When was the first reddit third party app released?

How far do we have to go in terms of development?

If we want Lemmy to take all of reddit’s traffic we need to have a much better ui expierience with more bells and whistles.

    I just hopped onto the Boost beta earlier today. It’s already damned good. The only thing I miss from Reddit now is a relentless firehose of new bullshit to burn out my dopamine receptors with.
