      Everyday I learn of another 3rd party app for reddit which I didn’t knew existed. It shows how big reddit has become over the years and how spez has screwed over sooooo many people with that decision.

      He doesn’t care. All he wants is the IPO to cash out.

        It bums me out so much. I was a Boost user for a solid 5~ years, been on reddit for about 5½. Finally deleted my account earlier this morning

          So you think this Lemmy thing will catch on? It needs some critical mass but I kind of like it.

            I hope so. While I’m missing like 75% of the subreddits I used to frequent, I have the skeleton of it covered. With time hopefully it’ll bulk up, especially with the huge influx of new users

      I find Jerboa to be similar enough for the moment, but it still has a long way to go to match Boost in it’s comfort and feature richness.

        Jerboa is fine, but it’s not “years and years of polish” quality yet. Which is totally okay, everything has to start somewhere and the app works for most things which is enough to not be too annoying.

      Relay for me. I really hope that someone ends up implementing some kind of translation layer for the reddit API that would encourage the existing reddit apps to supper Lemmy.

        That would be a spectacular idea.

        And I’m happy to see another Relay user. They seemed to be left out of the lists even though they’ve got a fantastic app

          Relay said they are going to try $3/month subscription model.

          I definitely got my money’s worth out of Relay Pro, but I can’t justify the subscription.

            Relay user here. I love Relay. Dbrady is the best. And I have no problem supporting him at $3 a month, but f* reddit after all this. I’m not giving them a penny.

              Yeah my problem with the 3 bucks is that 2.50 of it is going straight to reddit’s rent seeking. I hope it works out with dBrady and relay, but it will be without me.

            Users should be getting paid for contributing to reddit, not paying for the privilege. We create the data that reddit gets its revenue from.
