Joey for Reddit went down today

Shialac@lemmy.world to Reddit@lemmy.world – 2003 points –

It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him

I tried all the reddit apps I got aware of and Joey was just miles ahead of the pack.

There have been so many customization settings, custom themes, well-impoemented navigation features like skipping posts/comments with the volume keys of the phone etc.

I'm currently using 8 apps for Lemmy and none of them seems even close (yes, I know these are mostly alpha releases).

I really hope the joey dev creates a Lemmy client.

It's wild that to me that the app dev made money from essentially being a web scrapper. No one should be makingoney off us posting memes lol 😂

You have no idea about amount of work involved, have you?

Obviously he put "Scrape comments = true" and then took all of our money with his advanced programming skills /s

He made money from people liking provided fun and easy access to reddit, additional functionality and customization options.
