, as this is a highly upvoted post, I'll just lock it for now.

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The Sync dev has stated that Sync for Lemmy might become a thing one day, so there's good news on that front.

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It should be called "Lemmy is more fun"

Same here, can't wait for lemmy is fun!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

ngl Jerboa isn't that bad.

Don’t be sad it’s 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.

Same thing I said to my friend after a burglar stole his xbox

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. -.-

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I had the same issue. Maybe, just maybe, I had a small addiction and Lemmy does not help too much with that.

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

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..

I am truly hoping Christian or u/lupeski come here and show their awesome talent off in the Fediverse!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 doesn’t 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

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

Didn't Reddit acquire Alien Blue and make it into the official app?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And absolutely ruined it, of course

Personally a Reddit is Fun user, but sad to see them all go...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

It’s really sad, but it’s 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 didn’t 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

There's not even a hide read option in the Official Redit app. Fk u reddit

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

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.

Alien Blue is the pre-enshittification official Reddit app right?

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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).

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?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm using Jerboa and it's different but in a good way.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm using Jerboa and it's fine but I'm missing a few features from Sync and frankly I don't like change πŸ˜‚

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 don’t know much other than that

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
