Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

Relay for Reddit is at least comming with a subscription model but to be quite honest I think I'll start using Lemmy much more.

I just don't see it being viable for them. The math doesn't work once you get power users as the base for using it. Then once people realize they are missing NSFW tagged content that might be a deal breaker. This was legitimately planned by Reddit to not work on purpose.

Yeah I agree with you. It's going to be interesting to see how much he has to charge people in order for it to work. I think they will have a model where you have a set API call limit and after that you will have to upgrade.

Infinity is $5/mo, it's a reasonably priced option but I'll make a good faith effort to switch my monkey brain here first. What's a good app besides Connect?

I've been using Connect mostly but I just switched to Jerboa which seems to be one of the most downloaded apps right now.

The interface is cleaner and nice IMO. You don't get the drag for reaction / comment / bookmark but thats fine, it don't work very well to begin with. Seems to be more stable as well but I've not yet used it that much.

I was planning on using Jerboa but there was a issue when i first tried it that made me not able to login.

There is a few more comming. Pretty fun to aee how many apps have been popping up.

You seem like the kind of guy that would pay $250k to visit the Titanic
