Hopefully, the momentum of people transferring to lemmy stays. I've had conversations with other Redditors who recognized the importance of third party apps but went ahead and downloaded the official app anyway.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's insane. I downloaded boost because I hated the official app. Since I heard the news about the API I never even once considered downloading the official app again. After all, you're exactly doing what sp*z wants you to do.

Lemmy also has a really great app environment. Boost for Lemmy is apparently already on the way, as well as both Sync, Slide, and a bunch of new apps too!

You can also try out wefwef.app I'm using it right now and it feels just like Apollo

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh absolutely. Wefwef is great, I'm actually using it as my desktop Lemmy experience right now. Right now app development is moving so fast that my favorite is rapidly switching, but the three favorites that I'm using the most are Connect, Thunder, and wefwef.

Imma go ahead and take note of your suggestions. Thank you fellow Lemming!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tell me about it. Just goes to show that certain people aren't willing to compromise on what they perceive as their home.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah actually looking back at it, I had been fed up with Reddit for a while. Between the lame new awards and NFT avatars, mods got cockier and subreddits were banned for no reason... If it weren't for the third party apps I would've stopped using Reddit long ago!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How can anyone use the official app after using a 3PA for years? The official app is laggy and bloated...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Addicted to the ecosystem

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I honestly don't know. It baffles me. Maybe it's convenient but their decisions completely invalidates the blackout and just confirms spez's words that this will all blow over.

I tried the official app soon after it's initial release and didn't like it. Tried again the other day and it was even worse than I remember. It was ugly and slow scrolling on my phone. I deleted it right away. I don't mind using the reddit desktop site, if I go back for my niche communities until they make it to the Fediverse, but I'm no longer using reddit on mobile if I can't use my favorite 3rd-party app. Reddit even made it's mobile website annoying to use, trying push people to its app. I absolutely hate when sites do that.
