Can someone explain me this "Reddit API" thing?
Tldr They started charging 3rd party apps to use their API. The API that they had been using for ages and ages. They were shady about the timeline and their communication to devs was awful. So most 3rd party apps decided to end support as opposed to paying reddit.
Basically they wanted to make sure all users were seeing ads before their IPO.
I was a relay for reddit guy for ~10 years. Once the subscription update hit I uninstalled and moved to boost for lemmy.
I really miss a good Lemmy mobile client though...I was using liftoff which reminded a lot of RIF, but that seems to have been abandoned completely. A lot have ads, so that's a hard pass for me. I'm currently using Thunder, but it's a pretty buggy mess TBH with a lot of UI oddities and bugs.
Eternity is doing great for me
So far the best.
Voyager is very similar to RIF. I'd recommend it highly.
Same as you. Lost Liftoff and using Thunder now. Quite happy with Thunder, but I've got Raccoon and Voyager as backups right now. Just in case Thunder disappears as well.
In the same boat, I miss it still, other ones have a worse UI for me and hate the ad slots in the app although I have DNS ad blocking but its still annoying. Do update me if you find a good replacement as we're looking for the same thing
Voyager is my go to currently
Right off the bat it sit right, thank you
Boost works really well.
Filled with ads and not open source, so not for me.
Fair enough
I like connect
Sync is nice IMO.
Sync has ads and isn't open source, so that's a big no thank you from me.
I use boost and connect. They're both pretty good
Sync is the best client currently IMHO.
Uses ads so I'll pass
It doesn't if you pay for it.
It's not OSS so I I'm not paying/supporting it financially. I don't mind donating to a good ad-free (F)OSS client though.
I'm using eternity for lemmy, it is a fork of the original infinity for reddit but for lemmy instead
