used this app during the ugly alpha Testflight days. Loved it and how responsive Christian was. When Pro came out I bought it and when Ultra came out I got lifetime.
Any lifetime members make the jump to Lemmy?
Anyone still using Reddit ? What app are you using? I’m on narwhal to check once a day for 5 minutes and I’m done.
Had Christian been able to figure out new pricing with the API, how do you think he would’ve handled Lifetime subscriptions? Create a Apollo 2.0 and say lifetime was only for lifetime of 1.0? Offer a legacy pricing / lifetime only perks to lifetime members?
I check reddit sometimes using RedReader which got an exemption from the API policies https://www.reddit.com/r/RedReader/comments/145du4j/update_4_redreader_granted_noncommercial/
Still though, who knows how long that may last, I can’t imagine using reddit without 3rd party apps otherwise. I’m loving Lemmy so far and even RedReader seemed to have plans to support other platforms including Lemmy someday, so that’s exciting.
How long will that app last if it becomes the prominent app post migration? It’s gonna draw attention if it becomes the main way to bypass Reddit ads / app. Will it be subscription free?
the dev is strong on the philosophy of keeping it free and open source. So it won’t ever require subscription, which also partly what allowed reddit to give the exemption as a ‘non commercial’ app. As for how long it may last, I don’t know, they were worried about this too, that a lot of 3rd party users would migrate to this app and reddit may change their mind.
Is it android only?
Yeah unfortunately it’s Android only.
Something on iOS will emerge I hope.
Looks that way sadly.
