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
Fuck spez
I’d rather not. He always looks a little clammy and moist.
Came for APIpocolypse. Stayed for Sync.
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.
Reddit API bullshit. But mostly I wanted to support the dev for reddit sync.
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.
Killing my favorite 3rd party Reddit app and the way they treat their customers and subreddits
Some guy named Spez fucking up his website
Reddit committed suicide then went full retard. So here I am.
Yeah API shit was the final straw, but it was a long time coming. Honestly I’d switch way sooner had there been any alternative. I and a lot of other people tried, but nothing ever really took off even though the systems were there.
It’s about adoption, but mainstream adoption is also what kills a site like this.
Reddit sent me to Lemmy with their actions. Thanks Reddit!
Bitches took away Apollo. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Reddit bullshit
Another arrival due to APIpocalypse and the enshittification process that Spez started with Reddit.
When they killed third party apps.
