Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
I was using Joey, which died last night - Always said I would leave as soon as my apps i liked didnt work so I made one last post calling spez a cunt then deleted, here i am!
this is so fucked up
I was so stoked that thinking that maybe Joey wouldn't go down, it's been my most used phone app for years. Trying to force myself to love lemmy, just wish there was an app that allows swiping from one post to the next
Connect for Lemmy has you covered. If you're on Android.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Else, you can try WefWef.app which also worked really well as a web app. It has gesture support.
Former joey user I left reddit as soon as the API changes where public, I wanted to dev to pivot joey for Lemmy among other that said the same on the subreddit but never got any response. rip.
RIP Joey,
Downloaded it back in 2017, promptly forgot my password, and now the only I'd access my account is gone, I guess this is a goodbye to Reddit and a hello to Lemmy.
Is there any way to get something resembling Joey in Lemmy? Best-rated app in Play Store is Connect, and, well, I miss Joey. 😩
Wow, reddit reaching new levels of suck right here.
Narwhal on IOS is still going I just keep it to see how long it lasts zero chance I get the official app.
This is why I'm here RIP Joey.
I used Joey for few years. I expected that it will end after API changes, but it's still sad. I wonder what another project will be about, I signed to newsletter. I guess, it's time to move to Lemmy more than I did
How hard it is to replace the backend while keeping the experience the same?
Depends on how the code was written, it can vary between "a few days of work" and "it's easier to write a new one"
Realised this when I tried to use the app today morning. Sad! Wish they would make a lemmy app.
Such a shame... time for me to give Lemmy a go.
