Oh, it’s about to get far worse for reddit in short order.
I suspect that we will be seeing some very beloved third party apps that just got bullied out of reddit, available for lemmy very soon.
What the fuck is spez going to do, when he now has to compete against the look and feel of apps that make his app look like dogs shit? He can’t boot them from reddit again.
These 3P app developers have millions in their audience. Millions of people who’d love nothing more than to open that app as usual on July 1st and just keep doing the same thing they did the day before.
My favourite Reddit app, Infinity, just popped a message this morning saying as of July 1, they’re going subscription.
While I understand, I’m not paying to use Reddit. Even if I did, my understanding is that NFSW content won’t be available, and, let’s be honest, that’s half the usefulness of Reddit.
So, Lemmy it is! And so far, I’ve got no complaints.
Did they say how much is going to be for their suscription? not planning on buying but I’m curious as to how much per user is sustainable for 3rd party apps
I almost feel bad for him, that’s going to be a losing battle both financially and because at this point Reddit doesn’t have very much of a future.
Especially financially since we all know that there are going to be plenty of people who might use it without paying for it (cracked apps, while not as common as they used to be are still definitely a thing).

The Sync app author has confirmed they’re working on a Threadiverse app, and I suspect we’ll get at least one more from the reddit 3PA authors.
There are also some nice ones shaping up from other developers already too.
My opinion is that without proper moderation tools, the best mods will leave or just quit moderating. Slowly the site eats itself when that happens.
I’ve been extremely lax about my moderation these days. But the only posts getting reported are my sticky posts on where else you can find us.
So they’re reporting a post you wrote…to you?
Maybe they think they’re telling on him to the admins
Hopefully a rif replacement is coming
Would they change the acronym to rwf for reddit was fun or lif for the obvious?
Kif for kbin and the meme of this post has gone full circle
groans
Yep, rif dev was rumored to be working on it. It’s a race to the finish now to see which app dev gets it first.
Slide for reddit is working on Lemmy support as well!
Slide has unparalleled customizability imo. Definitely my favorite.

Once Sync publishes their first public build it’s over for Reddit. Native simply can’t compete with Sync.

There’s already 3 in development that I know of. 2 for Android and 1 for IOS.
