I had a feeling they’ll put something like this, so I went in every now and then to see how infinity will react. I really loved the app, devs did an amazing job
The announcement is missing mentioning that any content tagged aw NSFW will not be accessible from their app. This was one of the biggest points that made the API changes impracticable for app devs, charging a very significant amount of money for a reduced experience .
The double tragedy here is how so many of the porn subreddits haven’t really moved at all and are still on Reddit.
That’s absolutely the most insane part, they’re the most affected, but also the most likely to just ignore it.
They’re likely not real users but posting bots for companies. Hopefully real users will migrate them to Lemmy
That is assuming most people who access those subs even use the third party apps.
Lol first time I see my post getting reposted, I feel like a celeb
This is my first time seeing a same day repost on lemmy. I’m surprised it took this long, lol
I had already read it a few days ago. So far there seems to be no intention to support lemmy. I for one will probably not pay for a reddit app (of any flavour), but, for the few subreddits that have no viable counterpart here (yet), such as r/flying, I will probably occasionally use it in the desktop browser, if mobile browser really remains impossible.
I’m just slowly moving over what I find important to Lemmy and manually scrambling and deleting old posts. I think this is the only solution now - they can’t take my content and remove my methods of creating and managing it.
It’ll take ~6 months, but I think by then I’ll have a ripped up 14+ years of Reddit.
I accidentally logged out of Sync this morning. Can’t be bothered to log back in.
Is it just me or does that screenshot, all dark grey with white text and some red text, look very 3D to you? I don’t know how to explain it, but the red text looks to me like it is floating closer to my face than the rest of the text (mobile). Like subtitles in a 3D movie. Am I hallucinating? What’s going on?
Missed opportunity. These third-party apps could have updated on 1 July to support Lemmy only. Instead, they wish to continue the abusive relationship with Reddit while making believe that it’s the only option.
Re-writing the app to support a different site isn’t a small undertaking, so I don’t blame devs if that isn’t on their immediate roadmap.
Some devs, such as those of Sync and RIF have already said apps for other sites are in development, too. Sync for Lemmy and RIF for Tildes.
Then there are new apps entirely that will arrive built for the new sites. Jerboa is great already, even with the extremely short time it’s had to be developed in.
Yeah, I use Jerboa, it’s been great.
For those developers who remain committed to Reddit only, competing against the house isn’t viable, you can’t win. The rules will change again.
